Ben Vitecek submitted an update to the
cooking-units
package.
Version: 1.2 2017-10-23
License: lppl
Summary description: Typeset and convert units for cookery books and recipes
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The new version 1.20 includes several important changes:
-- The package 'translator' is being replaced by 'translations'.
-- This package now supports the usage of phrases
(the replacement of certain integers by words)
(which I think are called counting measures in English,
but I am not sure and went with phrases) which can be
activated by the option use-phrases.
-- If no translation is found for cutext and Cutext they
are automatically replaced by cunum.
-- A former version of this package introduced its own label & ref
system and allowed the main commands of this package to accept
labels via arrow brackets. This wasn't the best idea as it fails
if the arrow brackets are made active (by e.g. babel and option
spanish).
This version tries to fix it and as such the token < is not
allowed to be used as a special-sign anymore.
Minor changes (new options, units, etc.) are listed in the section
Change History.

amscls-doc
package.
Version: 2017-09-01
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: User documentation for AMS document classes
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This collection includes four user manuals, the AMS Author Handbooks,
each directed to the use of a particular AMS document class.
These manuals collectively form the user documentation for the
amscls macro bundle (found in the LaTeX required area).
The manuals are compiled from source files that minimize duplication
of common information and tailor class-specific material through the
use of switches and some additional source files.
The motivation for this structure and instructions for compiling such
a multi-sourced collection are detailed in the auxiliary manual
ams-author-handbook-doc; this collection might serve as a model for
other multi-targeted documentation projects.

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
etoc
package.
Version: 1.08k 2017-09-28
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Completely customisable TOCs
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- adds `etocsetlocaltop.toc`. See corresponding manual section
for details.
- adds `etocsavedparttocline`, `etocsavedchaptertocline`,
`etocsavedsectiontocline`, ... They can be used in the context
of the technique explained in section Another compatibility mode.
- formerly, etoc redefined for the duration of the TOC the memoir
macro `chapternumberline` and its likes to have same meaning as
`
umberline` (of course, not when executed in compatibility mode),
for the sake of extraction of `etocnumber`. New method detects
presence of any `<foo>numberline` macro without any change to
originals; they can thus be used as is when applying the approach
of Another compatibility mode section from manual.
