Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
xint
package.
Version number: 1.2k 2017-01-06
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The xintfrac.sty floating point macros since 1.2f round their
arguments to the target precision P before further processing.
This rounding is now exact (aka correct) in all cases, even with
fractions having long numerators and denominators.
This change has little influence on float expressions, as the
xintfloatexpr parser handles there the / symbol as an operator
hence it does not (except for special constructs) get to see
fractions as such.
- Half-INT powers A^x (only available in float expressions,
not via macros) proceed by an INT power and then a
square-root extraction: the 1.2f implementation did the latter
on an already rounded value, 1.2k keeps some of the guard digits
to make the computed value Z closer to the exact one: a
difference of less than 0.52 ulp(Z) is guaranteed in all cases.
- Macro xintnewdummy is made a public one, it serves to declare
additional letters as dummy variables in expressions. This is
for Unicode engines, mainly, as all Latin letters are already
predefined to act as such.
See CHANGES.pdf or CHANGES.html for the details and more.

The dataref team (1 person) is proud to announce version 0.6. Besides
technical improvements of in the datapoint processing (use
pgfkeys), version 0.6 now provides are more consistent API. Furthermore,
unit handling and automatic scaling is support. For example,
you can scale a 1000 second datapoint automatically to 16.6 m.
A better documentation document completes the picture.

Gustavo Mezzetti submitted the
halloweenmath
package.
Version number: 0.01 2017-01-06
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Scary and creepy math symbols with AMS-LaTeX
integration
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The halloweenmath package originated from a question asked for
enjoyment on TeX-LaTeX Stack Exchange <http://tex.stackexchange.com> by
the user cfr (see <http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/336768/69818>); it
defines a handful of commands for typesetting mathematical symbols of
various kinds, ranging from large operators to extensible arrow-like
relationsand growing arrow-like math accents, that all draw from the
classic Halloween-related iconography (pumpkins, witches, ghosts, cats,
and so on) while being, at the same time, seamlessly integrated within
the rest of the mathematics produced by (AmS-)LaTeX.
