Version number: 1.0
License type: lppl
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:

For all changes please refer to the package manual.

Version number: 4.04
License type: lppl
Summary description: Create glossaries and lists of acronyms.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* glossaries.sty:
- There are now three ways of creating glossaries:
(1) using makeindex;
(2) using xindy;
(3) using TeX (new this version).
The new method (using TeX instead of makeindex/xindy)
uses the new commands: makenoidxglossaries,
printnoidxglossary and printnoidxglossaries
(Analogous to makeglossaries, printglossary
and printglossaries).
This new method allows independent sort methods for
individual glossaries, which isn't available for the
makeindex/xindy methods.
- New package option noredefwarn
- Minor bug fixes
makeglossaries:
- Added new switches: -Q and -k

done by tocloft both for the contents and the title of the
table of contents; etoc's depth tags, localtableofcontents,
label+ref mechanism are functional. It is possible to use etoc
contents and title styles for one TOC and tocloft's for another
one (tocloft should be loaded before etoc, else a warning will
be issued.)
Also, better compatibility with the memoir class,
and one more example of etoc line styles specification has been

Version number: 1.10
License type: gpl
Summary description: Create normal/logarithmic plots in two and three
dimensions.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY:
1.10:
- new feature: fill between plots (library fillbetween)
- new feature: concatenate intersection segments (library fillbetween)
- fixed bug: xelatex failed to run contour external
- fixed incompatibility with label and usepackage{mcaption}
- fixed bug: histograms produced wrong point meta
- fixed bug: histograms reported the wrong 'plot name' and confused
shifts of bar plots 1.9:
- new feature: asymmetric error bars
- new feature: activated math parser for axis limit arguments,
arguments in axis cs, and domain argument in log plots
- new feature: stacked bar plots place their 'nodes near coords'
correctly in the middle and print the increment (compat=1.9)
- new feature: stacked bar plots suppress empty increments (compat=1.9).
- new feature: 'scatter/position=relative|absolute' allow to position
'nodes near coords' absolutely. use-case: bar plots + nodes near coords
which are at, say, y=0 rather than their y value
- new feature: integration of smooth shadings & auto-CMYK conversion
usepackage[cmyk]{xcolor} or selectcolormodel{cmyk} will reconfigure
pgfplots to use CMYK (document-wide)
- new feature (advanced audience only): programmatic access to data
coordinates during the visualization phase -> allows much more
customization for error bars, stacked plots, nodes near coords.
- wrote beginner tutorials
- fixed bug: error bars and point meta did not work together
- fixed bug: stacked plots did not respect 'visualization depends on'
- fixed bug: luatex 0.76 is not backwards compatible; added version
switch
- fixed bug: ternary library precision has been improved
- fixed bug: problem with axis limits very close to 0
- fixed bug: colormap specification limit case produced out of bounds
exception 1.8:
