Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List
package.
Version: 16.0
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Symbols accessible from LaTeX
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List is a document that organizes over 25000 symbols accessible from
LaTeX by topic and package. The aim is to make it easy to find symbols and learn how to incorporate
them into a LaTeX document. An index further helps locate symbols of interest.
Much has changed since the last release of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List over two years ago.
Most notably, the list presents thousands of new symbols from a handful of additional packages.
Smaller improvements include refactoring a few tables into more meaningful pieces, updating a few
tables to cover recently added or renamed symbols, moving brand icons and logos into their own
chapter, and making numerous small improvements to the index to better categorize the symbols
appearing in the document. The accompanying SYMLIST text file now uses two columns to present a
mapping from user-visible control sequences to the document's internal representation.
While not visible to the reader of the Comprehensive LaTeX Symbol List, compilation has been sped up
immensely by leveraging the Ninja build system. The document builds with LuaLaTeX whereas previous
versions required pdfLaTeX. In fact, the companion Raw Font Tables document now requires LuaLaTeX,
which it exploits to show font tables for OpenType and TrueType fonts that define more than 256
characters.

### explcheck v0.19.1
#### Fixes
This version of explcheck has fixed the following problems:
- Fix malformed context for issue E505 (Calling an undefined function).
(reported by @muzimuzhi in #191, fixed in #193)
- Do not capture a newline after expl3-like material. (#193)
This excludes the newline from the context messages and byte ranges for
issues like E102 (Expl3 material in non-expl3 parts).
- Only put argument specifiers in the context of issue E201 (Unknown argument
specifiers), not the whole control sequence name. (#193)
This makes the context of issue E201 consistent with issue E427 (Comparison
conditional without signature `:nnTF`).
- Fix the context of issue W200 ("Do not use" argument specifiers) missing
characters when the name of the control sequence ends with double-superscript
characters, like `\tex_let:^^44`. (#193)
- Report resolved control sequence names (like `\tex_let:D`) instead of the raw
input text (like `\tex_let:^^44`) for issues W200 and W202 (Deprecated
control sequences). (#193)
- Fix an incorrect assertion in code that reports issues E500 (Multiply defined
function) and W501 (Multiply defined function variant). (reported by
@muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)
- Do not consider a definition being reached by itself a redefinition.
(reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)
This prevents false positive detections of the issues E500 and W501.
- Do not report issue E505 (Calling an undefined function) when calling empty
functions. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)
- Weaken the confidence of incoming reaching definitions when the in-degree is
greater than one. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #192, fixed in #194)
- Do not report issues for uninteresting macro-statements that are skipped
during flow analysis and therefore have incomplete or unreliable information
recorded. (#194)
- Only require definite reaching definitions for issues E500 and W501, not
issues E504 (Function variant for an undefined function), E506 (Indirect
function definition from an undefined function), and W507 (Setting a function
before definition). (#194)
#### Continuous integration
This version of explcheck has made the following changes to our continuous
integration:
- Check issue context in tests. (reported by @muzimuzhi in #191, added in #193)

Summary description: A ConTeXt LMTX introduction for Chinese users
Announcement text:

The following is mainly a correction of several writing errors in the
documentation, along with refinements to some previously hasty wording. The main
content remains largely unchanged.
The copyright of the documentation has been slightly modified, with some simple
clauses added to meet the Debian community's rigorous licensing requirements for
the TeXLive package.
A new chapter, chapter 17 — a brief introductory guide to TEX programming — has
been added. Originally, I planned to use it to demonstrate some applications of
TEX programming in typesetting, but after some attempts, I decided to keep it as
simple as possible, merely aiming to dispel fear of TEX programming.

Summary description: Configurable Sneakers with TikZ
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The 'sneaker' package provides a highly configurable TikZ pic to draw stylised sneakers in an isometric-like perspective.
The shoe can be extensively customised via a simple key–value interface. Features include adjustable colours for various components, shoelaces with a bow, velcro straps, metal eyelets, and decorative patterns such as a lightning bolt or a star. For more detailed illustrations, the package also offers options for dashed stitching lines and even rolling wheels to transform the sneaker into an inline skate.
What started as a small visual gimmick for the slides of my Bachelor’s thesis, a sneaker as a feature model to illustrate variability and configuration, gradually grew into something more elaborate that I decided to share with the community.

Summary description: Visually anchored margin notes with connector lines and dynamic placement
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
smartnotes is a light LaTeX package for margin notes whose main
idea is simple: place each note on the side of the page that gives
the shortest and clearest connector line.
Instead of always using a fixed margin, smartnotes chooses the left
or right margin dynamically from the note position in the text,
making annotations feel direct and visually tied to the exact place
they refer to.
The package also includes forced side placement, basic overlap avoidance,
two box shapes, and a convenient global disable option for draft workflows.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a simple package for generating exact wordcounts in LaTeX
projects. It counts words, storing the value in a standard LaTeX
counter, which can then be printed in the normal way. Word counting
can be paused and resumed, so you can skip certain environments like
mathematics, and multiple word counts can happen in parallel (you
could keep separate global and per-chapter counts, for example).
The word counting engine itself is pulled entirely from

Summary description: Automate compilation of large scale LaTeX projects
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We are proud to announce AutoLaTeX 50.1, a total re-implementation
in Python 3 of the original AutoLaTeX tool.
The previous Perl-based version is no longer maintained.
This new release delivers significantly improved stability,
performance, and cross-platform compatibility.
It introduces a suite of new command-line options and actions
that simplify project setup, figure management, and document
inspection. Whether you are handling a small paper or a large thesis.
AutoLaTeX 50.1 fixes the buggy automation of the entire workflow
(from translator-based figure generation to bibliography, index,
and glossary processing) without the issues reported in the
previous Perl version.

statementsp
package.
Version number: 1.0
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Theorem and proposition boxes with preview and recall
functions
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased to announce the release of a new package: statementsp.
statementsp is a LaTeX package that provides a convenient way to create highly
customizable theorem and proposition boxes using the tcolorbox package.
The standout feature of this package is its automatic "Preview" and "Recall"
mechanism. A single command (\refcallsp) allows authors to display a statement
box anywhere in the document. The package automatically detects whether the
command is placed before or after the main definition, generating a "Preview" or
"Recall" box respectively, complete with hyperlinks jumping directly back to the
original definition.
Key Features:
* Intuitive definition of custom environments (prefix, display name, box color, title color).
* Strictly sequential counters within a section across all statement types (e.g., Definition 1.1, Theorem 1.2, Lemma 1.3) to prevent numbering confusion.
* Support for unnumbered environments via the starred version (statementsp*).
* Dedicated referencing commands (\refsp and \refnamesp) for seamless citation of numbers and specific statement names.
License:
