caps in all styles rather than just regular, added figure
styles (proportional, inferior, numerator, denominator) and
superior letters. The size is 6% smaller than Heuristica,
matching that of UtopiaStd.

Version number: 2.6
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by
Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document
itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even
by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format.
Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving
files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX
document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as
well.
hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires
virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit
hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current
version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP:
authors, base URL, contact telephone number/postal
address/email address/URL, copyright statement, creation date,
document identifier, document instance identifier, file format,
keywords, language, LaTeX file name, license URL, metadata
writer, PDF version, PDF-generating tool, PDF/A compliance
level and version, primary author's position or title,
subject/summary, and title. hyperxmp is compatible with
pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and
lualatex.
Version 2.6 of the package introduces a new pdfdate key.
Like LaTeX's date macro, pdfdate specifies the document date,
which defaults to the build date.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 2.2, submitted to CTAN on 24 September 2014, contained some
significant changes. Some kerning fixes; the introduction of a
short-tailed Q in the roman fonts, accessed via drmshortq; and the
introduction of superior and inferior figures, the former being the
default (unless |nodefault| or |notextdefault| is selected) for
footnote numbering. Did the usual kerning tweaks. Finally, I fixed
the acute and grave accents, which in a number of cases were
inexplicably backwards.

package.
Version number: 1.1
License type: lppl1.3

umexpr...
elax construct to big
integers.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.1 of 2014/09/21
hebnumexpr...
elax is analogous to he
umexpr...
elax but
for arbitrarily big integers. Example:
hebnumexpr 30*(21-43*(512-67*(6133-812*2897)))
elax
which outputs -202785405180.
Option allowpower furthermore enables ^ for power operations.
By default, bnumexpr uses the arithmetic macros from xint (with /
doing rounded division for compatibility with
umexpr). To reduce
overhead, perhaps at some point these could get extracted from
xint.sty/xinttools.sty and moved to a smaller core package.
Option bigintcalc tells bnumexpr to load package bigintcalc rather
than package xint (however / does then truncated division).
With option custom, neither xint nor bigintcalc are loaded and it
is up to the user to provide suitable definitions for expandable
macros numexprAdd, numexprSub, numexprMul, numexprDiv and,
in case of option allowpower, also numexprPow.
The numexpr parser is a scaled down version of xintiiexpr from
xintexpr.sty (which loads the whole chain xintfrac/xint/xinttools)
Currently it is provided only as a LaTeX2e package.

The goal of this package is the simplest possible provision of

are supported). In the simplest case, the specification of an
address is sufficient. The package loads the map using the
write18 feature, which you must activate to use this package.
The image will be downloaded by an external Lua script. You can
use this script also from the command line.

Changes in v1.7:
- added kml2epl and kml2gps modes to getmapdl.lua
Google's *new* version of 'My Maps' allows the definition of
markers, routes and arbitrary lines on different layers and
export of all of these into kml files.
getmapdl -m kml2epl -K file.kml
will parse the file and output the geographical coordinates of
defined places and the routes and lines as encoded polylines
- added multi track support for gpx2epl and gpx2gps modes;
revised gps2epl mode
- updated documentation
