Announcement text:

arara is a TeX automation tool based on rules and directives. It is, in some
aspects, similar to other well-known tools like Latexmk and rubber. The key
difference might be the fact that arara aims at exploiting metadata in the
source code, that is, explicit instructions in the source code in order to
determine what to do instead of relying on other resources, such as log file
analysis.

babel-beta
package.
Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the second beta release of babel 3.9. The main aims of
this version are to fix bugs (there were lots) and to add basic
support for xetex and luatex.
Here is a list of most of the new and extended macros:
-- usershorthands* is like useshorthands but it makes sure
shorthands are always activated.
-- defineshorthands can be used to (re)define system and
language shorthands, and a new level for language-dependent
user shorthands is added, which takes precedence over normal
user shorthands.
-- shorthandoff* restores the original catcode or definition
(useful with ~ and ^).
-- AfterBabelLanguage sets code to be executed at the end
of the corresponding ldf file.
-- abelhyphen inserts a hyphen (soft, hard, nobreak...).
-- abelhyphenation is like hyphenation but for all
languages or specific ones (lccode changes are taken
into account).
-- AddBabelHook sets code to be executed at some events
(EnableBabelHook and DisableBabelHook control them).
-- StartBabelCommands, SetString, and a few more, may be
used to define encoding dependent captions (eg, utf8 for
xetex and luatex)
New package options:
-- shorthands sets which language/system shorthands are
allowed.
-- safe sets if bib and/or ref macros are redefined.
-- config sets a different config file.
-- main sets the main language.
-- headfoot sets the language in heads and foots.
-- noconfigs: .cfg files are not loaded.
-- showlanguages prints to the log file the languages
preloaded
-- math sets the behaviour of shorthands in math mode
in the format.
I hope the final version will be available by March/April.

This package simplifies writing PGF shapes.
Declaring custom shapes with correct anchor borders can be difficult. Complex
shapes often need complicated calculations to find the touching point of a
connecting line. This package only requires that a developer write a PGF path
describing the anchor border. It also provides macros that help with the
management of shape parameters, and the definition of anchor points.
