axessibility
package.
Version number: 1.0
License type: cc-by-nc-4
Summary description: Access to formulas in PDF files by by assistive
technologies
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We propose the axessibility package. PDF documents containing formulae
generated by LaTeX are usually not accessible by assistive technologies
for visually impaired people (i.e., by screen readers and braille
displays). The axessibility package manages this issue, allowing to create
a PDF document where the formulae are read by these assistive
technologies, since it automatically generates hidden comments in the PDF
document (by means of the /ActualText attribute) in correspondence to each
formula.

Version number: 2018-07-03
License type: pd
Summary description: Unofficial reference manual covering LaTeX2e
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We have updated the unofficial LaTeX2e reference manual.
There are many changes in this version. We have gone through the two
documents latex-info and latex2e-reference and made sure that this
document contains all the information about user-level commands that
those documents contain. There have also been other changes,
including switching to a single unified index, a more uniform entry
format, and many more examples and error messages. There are a number
of entirely new entries such as ones on strut, caligraphic math
fonts, oldmath, and blackboard bold. There have also been
adjustments to the organization such as having separate sections for
part, chapter, etc., and some combinations such as that of
clearpage and cleardoublepage.
In addition, there were many bug fixes, including greatly shrinking
the size of one of the graphics.
The English version and the French version track closely, although
they are separate projects on CTAN. The Spanish version needs
a maintainer.
Suggestions, bug reports, all discussion and contributions are welcome.

etc.) is https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/software/latexrefman/.

Short description: Create a cross-document bookmark tree.
The package defines the concept of a document bundle, which is a
collection of documents that are to be build separately, but have a
common bookmark tree.
This package takes the bookmarks of each file in doc bundle and merges
them. The merged bookmarks are listed in all the documents of the
document bundle. In this way, a sort of 'table of contents' is
available to all documents in the bundle.
PDF Creator: no restrictions, use dvips->distiller|ps2pdf, pdflatex,
lualatex, or xelatex.
What's New (2018/06/25) Defined new commands for creating bookmarks for
which arbitrary actions, color and style can be applied. These commands
build on hyperref's bookmark commands.

Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
arabluatex v1.12:
This release includes many long-awaited features. Actually, arabluatex is getting close to v2.0:
- abjad now accepts commands and counters as arguments, so that almost anything can be abjad-numbered: pages, lists,
&c.
- Introduction of LPeg patterns, making it possible to accept almost any LaTeX command in Arabic environments. Regular
footnotes and LR/LRfootnotes have been extensively tested, along with those of packages such as manyfoot.
- Much more tolerant MkArbBreak and new MkArbBreak* which directs arabluatex to close the current Arabic environment
before any 'declared' command, then resume it just after (to be used with great caution though).
- Color support! arabluatex is now able to render in color either words, parts of words (syllabes) or even diacritics
without losing any of the refined ligatures featured by such beautiful Arabic fonts as Amiri. Section 7 of the
documentation goes into details, although some of the techniques implemented require a good acquaintance with arabtex
coding. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

gatherenum
package.
Version: 1.7 2018-06-19
License: gpl3+
Summary description: A crossover of align* and enumerate
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The gatherenum package (ab)uses the inline enumeration capabilities of
enumitem to add a « displayed » enumeration mode, triggered by adding
|gathered| to the key-val option list of the enumerate environment.
The end result is similar to a regular enumerate environment wrapped
in a multicols environment, with the following advantages:
* gathered enumerate can pack items depending on their actual width
rather than a fixed, constant number per line.
* it fills items in a line-major order (instead of column-major order),
which my students found less confusing.
YMMV.

Summary description: Creating graphics for TeX using Cinderella
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KeTCindy combines a plugin to Cinderella with free mathematical software
(R, Maxima, ...) to produce high-quality LaTeX graphics.
Using Cinderella to generate graphics in an interactive environment, the
generated image can be fine-tuned using KeTCindy commands embedded into
CindyScript, the scripting language of Cinderella. KeTCindy can be regarded
as a prominent scheme to establish an effective linkage between visualization
tools and editing tools. Moreover, KeTCindy enables the importation of data
calculated or simulated using other mathematical software such as Maxima,
Fricas, Risa/Asir and R, and to combine them with the graphical data, so that
an extremely wide range of mathematical objects can be presented.

xintdefvar foo = expression;
are now accepted, and in the former case the colon may have any

and variants.
- due to some work commit which made it to 1.3 release, xintfrac.sty

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
l3kernel Release 2018-06-14
===========================
This release introduces a new argument specifier, e. This carries out expansion as message does, but is itself
expandable. At present, this is available as a primitive only in LuaTeX (expanded), but the team expect this to be
added to other engines shortly (the changes have been made to pdfTeX and (u)pTeX in the TeX Live sources). Emulation of
this primitive is also available, meaning that e-type expansion can be used with all engines *now*, though it is *slow*
in emulation mode.
At present, the e-type argument is restricted to exp_args:Ne and similar functions. Where appropriate, some functions
will be renamed to reflect the new type. The team do not expect to use e-type expansion widely until expanded is
available to the majority of users. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Summary description: Create a cross-document bookmark tree
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package defines the concept of a document bundle, which
is a collection of documents that are to be built separately,
but have a common bookmark tree.
This package takes the bookmarks of each file in doc bundle and
merges them. The merged bookmarks are listed in all the documents
of the document bundle. In this way, a sort of 'table of contents'
is available to all documents in the bundle.
PDF Creator: no restrictions, use dvips->distiller|ps2pdf, pdflatex,
lualatex, or xelatex.
What's New (2018/06/13): Corrected a misspelling in the
driver specification for pdfmark. Now allow the docbundle key
to be empty or missing; in this case, we set docbundle=jobname.
Bookmarks are generated for that document alone, as an extra benefit,
the keys colors and style are still obeyed.

Version number: 1.0

Summary description: Accept CSS-like selectors in tabular, array, …
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The cellprops package reworks the internals of tabular, array, and similar
constructs, and adds a cellprops command accepting CSS-like selectors and
properties. It depends on mdwtab, xcolor and of course expl3 and xparse.
You can use most constructs of mdwtab, but some too hackish usage might
alter the function of cellprops. cellprops uses at most as possible the
public facilites of mdwtab and should thus work with several of table
packages.
It has been tested compatible with several packages (diagbox,
collcell,...), and special care has been taken so that it is compatible
with longtable.
