Emmanuel Beffara submitted an update to the
ebproof
package.
Version: 2.0 2017-05-17
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Formal proofs in the style of sequent calculus
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a complete rewrite of the package allowing for future
developments. It now uses the expl3 programming environment
instead of pgfkeys and additional packages.
The feature set from the user's point of view is mostly unchanged
except that commands have been renamed to lowercase (but backwards
compatibility is preserved, with warnings) and that a new command
ewrite has been added, to allow arbitrary decoration of proof
subtrees.

Javier Bezos López submitted an update to the
babel
package.
Version: 3.10 2017-05-19
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new.
----------
With abelprovide you can create a new language if there is no style
for your language or the available ones do not fit your needs.
This macro is also the first step in using the new ini files, because
you can load the captions in utf-8 from them if necessary (and if
available).
From this version on, the letter in version numbers is dropped, so
the current one is 3.10, the next one will be 3.11 and so on.
