Summary description: User-friendly integration of Asymptote into LaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The asypictureB package is an unofficial alternative to the asymptote
package for creating Asymptote pictures within a latex source file.
While it does not duplicate all the features of the official package,
it is more user-friendly in several ways. Most notably, Asymptote
errors are repackaged as LaTeX errors, making debugging less of a pain.
It also has a more robust mechanism for identifying unchanged pictures
that need not be recompiled.

Version number: v0.3.3
License type: gpl
Summary description: Restyle numbers in maths mode
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update fixes a problem with MnSymbol (and potentially
other packages changing the font in math mode).
Ionumbers assigns macro definitions to certain characters in
math mode. Previously, the original mathcodes of these
characters were hard-coded into ionumbers and did not match
those defined by MnSymbol. For example, '-' in the input
turned into '+' in the output, if used with MnSymbol. The
update uses the mathcodes that the characters have at the
beginning of the document instead.
Thanks to Michael Sebastian Hitziger for reporting this problem.

pkuthss
package.
Version number: 1.5.0
License type: other-free
Summary description: LaTeX template for dissertations in Peking University
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes (relative to v1.4 rc4)
------------------------------
* Changes to package code:
- pkuthss.cls: do not disable `uppercase' in `nouppermark' mode.
* Changes to example template:
- Split from documentation.
- Also offer pdf for the example template.
* Changes to documentation:
- Remove support for CRLF (except for Windows .bat's), as required by CTAN.
- Relicense to LPPL v1.3+ (not including the example template).
* Misc:
- Switch to the x.y.z version scheme, thus no longer use alpha/beta/rc.
- Minor fixes and improvements.
Details and trivia
------------------
* The most important change is that we now offer a template
that is much simpler than previous versions, because the
template is now separated from the documentation.
* Another significant change is that we now use the `x.y.z'
version scheme rather than `1.4 alpha1' or so, because we
realise that our release cycle is really non-deterministic,
and the new scheme is more more flexible and suitable for us.
* In fact, v1.4 is released as an intermediate version earlier
today, but not uploaded because CTAN does not seem to host
coexistent versions of the same package ;)
