Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the
chemmacros
package.
Version number: 4.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: macros and commands for chemists
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
changes with v4.0:
- the packages `chemformula' and `ghsystem' do not load
`chemmacros' any more which means they can be used
independently.
- the option `bpchem' has been dropped.
- the commands mch and pch now match `chemformula's charges.
- the option `method' has been dropped.
- the option `append' has deprecated.
- the option `greek' has been extended to support other uppercase
greek letters, for example those provided by `kpfonts'. This is
handled internally by the new package in the family: `chemgreek'.
This package is not really a package for usage at a user-level
but could in principle be used to extend the `greek' option.
- language support is now done with the help of the `translations'
package from the `exsheets' bundle. This means that with v4.0 the
document language is recognized automatically.
- the status of the commands Lfi and Dfi has been changed
from /deprecated/ to /dropped/.
- various other changes like bug fixes and improvements on the
typographical appearance of `chemformula's inline formulae with
ch{}.
- every package in the bundle got its own documentation file but the
German and Italian version of the manuals are no longer provided
