Version number: 2.1

Summary description: Arts-style bibliographical information
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes from BibArts version 2.0 (2015) to version 2.1:
You now may choose your own order of page and footnote numbers in the
index (roman--arabic, arabic--roman, etc.). Type bibsort -s2 xxxx
for page and ... -f2 xxxx for footnote numbers. xxxx are
permutations of four letters out of nRrAas (a=alph, A=Alph, n=arabic,
R=Roman, r=roman, s=fnsymbol): You always have to set n and s, and to
choose R *or* A, and r *or* a. E.g. srnR means, that you can use
Roman in your text, but you do not have to. bibsort is able to
evaluate the new fnsymbols (which expand to TextOrMath). If bibsort
should write into files with a different prefix as the .aux input file,
you have to use -o <outfile> now. And you may type bibsort
<infile>, *or* bibsort -i <infile> (e.g., when the input file name
begins with '-'). bibarts.sty will be even loaded, when ~:;!?'`<> are
active (catcode 13); and bibsort is sorting also z (not only s) as
ss now; see bibarts.pdf. bibsort sorts the 'official' $Greek
variables$ since version 2.0. To write single words in Old Greek,
BibArts 2.1 also provides Alpha [A], Beta [B], Epsilon [E], eta
[Z], Eta [H=sort=>E], Iota [I], Kappa [K], Mu [M], Nu [N], Rho
[P==>R], Tau [T], Chi [X==>Ch], Omicron [O], omicron [o]. BibArts
2.0 set footnotesep to 2ex, whereas 2.1 does *not* change the
pre-setted value. If you want to continue with the 2.0 distance
between two footnotes, you will have to type
setlength{footnotesep}{2ex} in your text. Some of the prepared text
elements (captions) have been modernized. The evkctitlename changed
from {Short Titles} to {Shortened References}. And gannouncektitname
changed to '... im Folgenden'. To restore the 2.0 def.:
enewcommand{gannouncektitname}{ (kern 0.015em im folgenden

Announcement text:

List selectors [L][n], [L][a:b], in expressions are faster. And
items are counted starting at zero, not one ([L][a:b] already
followed exactly Python slicing rules). The iter keyword's meaning
has changed, new one associated with rseq, former one which is
associated to rrseq renamed to iterr. The float operations with
large precision handle small inputs faster.
The documentation has an example of using iter to implement
expandably the Brent-Salamin algorithm for digits of Pi.

Version number: 0.3

Summary description: Forest-based proof trees (symbolic logic)
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
prooftrees supports drawing proof trees of the kind often used in
introductory logic classes, especially those aimed at students without
strong mathemtical backgrounds. Hodges (1991) is one example of a text
which uses this system. When teaching such a system it is especially
useful to annotate the tree with line numbers, justifications and
explanations of branch closures.
prooftrees provides a single environment, prooftree, and a variety of
tools for annotating, customising and highlighting such trees. A
cross-referencing system is provided for trees which cite line numbers
in justifications for proof lines or branch closures.
prooftrees is based on Forest and, hence, TikZ. The package requires
version 2.0.2 of Forest for expected results and will not work with
version 1.
The author is certain that some of her beliefs are false, but sure
that her belief that prooftrees has bugs is not among them.

Summary description: A flexible beamer color theme to maximize visibility
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The effectiveness of a colour scheme is heavily dependent on the
conditions you present in. Colours that look nice on a computer
screen may be invisible projected; colours that stand out in a
lit room may strain the eyes in a dark room. If possible, you should
carefully choose from Beamer's wide variety of colour themes to find
one that fits your presentation's individual needs.
The above paragraph would be excellent advice, except for one thing — only
a handful of pre-selected colour themes are publicly available for Beamer.
The vast majority of Beamer presentations use one of the built-in colour
themes, which are effective in some conditions but inadequate in others.
The goal of this package is to reduce the number of situations you find
yourself without any good colour options.
Owl is a flexible dark or light colour theme designed for maximum
readability in environments where most themes fall flat.
Main features:
- Dark color theme for presenting in low-light conditions
- Optional light color theme for presenting in bright ambient light
- Redefines color names red, green, blue, yellow to values that
are visible when displayed by certain projectors, particularly those
with a very bright green channel and dim red and blue channels.
This behaviour can be optionally disabled, with the provided colours
also available as OwlRed, OwlGreen, etc.
