package.
Summary description: typeset acronyms
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- new option `sort' to printacronyms
- renamed options `print-acronyms/header' and `list-header'
into `print-acronyms/heading' and `list-heading';
the old keys will still work but also issue a warning
- new key `foreign' for acronyms in other languages than
the document language
- the page-recording and printing mechanism for the page
numbers of the acronyms in the list has been rewritten
from scratch. The previous one had a fundamental flaw:
it didn't take the fact into account that page numbers
are stepped at shipout. This is fixed now.
- options `page-ranges' and `record-pages' are deprecated
- new options `following-page' and `following-pages'

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts DVI files to SVG.
The recent release 1.2.2 is a bugfix release with the following most important changes:
- A bug that prevented the lookup of font map files has been fixed.
- Builds for MiKTeX now print a warning message rather than aborting with an exception if MiKTeX isn't installed.
- dvisvgm prints a warning message if PostScript specials were found but ignored because Ghostscript is unavailable.

pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project page

xint
package.
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.04 of xint (2013/04/25)
This release has some bug fixes, important improvements in the
xintseries package and its documentation, and a new component
xintcfrac.sty devoted to continued fractions.
1. bug fixes: xintIrr {0} was a bad one. Apart from that,
there were some inaccuracies in the documentation.
2. the base package xint has new commands to help deal in an
expandable way with token lists produced by some of the bundle
macros. Also, the division routine is a bit faster, and a
rounding macro has been added to the xintfrac package.
3. xintseries: a new implementation of xintPowerSeries, based
on a Horner scheme, has greatly reduced a problem of denominator
build-up. Also, the package has new macros, among them
xintRationalSeries is for computing partial sums with general
term F(n) where F is a rational function and the macro is given
the n->F(n)/F(n-1) function. This is especially designed for
series of the exponential type, again to avoid a denominator
build-up which made xintSeries and xintPowerSeries inefficient
in such situations. The documentation has been correspondingly
extended.
4. xintcfrac: this is a new package to deal with matters of
continued fractions. For example xintCFrac is like amsmath
cfrac apart from a little detail: it first computes the
continued fraction corresponding to a given fractional number!
(and then feeds cfrac with it; almost all package macros only
deal with computations, not typesetting). The package includes
commodities to specify the coefficients of the (possibly
generalized) continued fraction as function of the index, to
compute simple and centered continued fractions, to return the
list of all convergents, etc...
The xint.dtx source file self-extracts packages xint.sty,
xintgcd.sty, xintfrac.sty, xintseries.sty and xintcfrac.sty (as
well as xint.ins).

The purpose of the package is to insert nonbreakable spaces (in Czech vlna or

while TeXing the document. The macros recognise math and verbatim by TeX means.
Inserting nonbreakable spaces by a preprocessor may never be fully reliable
because user defined macros and environments cannot be recognised. It can be
used by both XeLaTeX and plain XeTeX.

Plotting numeric data is a task which often has to be done for scientific
papers. In LaTeX, however, it is only possible to include graphics created with
an external program. The pstricks-packages provide many commands to generate
graphics in LaTeX. To generate simple graphics from numeric data, however, it is
difficult to use. This package provides a simpler interface for the
pstricks-package to plot numeric data.
The implementation of the distance between axes and Labels/TickLabels was
changed completely. The Options xLabelSep, yLabelSep and LabelBP have been
replaced. Please see documentation.
Many improvements to the code and the documentation.
