package.
Version number: 2.4 2016-04-14
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Optimise the use of each page of a LaTeX document
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto
each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the
document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to
save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can
also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a
conference or journal submission.
Version 2.4 of savetrees skims off even more white space above the
document's title block.

Announcement text:

The main goal of the typed-checklist package is to provide means
for typesetting checklists in a way that stipulates users to explicitly
distinguish checklists for goals, for tasks, for artifacts, and for
milestones - i.e., the type of checklist entries.
The intention behind this is that a user of the package is coerced
to think about what kind of entries he/she adds to the checklist.
This shall yield a clearer result and, in the long run, help with
training to distinguish entries of different types.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2.5 milestone update moves toward greater modularity in processing
names.
No default format is assigned to names. Those who used the previous
default still may get that behavior with the smallcaps option.
The front/main matter systems each have their own first- and
subsequent-use hooks. Complex interactions with names and their
contexts are possible. Longer examples in the manual are included also
in a separate examples file.
This opens possibilities for reference works, historical research, and
any situation where one must key information to names and create
complex interactions based on that.
