Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
## v2.7f (2020/01/09)
* Rename font feature `Letters=Uppercase` to `Style=Uppercase`, as this feature does
not generally affect the letters themselves, only symbols and accents.
The old name will be retained for the time being.
* Rename `Style=TitlingCaps` to `Style=Titling`.
* Track changes in both LaTeX2e and `expl3`.
* Fix long-standing (but never noticed?) bug that successive `addfontfeatures`
would overwrite previous ones when using `UprightFeatures={...}` or similar.
Now the ‘`UprightFeatures`’ are accumulated.
* Remove AAT font examples from the documentation — support for many AAT fonts now
appears broken with latest versions of macOS.

Summary description: Assessment based on AcroTeX quizzes
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
WARNING: Adobe Acrobat DC or Adobe Acrobat XI is required for
post PDF-creation. Any PDF-creator application is supported.
This package implements an idea by Thorsten G. for assessment
using PDF quizzes produced by the exerquiz package.
Thorsten not only wanted to pose multiple choice, multiple
selection, and fill-in type questions, but also wanted to ask
extended response questions that would be manually evaluated.
Once the quiz is graded, the instructor may optionally pass
the quizzes through an Acrobat action sequence to extract
the student's name and grade from the quizzes. The extracted
information is saved to a tab-delimited TXT file. The instructor
can later merge this file into a larger spreadsheet.
If intriguing, install thorshammer and try this workflow.

Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A hyperbola(point F1, point F2, point M) function was added to the
geometry module. Duplicate intersections are avoided. Errors in the
texpreamble are handled gracefully, without hanging. Unwanted indentation
under LuaLaTex was removed. The WebGL canvas is populated with the design
width and height. The WebGL context is stored in the top rather than
parent window. To avoid polling, WebGL images now draw directly.
Zooming of embedded WebGL images is disabled until activated with a click
or touch event, using ESC to cancel activation. WebGL usage comments now
suggest embedding as an iframe rather than an object. The obsolete grffile
package is no longer used. Typos in the documentation were fixed.
