- Logarithms (natural and to the base 10), exponentials and
powers now available up to 62 digits.
- Trigonometric functions also available at high degree of
accuracy up to 62 digits.
- Special fast mode at 8 digits or less for the above mentioned
functions, at a lowered accuracy standard (correct rounding
perhaps only in about 95% of cases), but largely precise enough
for tasks such as plots.
Also taking this opportunity to announce xintsession which
has been available for a few weeks.
Try out etex xintsession or, if available,

NewComputerModern
package.
Version number: 3.90
License type: gfl
Summary description: Computer Modern fonts including matching non-latin alphabets
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is an intermediate release as we move towards Version 4. The fonts now
(i) include 8pt versions for Regular and Book weight in Regular and Italic in Roman and Sans families
(ii) Support diacritics stacking for all Latin glyphs
(iii) Source sfd files are included since they now essentially differ from otf files. The diacritics
stacking capability added, enabled the auto-composition of accented glyphs already in Unicode, thus
reducing the size of sfd files and enabling the possibility to correct one spline and the correction
to be inherited in all composed glyphs.
This capability will be added to Greek for version 4. The 8pt fonts will be used for footnote and
lower sizes when the latest fontsetup package is loaded with options 'default' or 'olddefault'.

tipauni
package.
Version: 0.1 2021-04-27
License: gpl3+
Summary description: Producing Unicode characters with TIPA commands
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package TIPA uses the T3 encoding for producing IPA characters.
The package is widely used in the field of linguistics, but because
of the old encoding, the output documents are less productive than
Unicode-based documents.
This package redefines most of the TIPA-commands for outputting
Unicode characters. Users can now use their beloved TIPA shortcuts
with the benefits of Unicode i.e. searchability, copy-pasting,
changing the font and many more.
As this package needs the package fontspec for loading an IPA font,
it needs to be compiled with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX.
This package can also be viewed as an ASCII-based input method for
producing IPA characters in Unicode.
This package also needs the Charis SIL font for printing IPA characters.
