This update includes the following changes:
* Added --find, -f option to print location of the command sequence definitions.
* Added several list options to list all command sequences (macros) which are
defined by the given package(s) or class(es). Command sequences which are
defined or modified by the LaTeX code or command option handling packages are
filtered. More entries to the filter can be added by command line arguments.
All these options are only defined for LaTeX and require the packages 'filehook' and 'currfile'.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mathastext
Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is release 1.14c
+ There was a bug with $, &, \%, and # in math mode which
could show up when ten or more math families had been
assigned. The same bug also affected under the same
circumstances the minus sign when Unicode engines were
used. Fixed.
+ I have modified a bit the behavior of the LGRgreek option, and
defined a new option LGRgreeks. Idem with selfGreek which now
also has a variant selfGreeks (this is related to the behavior
accross distinct math versions.)
+ Bug fix: the Mathastext macro reinitializes the
fonts in the normal and bold math versions, but it also
erroneously redeclared the math alphabet changing commands
which could have been set up in previously defined math
versions (via earlier calls to Mathastext[version_name]).
+ Finally, I have tried to clean up a bit some aspects of the
implementation.

Richard Gill encouraged me to install on CTAN a copy of his and J C
Loredo's prodint font. I have now done so.
from the catalogue entry i have just written:
Product integrals are to products, as integrals are to sums. They
have been around for more than a hundred years, they have not
become part of the standard toolbox, possibly because no-one
invented the right mathematical symbol for them. The
authors remedied that situation by proposing the symbol and
providing this font.

On Wed, 23 Mar 2011, Martin Scharrer submitted the
filemod
package.
Summary description: Package to display and compare file modifcation dates
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides macros to read and compare the modification dates
of files. These files can be .tex files, images or other files as long as they can be
found by the LaTeX compiler. It uses the pdffilemoddate primitive of pdfLaTeX
to receive the file modification date as PDF date string, parses it and returns
the value to the user. This package will also work for DVI output with recent
versions of the LaTeX compiler which uses pdfLTEX in DVI mode. The functionality
is provided by purely expandable macros or by faster but non-expandable ones.
Examples:
% Prints file modification date and time of main file
filemodprint{jobname}
% Include newest of a set of files:
input{filemodNewest{{file1}{file2}{file3}}}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at

mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Previous versions modified solely mathnormal, mathrm and
mathbf. The new release also links mathit, mathsf and
mathtt to the document text fonts (at the time of loading
the package or at each call to the macro Mathastext when it
is used for defining math-as-text versions). In its current
state, mathastext can thus be seen as providing a somewhat
complete generic math support for Latin text fonts provided
without one.
