Summary description: Actuarial symbols of life contingencies and financial mathematics
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package actuarialsymbol provides facilities to compose actuarial
symbols of life contingencies and financial mathematics characterized
by subscripts and superscripts on both sides of a principal symbol.
The package also features commands to easily and consistently position
precedence numbers above or below statuses in symbols for multiple
lives contracts.
Since the actuarial notation can get quite involved, the package
defines a number of shortcut macros to ease entry of the most
common elements. Appendix A of the documentation also lists
the commands to typeset a large selection of symbols of
life contingencies.
The package requires `actuarialangle`
(version v2.0 dated 2017/04/10 or above is needed to typeset
the documentation).

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package actuarialangle provides commands to typeset the angle

Default spacing between the duration and the right descender
was changed in version 2.0 of the package (with an option to
revert to previous behaviour).
The package now also provides an over angle bracket symbol (or
roof) to emphasize joint status when ambiguity is possible.
Finally, proper documentation is now included.
