Version date: 2014-03-16
License type: apache2
Summary description: Clear Sans fonts with LaTeX support
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Clear Sans was designed by Daniel Ratighan at Monotype under
the direction of the User Experience team at Intel’s Open
Source Technology Center. Clear Sans is available in three
weights (regular, medium, and bold) with corresponding italics,
plus light and thin upright (without italics).
Clear Sans has minimized, unambiguous characters and slightly
narrow proportions, making it ideal for UI design. Its strong,
recognizable forms avoid distracting ambiguity, making Clear
Sans comfortable for reading short UI labels and long passages
in both screen and print.

babel
package.
Version number: 3.9i
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new
~~~~~~~~~~
- With LuaTeX, spaces are not ignored after shorthands and closing
braces can follow them.
- extlatin and friends are deprecated. For the logos (see below) a
new macro is used if necessary (ensureascii), so extlatin is not
used in the core any more.
- abelensure can be used to wrap caption texts with
foreignlanguage, as well as to enforce an encoding.
- abeltags is just for syntactical sugar, and defines macros with
short names to switch the language (eg, extdeu and deu).
- Bug fixed -- The logos TeX and LaTeX were typeset in a wrong font
in some cases. Now if a non-ASCII font is not loaded they are not
redefined at all.
- Partial compatibility with languages named as lang@ instead
of l@ (plain etex/xetex/luatex).
- Bug fixed -- bl@allowhyphens is now ignored in vertical mode.
- Bug fixed -- Loops with @for failed in Plain.
- Bug fixed -- A few codes in xetex where wrong when loading patterns.
- Bug fixed -- With strings=encoded captions were left unchanged in
MakeUppercase/MakeLowercase.

playfair
package.
Version date: 2014-03-14
License type: ofl
Summary description: Playfair Display fonts with LaTeX support
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Playfair Display is well suited for titling and headlines. It
has an extra large x-height and short descenders. It can be set
with no leading if space is tight, for instance in news
headlines, or for stylistic effect in titles. Capitals are
extra short, and only very slightly heavier than the lowercase
characters. This helps achieve a more even typographical colour
when typesetting proper nouns and initialisms.
The designer is Claus Eggers Sørensen.

Summary description: A method of numbering chemical compounds
Announcement text:

This is version 1.0 of chemnum.
For this update the package has been rewritten from scratch.
There are various changes some of which will break existing
documents. (I have struggled with this decision for a while but
then chemnum /has/ been in an experimental stage before,
so...). While the new version undoubtedly has new bugs its
syntax won't change anymore. So at least from the perspective
of a user v1.0 is supposed to be stable :)
Some of the changes have already been announced here:
