Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides for  an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic
writing from an ascii transliteration. It is particularly well-suited
for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions
where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing.
arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeXÂ input notation. Its output
can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in
different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical
refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet
to come to produce from .tex source files, in addition to printed
books, TEI xml compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be
searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.

Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
pdfcomment
package.
Version number: 2.3b
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For a long time pdflatex has offered the command `pdfannot` for inserting
arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in
a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is
indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions
in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe
Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a
convenient and user-friendly means of using `pdfannot` to provide
comments
in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports:
LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers may vary.
The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader.
License: **LPPL**
Changes in v2.3b:
* Bugfix: incorrect vertical position of superscripts with `pdftooltip`
reported and patched by Ross Moore
* Bugfix: change zero width in `pdfcomment` and `pdfmargincomment`
to make the comments visible in both Evince and the internal
viewer of TeXStudio
reported by shaniaki (BitBucket #7)
* improve appearance of tooltips with Mac Preview (at least)
feature request by Ross Moore
* expand comment argument in `pdftooltip` before pushing it through
`pdfstringdef`
feature request by Robert Terwilliger (Bitbucket #18)
* added `pdfencoding=auto` while loading `hyperref`
Needed for Unicode bookmarks in `XeTeX` and `LuaTeX`
* dropped support for `pdfreply`
