xevlna
package.
Summary description: Insertion of nonbreakable spaces by XeTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The purpose of the package is to insert nonbreakable spaces (in Czech vlna or
vlnka) after nonsyllabic prepositions and single letter conjuctions directly
while TeXing the document. The macros recognise math and verbatim by TeX means.
Inserting nonbreakable spaces by a preprocessor may never be fully reliable
because user defined macros and environments cannot be recognised. It can be
used by both XeLaTeX and plain XeTeX.

Thomas König, Alexander Michel, Michael Baumgart submitted an update to the
numericplots
package.
Summary description: Plot numeric data (including Matlab export) using PSTricks.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Plotting numeric data is a task which often has to be done for scientific
papers. In LaTeX, however, it is only possible to include graphics created with
an external program. The pstricks-packages provide many commands to generate
graphics in LaTeX. To generate simple graphics from numeric data, however, it is
difficult to use. This package provides a simpler interface for the
pstricks-package to plot numeric data.
The implementation of the distance between axes and Labels/TickLabels was
changed completely. The Options xLabelSep, yLabelSep and LabelBP have been
replaced. Please see documentation.
Many improvements to the code and the documentation.

> Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document
> License type: lppl

>
> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed
> by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document
> itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract,
> even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file
> format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata
> when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is
> trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in
> their documents as well.
>
> hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires
> virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit
> hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The
> current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata
> as XMP: title, authors, primary author's title or position,
> metadata writer, subject/summary, keywords, copyright,
> license URL, document base URL, document identifier and
> instance identifier, language, source file name, PDF
> generating tool, PDF version, and contact telephone
> number/postal address/email address/URL. hyperxmp is
> compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm,
> xelatex, and lualatex.
>
> Version 2.3a fixes a minor bug that occurs when hyperxmp is
> used with a newer version of hyperref and the pdflang key is
> not used by the document.
