Summary description: Name authority mechanism for consistency in body
text and index
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.

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.

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.
