biblatex-dw
package.
Version number: 1.6
License type: lppl
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.6 [2013/09/07]
This version of biblatex-dw was tested with biblatex 2.7a and biber 1.7.
- New option addyear (authortitle-dw only): If set to true, the year of the
publication will be added after the title in citations. The year appears in
parentheses. The default for this option is false.
- BUGFIX: If a title ended with a question mark or an exclamation mark, the
seenote string in footnote-dw was capitalised. This has been fixed.
- BUGFIX: There was a problem with @inbook entries in the bibliography when
using xref=true (the author of the book entry was not always shown). This is
now fixed.
- BUGFIX: Using annotation=true and/or library=true lead to a superfluous
linebreak and dot in those entries which held an annotation and/or library.

package.
Version number: 1.3a
License type: lppl
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.3a [2013/09/04]
The command MTsetmathskips from recent release 1.3 is more
flexible (e.g. for use in an @for loop): its first argument
may be a macro (or any expandable code) giving the letter.
The amsmath macro
esetMathstrut@ is replaced only when
strictly necessary (i.e. if the user makes the parentheses
mathematically active via MTnonlettersobeymathxx).
Again some improvements in the documentation.

Jürgen Göbel submitted an update to the
savesym
package.
Version number: 1.2
License type: lppl
Summary description: There are a number of symbols (e.g.,
Square) that are defined by several packages. In order to
typeset all the variants in a document, we have to give the
glyph a unique name. To do that, we define savesymbol{XXX},
which renames a symbol from XXX to origXXX, and
estoresymbols{yyy}{XXX}, which renames origXXX back to XXX
and defines a new command, yyyXXX, which corresponds to the
most recently loaded version of XXX.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.2 2013/09/02
