On Tue, 2 Aug 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
mf2pt1
package.
Summary description: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a
Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as
TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap
tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1
fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1
imposes some restrictions on the Metafont input so it is
not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of
arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format.
Version 2.4.5 incorporates a bug fix from Werner Lemberg
that prevents non-INT arguments from being passed to
hsbw in the definition of .notdef. If you have been
receiving unknown charstring command messages from t1asm
and/or Stack underflow on hsbw in .notdef messages from
FontForge, you should upgrade to this version of mf2pt1.

unicode-math
package.
Summary description: Unicode mathematics support for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After an interminable wait, this release fixes a terribly embarrassing
incompatibility with recent versions of expl3. I'm very sorry for any
inconvenience. Other changes are listed below:
* Command names are now `protected`; this makes them safe to use in moving
arguments and so on
* Similarly to the change in v0.5c, the main math font is now loaded in
math family zero (equiv. to LaTeX's `operators` math font)
* `mathring` added
* Ensure that a math font has been selected in order to prevent problems
in minimal documents (this will be unnecessary when the OpenType LM math
font is released)
* Documentation for which was which of epsilon/varepsilon was backwards!
(thank to Rasmus Villemoes for pointing this out)
* Spurious `upUpsilon` removed (the one at U+03A5 is now the correct one)
* Typo when defining `dprime` fixed
(thanks to Ulrik Vieth for these last two)
* Fix the math class of `modtwosum`; it is now a large operator
(thanks to Michael Ummels)
* Move several LuaTeX-related patches to the `lualatex-math` package
* Fixed mathtool's `cramped` in XeLaTeX usage
