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.

The command MTsetmathskips from recent release 1.3 is more
flexible (e.g. for use in an @for loop): its first argument
may be a macro (or any expandable code) giving the letter.
The amsmath macro
esetMathstrut@ is replaced only when
strictly necessary (i.e. if the user makes the parentheses
mathematically active via MTnonlettersobeymathxx).
Again some improvements in the documentation.

Summary description: There are a number of symbols (e.g.,
Square) that are defined by several packages. In order to
typeset all the variants in a document, we have to give the
glyph a unique name. To do that, we define savesymbol{XXX},
which renames a symbol from XXX to origXXX, and
estoresymbols{yyy}{XXX}, which renames origXXX back to XXX
and defines a new command, yyyXXX, which corresponds to the
most recently loaded version of XXX.

quoth the daemon:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: selnolig
Author's name: Mico Loretan
Author's email: loretan.mico(a)gmail.com
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.

I started writing this package about a decade ago. I shared it

on github: https://github.com/drayside/graphviz.sty
New features: allows blank lines inside the graphs; can
(optionally) write generated files to a tmp directory; can
(optionally) reduce the number of file handles used by writing
to a master file; support for both PS and PDF; support for both
dot and neato.
