Summary description: LaTeX template for the Telegram group “Retos Matemáticos”
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear CTAN community,
This package is the result of a long process of refinement to the template used
in the Telegram group "Retos Matemáticos", by José Manuel Sánchez Muñoz.
The code employed to write the problem statements and solutions has been
abstracted enough so that it can be used by anyone interested (member or not) -
although it still is specifically tailored to our community -.
Modifications are completely allowed (see license)! All that is needed is
attribution, and for the modified code to be equally licensed. This is because
this package is licensed under CC-BY-SA 4.0
Finally, for any further details, a good place to start is the sample document,
and the package documentation itself. Any questions can be inquired to the
package maintainer (me) at henrydiazbordon(a)gmail.com.
Regards,
Henry Diaz Bordón

License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Extends eTeX’s \numexpr...\relax construct to big integers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
\bnumeval extends LaTeX's \inteval with support for arbitrarily
big integers, // for floored division, /: for the associated
remainder, ^ and ** for powers, ! for factorials. A user
interface allows to add new operators to the syntax, or to
modify the behavior of existing ones. The package can
also be used under Plain (pdf|xe|lua)TeX, with help of miniltx.
The 1.6 release adds:
- 0b, 0o (and '), 0x are recognized as prefixes for binary, octal,
and hexadecimal (formerly, only " for hexadecimal was provided).
- \bnumeval accepts an optional argument [b], [o] or [h], which
tells to convert the output to binary, octal, or hexadecimal.
- characters (such as ! and : with French) which are Babel-active
with the pdftex engine are out-of-the-box compatible.
There are some breaking changes (mainly, the replacement of
\evaltohex by \bnumeval[h]), check the PDF documentation.

maine-thesis
package.
Version: 2.0.0 2025-09-05
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A document class for University of Maine graduate theses
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package ‘maine-thesis’ provides support for the formating requirements
for graduate theses of the Graduate School at The university of Maine.
It sets default parameters for the report class, modifies captions,
references, and the table of contents, and makes specific environments
available.
Key Features
Modernized Codebase:
- Version 2.0.0 is a complete refactor of the previous version.
It uses a .dtx file format to generate both the class file
(maine-thesis.cls) and its documentation from a single source,
which streamlines maintenance.
- The class now uses modern packages like biblatex with the Biber
backend for citation management, replacing a simpler, older approach.
- New dependencies like fontspec, microtype, and hyperref have
been added for more robust font, typography, and hyperlinking capabilities.
Improved User Interface:
- The new version introduces clearer, named macros for setting
heading styles, such as \apaheadings, \chicagoheadings,
and \idecimalheadings, replacing the old numerical counter system.
Caption formatting has also been unified with \DeclareCaptionFormat{thesis},
providing a single command for customization.
Updated Formatting and Requirements:
- The class file has been updated to align with the latest
Graduate School requirements.
- It removes deprecated commands like \libraryrights and \dissacceptance
because the Graduate School no longer requires these pages for electronic
submission. The biography environment now automatically inserts
the final required sentence, which can use a pronoun specified
by the \authorpronoun command.
- It also includes an optional command, \glsa, to generate the
official University of Maine Graduate School Land Acknowledgment.
Streamlined Environments:
- The \appendix command has been updated and now works within
the appendices environment.
- The multiappendices option replaces the old \multipleappendicestrue
command for managing multiple appendices.
- The \preliminary and \mainmatter commands now handle page numbering
and document structure more reliably.
- The main.tex file now coordinates other files using \include{...}
statements for better organization and easier drafting.
Enhanced Functionality:
- The class file supports the draft option, which adds a "DRAFT"
watermark, line numbers, and marks overfull lines, making it
useful for sharing review copies.
- You can use \compresstitlepage to adjust line spacing on the
title page to prevent it from spilling onto a second page.
- The \ignore and \comment commands, sourced from the changes package,
provide useful tools for managing content during the drafting process.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
– The xintexpr syntax now recognizes in addition to " for
hexadecimal, the prefix ' for octal.
- It also implements the prefixes 0x, 0o and 0b (with
possibly a fractional part).
- \xintiieval admits an optional parameter [h], [o], [b]
for conversion of the integer output to hexadecimal,
octal, or binary.
– Babel active characters are auto-taming in \xinteval.
It is now possible to use xintexpr also with OpTeX and
ConTeXt-LMTX.
Refer to xintchanges.md for more details. The file
sourcexint.pdf has been removed because xint.pdf now
contains both the user manual and the commented source
code (i.e. it is the xint-all.pdf which could be built
from sources in 2022 with hyperlinking back and forth
from user manual to commented source code).
