package.
Summary description: Completely customisable TOCs

v1.07h [2013/10/16]
* new commands etocdepthtag.toc {tag_name} and
etocsettagdepth {tag_name}{numeric_level_or_division_name}
These new commands allow to obtain easily the following kind of
effect: one wants each Part of a document to contain a table of
contents displaying the other Part headings, with no finer
division, whereas the Part itself will appear with all its own
sub-divisions.
This could already be done with the etocsettocdepth.toc command
of recent releaser 1.07g, but was a bit of an overuse.

xint
package.
Version number: 1.09c
License type: lppl
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Release 1.09c adds new features:
* TINYINT(1) and togl are two new functions recognized by the
xintexpr parser. They act as in etoolbox boolean expressions
(togl requires etoolbox, as it gives the truth value of the
named toggle), and may be freely combined using the logic
operators &, |, or functions all, any, xor, etc...
* new conditional xintifboolexpr {<expr>}{YES}{NO}, where
<expr> is written in the xintexpr recognized infix syntax,
* the (non-expandable) utility xintApplyInline has been
enhanced to be usable in contexts such as alignments where
the applied macro may close groups,
* xintFor is a new kind of for loop: it uses #1, #2, #3, #4
rather than macros to represent the (comma separated) list
items; e.g. xintFor #1 in {a,b,c} do { extbf{#1}}. Despite
not being completely expandable, it is nestable, and usable
to generate rows in alignments, as it survives the closing of
groups via its replacement text,
* xintSeq expandably generates arithmetic sequences.
Some other changes and code improvements, and improved documentation.

Version number: 1.9
License type: gpl
Summary description: pgfplots - Create normal/logarithmic plots
in two and three dimensions for LaTeX.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.9 comes with the following changes:
- 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
