Jean-François Burnol submitted the polexpr package. Version number: 0.1 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Provides a parser for polynomial expressions Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This LaTeX package provides poldef: a parser of polynomial expressions based upon the xintdeffunc mechanism of package xintexpr. The syntax is poldef <name>(x):=<expression in variable x>; where in place of x an arbitrary letter is authorized. The expression uses the operations of algebra (including composition of functions) with standard operators, fractional numbers (possibly in scientific notation) and previously defined polynomial functions or other constructs as recognized by the xintexpr numerical parser. The so-defined name() xintexpr-function is also known to the package via its polynomial coefficients, thus allowing dedicated macros to implement polynomial algorithmics. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/polexpr The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/polexpr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Nonavailability of services next Tuesday (2018-01-16)
by CTAN Announcements 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hi, ---------------- Deutsch kommt unten. >From 2018-01-16 21:00 CET (that's next Tuesday evening in Europe) to 2018-01-17 09:00 CET (that's Wednesday morning in Europe) DANTE's server comedy will be rebooted several times. This will lead to interruption and maybe non-availability of several services (Web-Sites for CTAN/LaTeX/DANTE, CTAN, mailing lists, etc.) in that time span. It's extremely unlikely that the services won't come up automatically afterwards. Nevertheless, if that'll be the case, it might be noon until I'll find the time to care for it. And now the same in German: Zwischen dem 16.01. 21:00 Uhr (d.i. nächster Dienstag abend) und dem 17.01. 09:00 Uhr (d.i. nächster Mittwoch vormittag) wird der DANTE-Server mehrfach gebootet. Deshalb werden die Services (Web-Server, CTAN, Mailing-Listen, Email, etc.) in dieser Zeit immer wieder mal nicht verfügbar sein. Sollte beim Hochfahren was schief gehen, kann es auch bis Mittwoch mittag dauern, bis alle Services wieder laufen. Das ist aber extrem unwahrscheinlich. Cheers, Joachim -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Joachim Schrod Email: jschrod(a)acm.org DANTE Server Administration

(#411). * BUGS * LuaTeX bug with shifted `underbrace` when it contains accented symbols worked around (#391). * When using the `range` feature, users commonly found they needed to call `setmathfont` a final time with the original font to ensure correct formatting and correct selection of symbol alphabets. I hope the issues that required this have now been corrected (#331, #387). * If `setmathfont` is called a second time in a document, it tries harder to more properly reset the maths font setup for the new font (#224). * Properly hard-coded the `delcode` of the period to ensure `left`/` ight` behave correctly in all circumstances (#344, #351, #420). * Correct `mathrm` (etc.) situation when no fonts loaded explicitly by the user (#330). * Various bug fixes to ` ot` (#126, #343, #363) * `std@minus` & `std@equal` now properly corrected (#332). * Fix problem with infinite loop with `cdots` when `amsmath` loaded after `unicode-math` (#227). * If `setmath(rm|sf|tt)` is called *before* loading `unicode-math`, the setting is now remembered (#407). * INTERNALS * A number of improvements to efficiency when loading subsequent math fonts using the `range` feature. * No longer loads the `ucharcat` package. * Test suite re-implemented for better portability and use with Travis CI. See <https://travis-ci.org/wspr/unicode-math> for the up-to-date status of whether the test suite is passing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
