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/.

Summary description: Create a cross-document bookmark tree
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.
