Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe
for embedding document metadata within the document itself.
The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs
that are oblivious to the document's file format.
Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files.
Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document
authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well.
Version 2.8 of hyperxmp fixes a bug that caused inadvertent
lowercasing of non-Latin letters appearing in the metadata
when using XeLaTeX orLuaLaTeX.
Thanks to Leonid Sinev for reporting the problem.

Summary description: Support for article threads
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Through the commands of the artthread package, create PDF article threads,
a concept/feature of Adobe Reader/Acrobat that has been around since the
product's beginning. The use of article threads typically only makes sense
in a document in which the text is in a multi-column format.
Set the article threads after the composition of the document is completed.
The method of setting the threads is very visual, not automatic as in the
threadcol package of Scott Pakin (available for pdftex only).
The artthreads package supports all drivers: dvips, pdflatex (which
includes lualatex), dvipdfm, dvipdfmx, and xelatex.

Summary description: Creates a DB of Bible verses from e-Sword, then

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This bundle provides two packages, bibpes and fetchbibpes. This pair of
packages was motivated by a friend, who was preparing Bible studies
lessons using a combination of the application e-Sword
(http://www.e-sword.net/) and LaTeX. He wanted a `database' of Bible
packages from which he could simply `fetch' passages into the LaTeX
source file. 1. Use bibpes to develop a database of verses. 2. Use
fetchbibpes to fetch the verses.

Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides for an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic
writing from an ascii transliteration. It is particularly well-suited
for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions
where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing.
arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeX input notation. Its output
can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in
different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical
refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet
to come to produce from .tex source files, in addition to printed
books, TEI xml compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be
searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways.
