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. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

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.

Announcement text:

KeTCindy combines a plugin to Cinderella with free mathematical software

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.

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.

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.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
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.

Summary description: Approximate smooth function graphs with cubic bezier splines for use with TikZ or MetaPost
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Three bugs have been removed:
x^4+1 did not work because the function do_parameters_fit did
not check the parameters for being not nan nor huge nor -huge
x^6+1 did not work because the numerical derivative 0 led to several
local extrema just next to each other
empty graphs should now not throw any errors anymore
New feature: xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax may now be computable expressions,
hence you can type now
bezierplot sin(x) -pi pi -3*7 2*e+1

Takuto Asakura submitted an update to the
texdoc
package.
Version number: 3.0
License type: gpl
Summary description: Documentation access for TeX Live
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a big update for Texdoc since 2012!
There are two big features in Texdoc 3.0.
1. New option parser
Now, you can specify multiple options like:
$ texdoc -vsl foo
(this is equivalent to specifying -v -s -l)
Please note that the behavior of the short option -d have
been changed. It *requires* an argument without =, e.g.:
$ texdoc -d score bar
(this is equivalent to specifying --debug=score)
We added a new option -D as a short version of --debug=all.
Please see the help text for more details.
2. Fuzzy search
When the normal search can't find any document in TeX Live,
Texdoc will execute fuzzy search on the list of package names
without user-interactions. The results of fuzzy search are
shown by info message.
(you can see that with the command line option -v)
The default allowance of Levenshtein distance is 5.
You can change this default value by specifying fuzzy_level
in your texdoc.cnf:
fuzzy_level = 3
If fuzzy_level set to 0, the feature will be disabled.
This update also contains several small bug fixes and improvements.
For the quick understanding of the new functions, the slide I used
for a talk in BachoTeX 2018 is available from Speaker Deck:
https://speakerdeck.com/wtsnjp/texdoc3
One more thing (IMPORTANT for distributors): from v3.0, we won't
include Data.tlpdb.lua (the pseudo cache file) in our repository.
If your distribution do not ship the tlpdb, you have to pre-generate
the pseudo cache file to make Texdoc workable.
