Summary description: Convert LaTeX source to Braille with math in Nemeth
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After many failed attempts to transcribe real math notes and
books to Braille/Nemeth in order to deal with a real situation
(blind student in Math Dept.) we decided to develop a new program
that follows a direct, from LaTeX to Braille/Nemeth, approach.
Other attempts (such as tex4ht) failed because they all needed
an extra step to go from xml to Braille and this step (say, with
liblouis) produced incomprehensible output (liblouis focuses in
Office apps).
Our main target was the Greek language which is only Braille level 1,
but English at level 1 is also supported. Simple pictures in pstricks
are also supported in order to produce tactile graphics with specialized
equipment.
The README file contains documentation and links to the project
pages. License is GPL3 or newer.
At the moment this is the only project we are aware of that
has published real Math University Notes and Books in Braille.
Check http://myria.math.aegean.gr/labs/dt/braille/index-en.html
Embossing needs LibreOffice and odt2braille so that we do not need
to deal with embossers' drivers.

Masamichi Hosoda submitted the
extractpdfmark
package.
Version: 1.0.0
License: gpl3
Summary description: Extract page mode and named destinations as PDFmark from PDF
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If you create a PDF document by something like TeX systems, many small
PDFs as figures get included into the main PDF. It is common for each
small PDF to use the same fonts.
If the small PDFs are embedded subsetted fonts, the TeX system includes
them as-is for the main PDF. As a result, the main PDF is embedded
different subsets of the same duplicate font. It is not possible to
remove the duplicates since they are different subsets. It enormously
increases the main PDF file size.
On the other hand, if the small PDFs are embedded full set fonts,
the TeX system also includes all of them for the main PDF.
The main PDF is embedded many duplicate fonts, but they are
all same full set fonts. Therefore, Ghostscript can remove
the duplicates. It can reduce the main PDF files size.
Moreover, if the small PDFs are not embedded any fonts, the
TeX system outputs the main PDF which lacks some fonts.
In this case, Ghostscript can embed the necessary fonts.
It can significantly reduce the required disk size.
Either way, Ghostscript inputs the main PDF which is outputted
by the TeX system, and outputs the final PDF. Unfortunately,
during this process, Ghostscript does not preserve PDF page-mode
and named-destinations etc. As a result, when you open the final
PDF, it cannot realize the intended how the document shall be
displayed. Remote PDF links also do not work.
Extract PDFmark can extract page mode and named destinations as
PDFmark from PDF. You can get the small PDF that has preserved
them by using this tool.

- New command TrackLocale{POSIX locale}
and TrackLanguageTag{BCP47 language tag}
- New command TrackLangFromEnv. (Queries locale environment
variable using TrackLangQueryEnv and, if successful,
then parses and tracks the dialect. Also sets
TrackLangEnvLang, TrackLangEnvTerritory,
TrackLangEnvCodeSet and TrackLangEnvModifier.)
- New command TrackLangQueryEnv (queries the environment
variables LC_ALL or LANG, if shell escape or directlua
available, and sets TrackLangEnv)
- New command TrackLangQueryOtherEnv (like the above
but queries an extra environment variable)
- New command TrackLangParseFromEnv (parses TrackLangEnv,
if defined and not empty, and sets TrackLangEnvLang,
TrackLangEnvTerritory, TrackLangEnvCodeSet and
TrackLangEnvModifier)
- Many other new commands. See Changes section of manual.
- New language and dialect options
- Bug fix: corrected ISO 639-1 language code in usorbian

Summary description: Typeset matrices and arrays with spaces and
semicolons as delimiters.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of this package is to decrease the number of keystrokes
needed to typeset small amounts of aligned material (matrices, arrays,
etc.). It provides a facility for typing alignment environments and
macros with spaces as the alignment delimiter and semicolons (by
default) as the end-of-row indicator. For instance, typeset a matrix
using spalignmat{1 12 -3; 24 -2 2; 0 0 1}, or a vector using
spalignvector{22 frac{1}{2} -14}.
This package also contains utility macros for typesetting augmented
matrices, vectors, arrays, systems of equations, and more, and is
easily extendable to other situations that use alignments.
People who have to typeset a large number of matrices (like linear
algebra teachers) should find this package to be a real time saver.

License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: hyperref aware footnote.sty
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
bugfix 1: the footnote environment provided by footnote.sty
(which allows verbatim material) was made hyperref aware in a
previous release; but this was done in a way which made it
unreactive to the savenotes/spewnotes mechanism ...
bugfix 2: the footnote environment of footnote.sty raises an
error when used with an optional argument, but I was not aware
of that.
This update fixes these bugs and makes both the footnote and
footnotetext environments fully functional, in an hyperref aware
way.
Note 1: auxiliary macros for these environments are inherited
from footnote.sty but their construction there is susceptible to
fail as soon as @makefntext has been modified by some package
in any significant way.
Note 2: hyperref does not create hyperlinks in the case of a
footnotemark[N] followed by a footnotetext[N]{foo}. This fact,
which applies also to the case of a footnotetext environment
with the optional argument is _not_ changed by the package.

eulerpx
package.
Version: 0.1 2016-10-01
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: A modern interface for the Euler math fonts
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides the `eulerpx' font, which
started as a hybrid of multiple other font packages,
notably eulervm and newpxmath. Its purpose is twofold:
(1) To use the eulervm symbols for greek and latin,
but the newpxmath font for braces and brackets,
and the text font for digits and operators;
(2) To make it easy to change between a sans and
serif font for the digits and operators, so
that the font can be used seamlessly in
documents using both.
This package was put together with the intent to use
it with the Palatino and Optima fonts (newpxtext and
classico), but may work with other combinations too.
To use the package, add this to your preamble:
usepackage{eulerpx}
You may use the sfmath and
mmath macros to switch
between serif and sans fonts for the digits and
operators. For instance, if you use a KOMA-Script
class, you can put the following in your preamble
to switch all footnotes to a sans font:
addtokomafont{footnote}{sffamilysfmath}
Note that in contrast to the eulervm package, bold
math characters are accessed through the mathbf
macro. If the option `utf8' is provided, the package
will also declare the Greek unicode range; i.e., if
the package is included with
usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[utf8]{eulerpx}
then you may write your equations in the form
$α+β$ instead of $alpha+eta$.

This fixes an issue dating back to 1.08e-2015/04/17: under
etocchecksemptiness regime, some circumstances (such as adding
to an already compiled document a localtableofcontents before
the main ableofcontents) created an Undefined control
sequence Etoc@localtop error. Thanks to Denis Bitouzé for
reporting the problem.
A rather more exotic issue was fixed: the emptiness check for
local tocs could get confused if the tocdepth counter was
varying in some specific ways from inside the toc file.
