the Twemoji Mozilla font through HarfBuzz, and ships
a full PDF reference of every key.

Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, this new version (v0.7a) introduces an incompatible change. The
placeholder used to identify the calendar year within .events files has been
renamed from \year to \calYear to avoid conflicts with other packages.
Furthermore, holidays linked to Easter Sunday can now be generated automatically
with the help of the LaTeX package `easter`. See, for example,
`tikz-kalender-example1.tex`.

handstroke
package.
Version: 0.3.0 2026-07-12
License: mit
Summary description: Eye-catching hand-drawn underline
Announcement text:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This LaTeX package provides the \handstroke command, which underlines
a word or a phrase with a line that looks as if it were drawn by hand.
A straight, ruler-perfect rule blends into the text and is easy to overlook,
whereas an uneven, hand-drawn handstroke stands apart from the page and
catches the reader's eye.
The line can optionally be tinted in any color.

Liam Huang submitted an update to the
CTeX
package.
Version: 2.6.2
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: LaTeX classes and packages for Chinese typesetting
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release adds FangSong font support for the `ubuntu` fontset, fixes a metadata inconsistency, refactors the source structure, and improves the documentation typography.
NEW FEATURES
- The `ubuntu` fontset now includes a FangSong configuration and the `\fangsong` command. When compiling with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, the font is automatically selected from Zhuque FangSong, FandolFang, or Source Han Serif, in that order (#908).
BUG FIXES
- Fixed `\ProvidesExplFile` in `ctex-heading-*.def` where the declared filename (`ctex-*.def`) did not match the actual filename.
IMPROVEMENTS
- Split the monolithic `ctex.dtx` into six source files: `ctex.dtx` (install script and user documentation), `ctex-kernel.dtx`, `ctex-engine.dtx`, `ctex-scheme.dtx`, `ctex-auxpkg.dtx`, and `ctex-fontset.dtx`. Refactoring by Xia Mingyu (#937).
- Enabled `Language` and `PoZheHaoLigature` for the documentation font, so that em dashes render as full-width ligatures (#382).
- Switched the documentation monospaced font to Zhuque FangSong and the italic font to LXGW WenKai GB Lite (#908).
