Summary description: Creating and managing exercises, and reusing them as

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overdue publishing! Many fixes and new features.
Due to changes in behaviour and appearance of some commands, although most
changes fairly small and non fatal, I still increased the minor build version.
These are the main changes:
Changes:
- Activated ppMarginAbove (it now does something)
- Moved tag placement for when ShowTags active
- Part problem header is removed if only one part problem
- Changed default spacing of around exercises, partproblems, intros and
such.
New features:
- Added possibility of custom part problem header from
extproblem
- Added possibility of showing problem only when DisplaySolutions active
- Created ShowAllTags for clearing tags list
- Added exercisepoints for getting total number of points in an exercise/problem.
- Introduced SolutionsOnly
- added pgref and ppgref for global referencing problems and part problems.
- Added exercisebankversion and exercisebankbuild (for easier debugging)
- Possibility to toggle whether part problem header showing if only one part problem is displayed: exercisebanksetup{show lonely part problems}
- Added hisfilepath for getting path of current exercisefile
- Added uildsprite for building selected sets as a sprite (all sets compressed on a few pages for overview). e.g. uildsprite{set1,set2}
Bug fixes:
- Corrected use of the length ppMarginBelow
- Fixed bug where phead and ShowFilenames crash
- Fixed bug where part problem header repeats if solution is itemize.
- uildset now gives error if set does not exist.
- Made HideTags cummulative.
- Raises error when pdfTeX(or pdfLaTeX) is not used.
- Allow underscore for files in makeset
- Prevent overwriting of graphicspath
- Fixed bug where error comes at 123 exercises or more (TeX capacity exceeded error).
A special mention to the github users @tristelune1 for doing a lot of the testing for this version!
Thank you!

License type: gpl3
Summary description: Engraving Gregorian Chant scores
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the release intended for TeX Live 2019.
### Fixed
- `latin` is now supported as a valid language name. This brings Latin into line with other languages where both
titlecased and lowercased version of the language name (e.g. `English` and `english`) are both allowed.
### Added
- Added support for two and three letter language codes for supported languages. [This list of
codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639-1_codes) (and language names) was used for this support. No new
languages are supported as a result of this change, just different ways of specifying the existing names.
- A non-rotated diamond-shaped variant of the punctum inclinatum. Append a `2` in gabc to the capitalized note pitch
letter to force gregorio to use this shape. Otherwise, gregorio will try to use it when a string of these notes is at
the unison within a syllable. See [#1425](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1425).
- Support for an eighth bar (nicknamed divisio minimis) by using `^` in gabc (see
[#1424](https://github.com/gregorio-project/gregorio/issues/1424)).
- 8 new St. Gall neume glyphs have been added to the `gregall` font.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
From version 1.6, the pdfx package has been adapted to changes in LaTeX
made in 2018, in regards to input encodings, and to the newly
established hosting of Color Profiles for TeXLive due to licensing
constraints. Other additions include support for language tags for the
PDF overall and for individual Metadata field elements, as well as
extending the range of Metadata fields supported.
With version 1.6.3, babel-supported languages using UTF-8 encoding
should now work properly. More useful CMap files for text-extraction
are being produced from glyph names and use of combining accents, being
placed after the base glyph. The new pdfomitcharset primitive (added
in 2019) is supported, now enabling valid PDF/A-2 and PDF/A-3 documents
to be produced whatever fonts are being used.
