hyperxmp
package.
Version number: 2.4
License type: lppl
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 2.4 of hyperxmp embeds more precise timestamps (when
possible), uses proper version 4 UUIDs, provides an xmptilde
macro for including tildes in URLs, and includes better support
(thanks to Florian Breitwieser) for producing PDF/A-compliant XMP
metadata.

Donald Arseneau submitted an update to the
url
package.
Version number: 3.4
License type: lppl
Summary description: The command url is a form of verbatim
command that allows linebreaks at certain characters or
combinations of characters, accepts reconfiguration, and
can usually be used in the argument to another command.
(The urldef command provides robust commands that serve
in cases when url doesn't work in an argument.) The
command is intended for email addresses, hypertext
links, directories/paths, etc., which normally have no
spaces, so by default the package ignores spaces in its
argument. However, a package option “allows spaces”,
which is useful for operating systems where spaces are a
common part of file names.
