Summary description: Support for the Stone Sans Phonetic font
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Stone Sans is a humanist sans-serif font, and Stone Sans Phonetic is a
companion font for the International Phonetic Alphabet -- one of the first
professionally-designed IPA fonts, and still one of the best.
Because these beautiful fonts predate Unicode, Stone Sans Phonetic uses an
idiosyncratic encoding that makes it hard to use.
This package overcomes that limitation, and lets you use the two in
XeLaTeX as if they were a single Unicode font with good IPA support. (The
package does not contain the fonts themselves, which must be purchased
separately.)

Summary description: Access to formulas in PDF files by by assistive

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We propose the axessibility package. PDF documents containing formulae
generated by LaTeX are usually not accessible by assistive technologies
for visually impaired people (i.e., by screen readers and braille
displays). The axessibility package manages this issue, allowing to create
a PDF document where the formulae are read by these assistive
technologies, since it automatically generates hidden comments in the PDF
document (by means of the /ActualText attribute) in correspondence to each
formula.

Version number: 2018-07-03
License type: pd
Summary description: Unofficial reference manual covering LaTeX2e
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have updated the unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual.
There are many changes in this version. We have gone through the two
documents latex-info and latex2e-reference and made sure that this
document contains all the information about user-level commands that
those documents contain. There have also been other changes,
including switching to a single unified index, a more uniform entry
format, and many more examples and error messages. There are a number
of entirely new entries such as ones on strut, caligraphic math
fonts, oldmath, and blackboard bold. There have also been
adjustments to the organization such as having separate sections for
part, chapter, etc., and some combinations such as that of
clearpage and cleardoublepage.
In addition, there were many bug fixes, including greatly shrinking
the size of one of the graphics.
The English version and the French version track closely, although
they are separate projects on CTAN. The Spanish version needs
a maintainer.
Suggestions, bug reports, all discussion and contributions are welcome.

etc.) is https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/software/latexrefman/.
