Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
eqparbox
package.
Version number: 4.1
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Create equal-widthed parboxes
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text
occupy the same horizontal space on the page. To that end, the
eqparbox package defines eqparbox, eqmakebox, eqframebox, and
eqsavebox macros and an eqminipage environment. These work,
respectively, just like the parbox, makebox, framebox, and savebox
macros and the minipage environment, except that instead of specifying
a width, one specifies a tag. All boxes with the same tag --
regardless of where they are in the document -- will stretch to fit the
widest box that uses that tag. This simple, equal-width mechanism can
be used for a variety of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the
examples in eqparbox's documentation.
Version 4.1 of eqparbox corrects a few minor problems with the code and
documentation.

algobox
package.
Version: 1.1 2017-09-03
License: gpl3+
Summary description: Typeset Algobox programs
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package can typeset Algobox programs almost exactly as displayed
when editing with Algobox itself (http://www.xm1math.net/algobox/),
using an input syntax very similar to the actual Algobox program text.
It is far better than the LaTeX export of Algobox which does not look
like the editor rendition, has arbitrary and inconsistent differences
with the program text, is not very easy to customize and produces
standalone documents.

The komacv-rg bundle provides packages that aid in creating CVs based
on the komacv class and creating related documents, such as cover
letters and cover sheets for job applications. Concretely, the bundle
consists of three packages: komacv-addons, komacv-lco, and
komacv-multilang. komacv-addons is a small collection of add-ons and
fixes for the komacv class; komacv-lco enables the use of letter class
options from scrlttr2 also in komacv-based and other non-scrlttr2-based
documents; komacv-multilang enables the provisioning of CVs in multiple
languages and the selection of a language via babel or polyglossia.

Summary description: A LaTeX package for maintaining multiple translations of a document
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maintaining a LaTeX document with translations for multiple
languages can be cumbersome and error-prone. The multilang package
provides a set of macros for defining macros and environments as
wrappers around existing macros and environments.
These wrappers allow one to clearly specify multiple translations
for the arguments to the wrapped macros and environments while only
the translation of the document's language is actually shown.
Choosing a translation then is as simple as choosing the document's
language via babel or polyglossia.

Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a clean-up release. It deprecates many macros from
xintcore.sty and xint.sty. Deprecated macros generate an
error message but then (as a rule) expand as in former releases.
The majority of these deprecated macros receive their proper
definitions from package xintfrac.sty. Loading the latter
will thus, for those macros it defines again, make invisible to
end-user this xintcore/xint macro deprecation status.
All these deprecated macros are marked for removal at next major
release.

The forms16be package provides support for UTF-16BE Unicode character
encoding (called a big-endian character string) for the text string
type (PDF Reference, version 1.7, beginning on page 158). Text strings
are used in text annotations, bookmark names, article threads,
document information, and so forth (to partially quote page 158). The
particular application is to set property values of form fields, at
least those properties that take the text strings as its value. The
package contains support for Basic Latin plus the ability to enter any
unicode character using the notation uXXXX, where 'XXXX' are four hex
digits. Package works for dvips/Distiller, pdflatex, lualatex, and
xelatex.
