Their speed and the sizes of the maximal allowable inputs have been increased. As I have little internet time during August, I decided not to wait before releasing the improved versions, although the previous release is only a week old. Also, xintbinhex.sty loads only xintkernel.sty, not xintcore.sty anymore as it has no more dependencies upon it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/xint The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Martin Ruckert submitted the web2w package. Version: 0.4 License: gpl3+ Summary description: Converting TeX from WEB to cweb Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains a project to convert the TeX source code written by Donald E. Knuth as a WEB into a cweb. A WEB is a literate program, that is a program which is written as a form of literature and consequently published as a book. Of course there is a way of converting such a piece of literature into an ordinary program: it contains Pascal code. Over the years, the support for Pascal as a major programming language decreased and Pascal was replaced by C as the system programming language of choice. Consequently, WEB was replaced by cweb, leading to the obvious question: can we convert the TeX source code to cweb. And the answer is: yes and no. No, because TeX is a rather large program, so it is very expensive to translate it manually, and translating literature by means of an automatic process is not feasible either. Yes, because the program contained in this project, a literate program itself, is specifically tailored to the TeX source code and achieves a good approximation to such a translation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/web2w The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/web/web2w/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version number: 3.3 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata is designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. As a result of some discussions with Niklas Beisert, version 3.3 of hyperxmp introduces two features: a new pdfsource option lets users override the use of the job name as the document source, and a new XMPLangAlt macro supports the inclusion of multilingual metadata. In addition, a few bugs have been fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.2l 2017-07-26 License type: lppl1.3c Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Maintenance release. - The underscore character _ is accepted by the xintexpr parsers as a digit separator. Example: xinttheiiexpr 123_456_789 * 1111_2222_3333 elax It is not allowed as _first_ character of a number, as it would then be mis-interpreted as the start of a possible variable name. Only expressions handle it (the space character can also separate digits there), not macros. The LaTeX package bnumexpr will also accept the underscore as digit separator in its upcoming release. - Some refactoring in xintcore for some small efficiency gains. - Some macros were not robust against arguments whose expansion looks forward for some termination (e.g. umbermathcode`-), and many more were broken if the inputs used a non-terminated umexpr, e.g. xintAdd{ he umexpr1}{2}. The user manual never said this was legal input, but it was slightly inconvenient. Most macros have now been made robust against such non properly terminated inputs. In expressions though, a umexpr swallowing the ending elax is definitely still to be avoided, as the parser absolutely needs to hit against such a token at some point. - A few minor bugfixes, see CHANGES.pdf or CHANGES.html for the details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
