On Fri, 16 Sep 2011 Maïeul Rouquette submitted an update to the
ledmac and ledpar
packages.
Summary description: Typeset scholarly editions in parallel texts.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In some languages, hanging indents of verses must start with a symbol. For
example, in the french typographie, the symbol is [.
This new version of ledmac and ledpar provides a method to insert it
automatically: The user has to redefine the macro hangingsymbol.
For example, in the case of the french typography, put this in your file :
enewcommand{hangingsymbol}{[,}.
Note that this new function was tested, but some bugs may still exist:
please provide feedback via github.

dejavu
package.
Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu.
Changes:
- Added extra kerning pairs between the Greek accents and the
capital Greek letters for the serif and sans serif
families (the monospaced family left unchanged). The
kerning values are generated from the fonts (sfd files)
and the combination accent + letter should give the
same relative position of accent and letter as in the
precomposed accented capital Greek letters. Most kerning
values are big negative, but there are also several
small positive values.
- Small changes in the LGR encoding: uni1FBD replaced by uni1FBF
and grave replaced by uni1FEF. They have exactly the same
glyph, but are more consistent with the Greek alphabet.
These should be user invisible changes.
