On Thu, 29 Mar 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the
bitelist
package.
Summary description: split list at list inside in TeX's mouth
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`bitelist.sty' provides commands for splitting a token list
at the first occurrence of a contained token list. I.e., for given
token lists s, t return b and shortest a, such that t = a s b.
As opposed to other packages providing similar features,
(i) the method uses TeX's mechanism of reading delimited macro
parameters;
(ii) the splitting macros work by pure expansion, without
assignments, provided the macro doing the search has been
defined before processing (e.g., a file);
(iii) instead of using one macro for a substring test and another
one to replace the substring--which includes extracting
corresponding prefix and suffix--, the *same* macro that
detects the occurrence returns the split;
(iv) e-TeX is not required.
(And LaTeX is not required.) This improves `fifinddo.sty' (v0.51).
An elaborated approach (additionally to a simpler one) is provided
that does not loose outer braces of prefix/suffix.
Substring detection and string replacement are (implicitly)
included with respect to certain representations of characters by tokens.
Counting occurrences and global replacement could be achieved
by applying the operation to earlier results, etc.--so
this approach seems to be fundamental for a certain larger
set of list analysis tasks.
The documentation aims to prove the correctness of the methods
with mathematical rigour.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In mathematical texts that contain commutative diagrams created with PGF/TikZ,
it might be disturbing that regular arrows (such as
ightarrow) and the
PGF/TikZ arrows in the diagrams have different heads. This package defines
commands that draw arrows using PGF/TikZ. Using these instead of the regular
arrows makes your document look more consistent. Moreover, using PGF/TikZ, a lot
more different arrow types can be drawn.

nicefilelist
package.
Summary description: listfiles alignment for connoisseurs
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
While `longnamefilelist.sty' improves LaTeX's listfiles with respect
to long base filenames only, the present `nicefilelist.sty'
'nicefilelist.sty' can keep separate columns for
(i) date (ii) version, and (iii) caption
(don't write caption text in date column),
their alignment not being disturbed by short filename extensions
such as `.fd'. This is achieved basing on the `monofill' package.
Thus `nicefilelist' is more powerful than `longnamefilelist', the
former however is an extension of the latter neither with respect
to implementation nor with respect to user interface. See documentatin for details.
The shortcomings of `longnamefilelist' were pointed out by Martin Muench.

Summary description: Produce External Links Instead of Internal Ones
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PDF visualizer ISSUU (http://issuu.com) is a popular service
allowing to show PDF documents ``one page a time''. Due to the way
it is implemented, internal links in these documents are not
allowed. Instead, they must be converted to external ones in the
form http://issuu.com/action/page?page=PAGENUMBER.
This package patches hyperref to produce external links in the
required form instead of internal links created by
ef, cite and
other commands.
Since the package redefines the internals of hyperref, you need to
call it AFTER hyperref.
