Geoffrey Poore submitted an update to the
pythontex
package.
Version number: 0.12
License type: lppl
Description:
The package allows you to enter Python code within a LaTeX
document, execute the code, and access its output in the
original document. The Ruby and Julia languages are also
supported. Code is only executed when it has been modified, or
when it meets user-specified criteria. Code may be divided
into user-defined sessions, which automatically run in
parallel. Errors and warnings are synchronized with the LaTeX
document, so that they refer to the document's line numbers.
External dependencies can be tracked, so that code is
re-executed when the data it depends on is modified. The
package also provides syntax highlighting for code in LaTeX
documents via the Pygments syntax highlighter. The package
provides a depythontex utility that creates a copy of the
document in which all code has been replaced by its output.
This is useful for journal submissions, sharing documents, and
conversion to other formats.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.6 [2013/09/07]
This version of biblatex-dw was tested with biblatex 2.7a and biber 1.7.
- New option addyear (authortitle-dw only): If set to true, the year of the
publication will be added after the title in citations. The year appears in
parentheses. The default for this option is false.
- BUGFIX: If a title ended with a question mark or an exclamation mark, the
seenote string in footnote-dw was capitalised. This has been fixed.
- BUGFIX: There was a problem with @inbook entries in the bibliography when
using xref=true (the author of the book entry was not always shown). This is
now fixed.
- BUGFIX: Using annotation=true and/or library=true lead to a superfluous
linebreak and dot in those entries which held an annotation and/or library.

esetMathstrut@ is replaced only when
strictly necessary (i.e. if the user makes the parentheses
mathematically active via MTnonlettersobeymathxx).

Name of contribution: selnolig

Package version: 0.256
Location on CTAN: macros/luatex/latex/selnolig/
Summary description: The package suppresses typographic ligatures
selectively, i.e., based on predefined search patterns. The search
patterns focus on ligatures deemed inappropriate because they span
morpheme boundaries. For example, the word shelfful, which is mentioned
in the TeXbook as a word for which the ff ligature might be
inappropriate, is automatically typeset as shelf/ful rather than as
shel{ff}ul. For English and German language documents, the package
provides extensive rules for the selective suppression of so-called
“common” ligatures. These comprise the ff, fi, fl, ffi, and ffl
ligatures as well as the ft and fft ligatures. Other f-ligatures, such
as fb, fh, fj and fk, are suppressed globally, while exceptions are made
for names and words of non-English/German origin, such as Kafka and
fjord. For English language documents, the package further provides
ligature suppression macros for a number of ! so-called “discretionary”
or “rare” ligatures such as ct, st, and sp. The package requires use of
a recent LuaLaTeX format (for example TeXLive2012 or 2013, or
MiKTeX2.9).
License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Updated rules for st and sp ligatures in composite words consisting of
prefix ending in s (such as mis, dis, and trans) and a main word
(free morpheme) starting with st or sp.
- In Appendix F (case studies of selnolig applied to various pieces of
literature), added tallies of words that that get their ligatures
suppressed for Faust 1 and Faust 2
- Shortened some sections of the user guide and expanded
others. There's now a (reasonably careful) discussion of why morpheme
boundaries rather than syllable boundaries matter for ligature
suppression purposes.
