Summary description: sidenote support for LaTeX 2e
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This has just been an exercise on a lazy afternoon. Well, more or less at least.
Since there already is Andy Thomas' `sidenotes' package
(mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sidenotes) there is probably no real need
for `snotez'. Moreover, the tufte classes
(mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tufte-latex) as well as the memoir class
(mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir) also provide corresponding
mechansims. Besides the fun I had my motivation was also based on the fact that
I didn't like some smaller things (_not_ bugs) done by the `sidenotes' package
such as inserting kerns and superscripted commas for multiple marks. I prefer to
let my `fnpct' package handle these things. Anyways, here it is and it seems to
be working as intended so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be available to
others for use.

Announcement text:

Since version 1.2 the binaries for several platforms are optional. The perl
implementation of splitindex is still the primary one. It is recommended to use
this, if perl is available. But there's a new TeXLua implementation of
splitindex, splitindex.tlu and splitindex_main.tlu, that may be used, if perl is
not available. Note, that splitindex.tlu is only a wrapper to
splitindex_main.tlu, that makes it easier to install new version of splitindex
in TEXMFLOCAL or TEXMFHOME.
Michael Palmer has improved the English user manual of splitidx and splitindex.

Writing lists in LaTeX is always a bit annoying.
You have to put several egin{list} end{list} in your list environment to go a step deeper.

egin{enumerate}
item 1
egin{enumerate}
item 2
egin{enumerate}
item 3
egin{enumerate}
item 4
end{enumerate}
end{enumerate}
item 2.1
end{enumerate}
item 1.1
egin{enumerate}
item 2
end{enumerate}
end{enumerate}
you can just write this using the 'iitem' package:
egin{enumerate}
item 1
iitem 2
iiitem 3
ivtem 4
iitem 2.1
item 1.1
iitem 2

Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers

The xint package implements with expandable TeX macros the basic
arithmetic operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication
and division, as applied to arbitrarily long numbers represented
as chains of digits with an optional minus sign.
The xintgcd package provides implementations of the Euclidean
algorithm and of its typesetting.
The packages may be used with Plain and with LaTeX.

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
dashrule
package.
Summary description: Draw dashed rules
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of
dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a
command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's
ule
and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws
horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as
ule,
but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that
specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between
those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed
internally using
ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript
specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX
back-end processor.
Version 1.3 fixes a small bug that introduced spurious
spaces into the output.

Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Babel 3.9b version fixes lots of bugs and adds some new features (intended
mainly to make it compatible with Unicode engines). Some bugs have not been
fixed to avoid backward incompatibilities, but they have been documented. Most
of the new features (like package options) are intended to overcome issues in
previous releases without changing significantly the behaviour of Babel.
Starting with this version, babel has been separated in a core (or base) part,
and contributed language-specific packages.
The core part is located in the subdirectory base, the contrib part is actually
a link into CTAN's macros/latex/contrib subtree.
