Summary description: A versatile book class
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This class is intended to be an interpretation of the mwbk class. The
mwcls classes are simple, yet powerful and customizable classes that
allow the end-user to customize the layout of headers, headings etc.
They also have the benefit of being more economic in space than the
most common LaTeX classes, while keeping a clear appearance and a
smooth flow.

asymptote
package.
Version number: 2.37
License type: lgpl3
Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The xasy graphical user interface now runs under both Python 2.7 and
Python 3. Legacy versions (prior to 9.14) of Ghostscript can be
supported by assigning settings.epsdriver=epswrite (or by setting the
environment variable ASYMPTOTE_EPSDRIVER to epswrite). The
quiet flag suppresses noninteractive standard output when
settings.verbosity <= 1. A progress function was added to the
plain_strings
module. The smoothcontour3 module was optimized to use Bezier triangles
where appropriate, along with a built-in least-squares routine
and an improved root finder based on quadratic interpolation. If
settings.sysdir is empty, preference is given to a version of
kpsewhich in the same directory as the executable for determining the
correct sysdir. The handling of degenerate normals of Bezier
triangles was fixed. Bugs in forking, INT formatting, dash adjustment,
subpaths, and guide reversion were fixed. Version 1.30 of
asymptote.sty (auto-generated) and version 0.35 (or later) of media9.sty
are now required.

package.
Version number: 1.2f 2016-03-12
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bug fixes
- squaring macro xintSqr from xintfrac.sty was broken due to a
misspelled sub-macro name. Dates back to 1.1 release of 2014/10/28
:-((.
- 1.2c's fix to the subtraction bug from 1.2 introduced another bug,
which in some cases could create leading zeroes in the output, or
even worse. This could invalidate other routines using subtractions,
like xintiiSquareRoot.
Improvements and new features
- functions binomial, pfactorial and factorial in both INT and
float versions.
- faster implementation and increased accuracy of float power macros.
- faster implementation of both integral and float square root macros.
- the float square root achieves _correct_ (aka _exact_) rounding in
arbitrary precision.
- modified behaviour for the xintPFloat macro, used by
xintthefloatexpr to prettify its output. It now opts for decimal
notation if and only if scientific notation would use an exponent
between -5 and 5 inclusive. The zero value is printed 0. with a dot.
- the documentation offers a more precise (and accurate) discussion of
floating point issues.
- various under-the-hood code improvements; the floatexpr operations
are chained in a faster way, from skipping some unneeded parsing on
results of earlier computations. The absence of a real inner data
structure for floats (incorporating their precisions, for one) is
however still a bit hair rising: currently the lengths of the
mantissas of the operands are computed again by each float macro or
expression operation.
- renewed desperate efforts at improving the documentation by random
shuffling of sections and well thought additions; cuts were
considered and even performed.
