Bob Tennent submitted the clearsans package. Version date: 2014-03-16 License type: apache2 Summary description: Clear Sans fonts with LaTeX support Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Clear Sans was designed by Daniel Ratighan at Monotype under the direction of the User Experience team at Intel’s Open Source Technology Center. Clear Sans is available in three weights (regular, medium, and bold) with corresponding italics, plus light and thin upright (without italics).

Its strong, recognizable forms avoid distracting ambiguity, making Clear Sans comfortable for reading short UI labels and long passages in both screen and print. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/clearsans/ More information will appear later at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/clearsans We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Javier Bezos submitted an update to the babel package. Version number: 3.9i License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What's new ~~~~~~~~~~ - With LuaTeX, spaces are not ignored after shorthands and closing braces can follow them. - extlatin and friends are deprecated. For the logos (see below) a new macro is used if necessary (ensureascii), so extlatin is not used in the core any more. - abelensure can be used to wrap caption texts with foreignlanguage, as well as to enforce an encoding. - abeltags is just for syntactical sugar, and defines macros with short names to switch the language (eg, extdeu and deu). - Bug fixed -- The logos TeX and LaTeX were typeset in a wrong font in some cases. Now if a non-ASCII font is not loaded they are not redefined at all. - Partial compatibility with languages named as lang@ instead of l@ (plain etex/xetex/luatex). - Bug fixed -- bl@allowhyphens is now ignored in vertical mode. - Bug fixed -- Loops with @for failed in Plain. - Bug fixed -- A few codes in xetex where wrong when loading patterns. - Bug fixed -- With strings=encoded captions were left unchanged in MakeUppercase/MakeLowercase. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/babel/base More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/babel We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Clea F. Rees submitted an update to the cfr-lm package. Version number: 1.4 License type: lppl Summary description: Enhanced support for the Latin Modern fonts Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Adds experimental support for family-specific settings if microtype is used. More specifically, defines aliases for all roman and sans families, including quotation sans, which should load the settings defined for Computer Modern Roman. This follows the config for Latin Modern as far as roman is concerned. It extends the support so far as sans is concerned in accordance with the discussion at http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/75440/39222. I'm not sure I've done this correctly but I don't think it should break anything. (That is, I don't think the results will be worse than with version 1.3 and hope they will be better.) Should stuff break, the relevant code is in a block at the end of cfr-lm.sty so that it can be easily disabled. Should you find this fact to your advantage, do please let me know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/cfr-lm/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cfr-lm We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
