निरंजन submitted an update to the
LinguisTiX
package.
Version number: 0.7 2026-01-19
License type: gpl3+
Summary description: Enhanced support for linguistics
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This version marks a significant change in the LinguisTiX
bundle. All the previous versions were licensed under GPLv3+
and GFDLv1.3+ pair with the former being the license for
the programs and the latter being the same for their
documentations. Since the documentations were generated
using the dtx files licensed under GPLv3+, the generated
PDFs had to follow the same license. I correct this mistake
in this version and from now on the project will be under
GPLv3+ only. Similarly, the copyright years are corrected
from this version strictly following the guidelines given
by the FSF.
Apart from this, the new version provides support for
linguistic glossing. Two packages are added in this version.
LinguisTiX-glossing provides a generic solution for
interlinear glossing. It can be used cross-linguistically
and LinguisTiX-leipzig is provided as a specialised package
developed for the Leipzig glossing style. These packages are
released for testing. So any kind of feedback is highly
appreciated. Note that these packages provide tagged
glosses and comply with the LaTeX project’s tagging support.
This marks the completion of the first grant of the project
provided by the TeX Users Group. Project will still be under
constant development.
The documentation of LinguisTiX-leipzig will be released
shortly after I am back at software from a study break.
Cheers,
निरंजन

tugboat
package.

License: lppl1.3
Summary description: LaTeX macros for TUGboat articles
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A small update to the LaTeX tugboat package. Noteworthy changes:
2.36 (2026-01-14)
ltugboat.cls:
- typeset bibliographies with \raggedright by default.
- \tubdots: intra-dot space also before first dot.
- don't use math for \Cplusplus, etc., since OpenType math (lm, newcm)
results differ from traditional TeX math.
- smaller kern for \BibTeX.
- \CandT: tie before \&.
tugboat.bst:
- use a tie after month abbreviations by default (monthtie=0 to override).
- use a tie after edition numbers, like "1st~ed.".
- use a tie after the "In" output by @incollection, etc.
- if the new field isbnoutput is set, output the isbn field if it's present,
preceded by "ISBN~" unless the field value already contains "ISBN".
Use a space instead of ~ if the field isbnspace is set.

Please submit articles for the next issue: see article template and
information at https://tug.org/TUGboat/location.html.
And see https://tug.org/TUGboat for author info, back issues, and
everything else relating to TUGboat. Suggestions and bug reports are

KKTeX submitted an update to the

package.
Version number: 1.1.0 2026-01-06
License type: mit
Summary description: Flexible ruler and annotation commands with key-value support and vertical writing compatibility
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Updated the package to address the issue reported in
https://github.com/KKTeX/modernruler/issues/1.
Previously, \zw was used internally, which caused compatibility issues in
certain LaTeX environments.
Since \zw is specific to Japanese typesetting, it has been replaced with em for
Latin text environments (as they are functionally equivalent) to ensure broader
compatibility.

Cedric Schacht submitted an update to the
quantumcubemodel
package.
Version number: 0.2.0 2025-12-09
License type: mit
Summary description: Representation of quantum states in the quantum cube model
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear users,
Version 0.2.0 of the `quantumcubemodel` LaTeX package brings significant
improvements and introduces breaking changes compared to v0.1.0. Please read
below to understand the impact and new features.
# Why the Change?
This update is the result of a major redesign of the package API, aiming to
offer far greater flexibility for users and enable more refined and customizable
quantum cube diagrams. The new design exposes the underlying TikZ canvas,
allowing for advanced diagramming and more versatile usage
quantumcubemodel-doc.pdf.
# Key Breaking Changes
* API Overhaul:
* All user commands now use the qcmx prefix.
* Previous commands (e.g., \qcmQ, \qcmQQ, \qcmQQQ) have been replaced by a new environment (qcmx) and rendering commands such as \qcmxRenderQ, \qcmxRenderQQ, \qcmxRenderQQQ.
* Amplitude and Phase Configuration:
* New commands for setting amplitudes and phases (e.g., \qcmxO, \qcmxI, etc.).
* Optional phase parameter (degrees, 0–360) for amplitude commands.
* Qubit Axis Control:
* You can now set the orientation/axis for qubit systems, with options for 1, 2, and 3 qubits (e.g., \qcmxOrientationQ{y}, \qcmxOrientationQQ{xy}).
* Multiple Diagrams in One Canvas:
* Support for offsets (X, Y, Z) to position multiple diagrams within one TikZ figure.
* Transformation & Measurement Commands:
* Specialized render commands for Pauli-X, Y, Z, Hadamard, CNot, CCNot, and measurement operations, with flexible orientation and multi-qubit support.
# Migration Guide
* Update all usage to the new qcmx environment and commands.
* Refer to the new documentation for updated examples and migration instructions.
* Legacy commands from v0.1.0 are not compatible; you must adapt your documents to the new API .
# New Features
* Main color setting for diagrams.
* Easier amplitude and phase handling.
* More refined control over diagram composition and transformation.
* Expanded documentation with practical examples.
For further details, consult the documentation and example files included with
the package. If you have questions, please reach out.
Best regards,
Cedric Schacht
