> 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: title, authors, primary author's title or position,
> metadata writer, subject/summary, keywords, copyright,
> license URL, document base URL, document identifier and
> instance identifier, language, source file name, PDF
> generating tool, PDF version, and contact telephone
> number/postal address/email address/URL. hyperxmp is
> compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm,
> xelatex, and lualatex.
>
> Version 2.3a fixes a minor bug that occurs when hyperxmp is
> used with a newer version of hyperref and the pdflang key is
> not used by the document.

> As with xint.sty, all computations are done in a manner

> xintseries.sty provides some basic functionality to compute

>
> There have been only some changes to the original xint.sty
> macros: in particular, the division is a bit faster, and the

> of the number is much longer than the other. It was also crucial
> for the calculus with fractions as the choice of the best order
> can not be guessed in advance.
>
> The documentation has been revised and enlarged. The traditional
> Machin algorithm to compute pi is illustrated. Of course, recall
> that this is all done without any memory assignments, purely by
> macro expansion, and xintseries is thus no threat to the
