On Thu, 27 Sep 2012 Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The mathastext package automatically (or only locally)
changes the document fonts used in math mode for letters and
digits (and a few other punctuation and symbol signs) to
replace them by the font used for the text. Thus, the
package makes it possible to use a quite arbitrary font
without worrying too much that it does not have specially
designed accompanying math fonts. Also, mathastext provides
a simple mechanism in order to use more than one
math-as-text font in the same document.
+ new with 1.15: with the `subdued' option it is possible
to let the `mathastextification' act locally in the document.
+ new with 1.15b: some backward incompatibility introduced
by a `feature' of 1.15 is fixed, and the documentation is
made clearer.

On Tue, 25 Sep 2012 maïeul Rouquette submitted an update to the
eledmac
package.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In eledmac :
- new package option parapparatus : it allows paragraph inside critical notes (except for paragraphed notes)
- ledchapter ledsection ledsubsection ledsubsubsection and the starred versions allows critical notes for sectionning command. Read the handbook.
- new command to add in preamble labelpstarttrue: if you use it, a label put just after a pstart will refer to the pstart number
- hooks for note customization :
- Correction on
umberonlyfirstinline with lineation by pstart or by page.
- Add
umberonlyfirstintwolines[series] : must be used in combination with
umberonlyfirstinline. If you use
umberonlyfirstintwolines, l.2-3 will be distincted from l. 2
- pstartinfootnote[series] : print the pstart in the footnote number. Auto enabled with lineation{pstart} and auto disabled with lineation{page} and lineation{section}
- onlypstartinfootnote[series] : print only the pstart number in footnotes, and not the line number.
- hookXnote[series]{code}, hooknoteX[series]{code}, hookXendnote[series]{code} to add an arbitraty code at the begining of a critical/familiara/end note
- eforeXnotes[series]{length} eforenotesX[series]{length} : to define space before critical or familiar footnotes.
- xtbeforeXnotes[series]{txt} : to add text before critical footnotes.
- maxhXnotes[series]{lenght} and maxhnotesX[series]{length} : to define the max height of critical / familiar footnotes. Read the handbook
- preXnotes{length} and prenotesX{length} can be use to define the space before the first series of critical/critical footnotes of the pages, instead of the value defined by eforeXnotes[series]{length} / eforenotesX[series]{length}
- when two (or more) sidenotes are in the same line, they are both printed, separated by a comma. But you can redefine sidenotesep to change this separator.
In eledpar :
- compatibility with eledmac 1.1
- the option shiftedverses becomes shiftedpstart. And so shiftedversestrue becomes shiftedpstartstrue and shiftedversesfalse becomes shiftedpstartsfalse
