Version: 1.0
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A Paragraph statistic package for OpTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Parstat is a package for the OpTeX format that counts glyphs and
spaces on paragraph lines. From these numbers a statistic is made,
which is printed into the logfile. It’s intended for checking
the optimal range of characters and words on paragraph lines
when designing a new layout.
No external tools are needed, as all is done in Lua inside the
TeX engine. Due to this, it integrates perfectly into our
specific work. We can omit what we don’t want in the results.
It’s also very fast and consumes no extra memory.
I know it’s a small and simple package, but I believe
that it could be useful for someone else...

- updated documentation
- Common text rendering code was factored out of the linear and matrix renderers into its own resource.
- The ITF-14 encoder's text positioning was fixed.
- The Code 128 encoder's raw mode was fixed.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced to accept top and bottom for the textyalign option.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with a textdirection option.
- The linear and matrix renderer were enhanced with support for extratextsubspace, extratextsplit and extratextlinegaps options corresponding to the alttext equivalents.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with alttextsubspace that allows given characters to be substituted for spaces.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with alttextsplit and alttextlinegaps options that may be used to render multi-line blocks of text.
- The GS1 AI linter was realigned with the latest release of the GS1 Syntax Dictionary.
- The encoder for EAN-8 was changed to forbid the use of a two-digit or five-digit addon unless a permitaddon option is supplied.
- The high-level encoder for MaxiCode was replaced with a new algorithm that may result in significantly shorter messages.
- The encoder for Aztec Code was fixed so that punctuation compression works correctly after a binary sequence.
- The GS1 AI linter now reports the mandatory association specification that is not being met.
- The baseline of EAN/UPC add-ons is now correctly aligned with the guard bars in the primary symbol.
- Support for HRI text was added to the GS1 Digital Link variant symbologies.

lua-unicode-math
package.
Version: 0.2 2025-12-11
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: OpenType Math font support for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern LaTeX engines support Unicode based input and Unicode based
fonts in the OpenType format, making LaTeX more compatible with
newly developed fonts.
OpenType also supports mathematical fonts containing a special
MATH table to contain metrics needed for mathematical typesetting.
These fonts offer many advantages over traditional TeX math fonts,
including a very big selection of available symbols and better
accessibility support.
These fonts can be used in LaTeX with the unicode-math package,
which comes with a significant performance overhead and is
incompatible with other math fonts.
lua-unicode-math is an experimental package to provide a faster
alternative in LuaLaTeX which integrates better with LaTeX’s internal
support for math families and therefore also makes it easier to
combine it with traditional font packages.

Summary description: CTAN package checker
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
## 2025-12-11 (3.3.1)
### Changed
- permission checking for scripts regarding x-bits has changed
In pkgcheck 3.3.0 a script having the x-bit set but doesn't have a shebang causes E0002
error message.
Now, it will be accepted that a script with a shebang doesn't have the x-bit set.
- permission checking for Windows command files
If the file is a windows command file ie. a file with extension `.bat`, `.cmd`, `.ps1`, `.nsh` or `.reg`
then we accept both 644 and 755
Previously, 755 for a windows command file caused an E0002 error.
- crates update
### Fixed
- wrong ownership permission unequal to 7 for directories wasn't recognized
- pdf checking: suppress unwanted warning messages

Alain Matthes submitted an update to the
tkz-elements
package.
Version: 4.44c 2025-12-09
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 4.44c of tkz-elements brings substantial extensions to
the geometric engine, new analytical tools, and important
improvements to the Lua–TeX interface.
On the geometric side, the triangle class gains two new constructions
related to the Feuerbach–Apollonius configuration, including a
dedicated implementation of Kimberling point n°181.
The circle class benefits from an enhanced CCC method, now able
to handle a broader range of special tangency cases reliably.
The vector class has been significantly extended: it now provides
the components dx and dy, together with a full set of analytical
methods (dot, cross, is_parallel, is_orthogonal, angle_to, rotate,
etc.), offering a more complete and consistent framework for
vector-based computations inside Lua.
At the system level, new global constants have been introduced
to control TeX dimension limits (tkz.maxdimen_pt, tkz.max_coord_cm,
tkz.max_coord_safe). These values are used to reinforce the safety
of coordinate transfer between Lua and TikZ.
The macro \tkzGetNodes has been updated accordingly: only point
names ending in p or pp are transformed, and coordinates exceeding
the safe range are automatically replaced by (0,0) with a warning
written to the log file.
Finally, the documentation has been revised with restored overview
and contents sections, an expanded description of the vector class,
and corrections to the example on Soddy circles.
