Summary description: Write differential coefficients easily
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abstract diffcoeff.sty allows the easy and consistent writing of ordinary, partial and other derivatives of arbitrary
(algebraic or numeric) order. For mixed partial derivatives, the total order of differentiation is calculated by the
package. Optional arguments allow specification of points of evaluation (ordinary derivatives), or variables held
constant (partial derivatives), and the placement of the differentiand (numerator or appended). Version 2 is built on
xtemplate, allowing the systematic fine-tuning of the display and generation and use of variant forms (like derivatives
built from D, Delta or delta). The package requires the LaTeX3 bundles l3kernel and l3packages.

Summary description: Make a Cookbook
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The makecookbook bundle contains the files needed to create a cookbook.
Modifiable choices have been made regarding standard book features such
as trim size, margins, headers/footers, etc. Commands and environments
have been created to format the food stories and recipes. The user will
need to: (1) supply their own food stories and recipes(!), and (2)
install the needed fonts. We assume a LuaTex compile. Please note that
no new document class or package is included here. Rather, we provide a
modifiable preamble and a small number of other files that, together,
support creation of a cookbook.

Version number: 1.8 2018-11-30
License type: gpl3+
Summary description: Command line application to convert .bib files to glossaries-extra.sty resource files
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- new resource options:
--save-primary-locations
--primary-location-formats
--long-case-change
--dual-long-case-change
--word-boundaries
--sort-label-list
--dependency-fields
- added support for the new glossaries-extra package option
record=nameref (introduced to glossaries-extra v1.37).
- normal locations are now written to the location field as
glsnoidxdisplayloc{<prefix>}{<counter>}{<format>}{<location>}
instead of explicitly using
setentrycounter[<prefix>]{<counter>}<format>{<location>}
This matches the way the record is added to the loclist field
and makes it easier to adjust the record formatting.
- bib2gls now always parses the .log file even if the interpreter
setting is off. (It still needs to know version details and
whether hyperlinks and Unicode are supported by the document.)
- Underscores now allowed in bib labels.
- Hooks added to pick up label prefixes if needed:
ibglsprimaryprefixlabel
ibglsdualprefixlabel
ibglstertiaryprefixlabel
ibglsexternalprefixlabel
- bug fix: corrected default sort=doc
- bug fix: corrected letternumber-upperlower and
letternumber-lowerupper sort methods.
- bug fix: corrected invalid datetime pattern that threw
InvalidArgumentException
- bug fix: https://github.com/nlct/bib2gls/issues/3
Files located in local texmf path are not determined correctly
on Windows.
(actual bug was in texparserlib.jar rather than bib2gls.jar)
- @glsnavhypertarget will now fallback on original definition
(which requires an extra LaTeX call) if the type is unknown.
- Renamed example file sample-languages.tex to
sample-markuplanguages.tex

Summary description: BibLaTeX bibliography support for publication lists
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* V. 1.13 (2018-11-30):
This release fixes some long-standing issues with sorting and
extralabel assignment in plauthorhandling=omit with differing
co-authors.
NOTE: this changes the output (to the better) order with
plauthorhandling=omit.
CHANGES:
- Introduce new sorting templates that ignore names.
- Use ydt tempate by default (CHANGE OF OUTPUT!)
- Assign extralabel independent of author group with
plauthorhandling=omit. This is done by inserting a constant dummy
shortauthor. Note that this only works if no shortauthor is defined.

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
hyperxmp
package.
Version number: 3.5
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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: authors, base URL, contact telephone
number/postal address/email address/URL, copyright statement, creation
date, document identifier, document instance identifier, document type,
file format, keywords, language, LaTeX file name, license URL, metadata
writer, PDF version, PDF-generating tool, PDF/A compliance level and
version, primary author's position or title, subject/summary, and title.
hyperxmp is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm,
xelatex, and lualatex.
Version 3.5 of hyperxmp gives the user the ability to explicitly specify a
UUID for the document rather than let hyperxmp generate it randomly.

Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the
animate
package.
Version number: 2018-11-20
License type: lppl
Summary description: Create PDF and SVG animations from graphics files and inline graphics
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update of the `animate' package adds support for Martin Gieseking's `dvisvgm' output driver. Now, it is possible
to create self-contained, animated SVG files, that run in all modern Web browsers as stand-alone files or as embedded
objects in Web pages (by means of the <object> HTML tag). Such SVG animations have the same look and usability,
including optional controls, as if they were embedded in PDF.
Since `dvisvgm' is linked against Ghostscript, it is able to parse and convert embedded Postscript to inline SVG code.
Therefore, it is mostly compatible with the popular TikZ and PSTricks packages, which can be used to create animated
content.
Intermediate DVI and XDV, to be used as input for `dvisvgm' can be generated using `latex', `lualatex' in dvi mode,
platex or xelatex (with option `-no-pdf'). ----------------------------------------------------------------------
