Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Short description: Create a cross-document bookmark tree.
The package defines the concept of a document bundle, which is a
collection of documents that are to be build separately, but have a
common bookmark tree.
This package takes the bookmarks of each file in doc bundle and merges
them. The merged bookmarks are listed in all the documents of the
document bundle. In this way, a sort of 'table of contents' is
available to all documents in the bundle.
PDF Creator: no restrictions, use dvips->distiller|ps2pdf, pdflatex,
lualatex, or xelatex.
What's New (2018/06/25) Defined new commands for creating bookmarks for
which arbitrary actions, color and style can be applied. These commands
build on hyperref's bookmark commands.

License type: gpl3+ cc-by-sa-4
Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
arabluatex v1.12:
This release includes many long-awaited features. Actually, arabluatex is getting close to v2.0:
- abjad now accepts commands and counters as arguments, so that almost anything can be abjad-numbered: pages, lists,
&c.
- Introduction of LPeg patterns, making it possible to accept almost any LaTeX command in Arabic environments. Regular
footnotes and LR/LRfootnotes have been extensively tested, along with those of packages such as manyfoot.
- Much more tolerant MkArbBreak and new MkArbBreak* which directs arabluatex to close the current Arabic environment
before any 'declared' command, then resume it just after (to be used with great caution though).
- Color support! arabluatex is now able to render in color either words, parts of words (syllabes) or even diacritics
without losing any of the refined ligatures featured by such beautiful Arabic fonts as Amiri. Section 7 of the
documentation goes into details, although some of the techniques implemented require a good acquaintance with arabtex
coding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

gatherenum
package.
Version: 1.7 2018-06-19
License: gpl3+
Summary description: A crossover of align* and enumerate
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The gatherenum package (ab)uses the inline enumeration capabilities of
enumitem to add a « displayed » enumeration mode, triggered by adding
|gathered| to the key-val option list of the enumerate environment.
The end result is similar to a regular enumerate environment wrapped
in a multicols environment, with the following advantages:
* gathered enumerate can pack items depending on their actual width
rather than a fixed, constant number per line.
* it fills items in a line-major order (instead of column-major order),
which my students found less confusing.
YMMV.

Summary description: Creating graphics for TeX using Cinderella
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KeTCindy combines a plugin to Cinderella with free mathematical software
(R, Maxima, ...) to produce high-quality LaTeX graphics.
Using Cinderella to generate graphics in an interactive environment, the
generated image can be fine-tuned using KeTCindy commands embedded into
CindyScript, the scripting language of Cinderella. KeTCindy can be regarded
as a prominent scheme to establish an effective linkage between visualization
tools and editing tools. Moreover, KeTCindy enables the importation of data
calculated or simulated using other mathematical software such as Maxima,
Fricas, Risa/Asir and R, and to combine them with the graphical data, so that
an extremely wide range of mathematical objects can be presented.
