On Mon, 4 Apr 2011 Thomas Sturm submitted an update to the
csvsimple
package.
Summary description: csv file processing, comma separated values
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
csvsimple provides a simple LaTeX interface for the processing of files with
comma separated values (CSV). csvsimple relies heavily on the key value syntax
from pgfkeys which results (hopefully) in an easy way of usage. Filtering and
table generation is especially supported. Since the package is considered as a
lightweight tool, there is no support for data sorting or data base storage.

texdef
package.
Location on CTAN: /support/texdef
Summary description: Updated to v1.3: Find and list command sequence definitions
License type: fdl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update includes the following changes:
* Added --find, -f option to print location of the command sequence definitions.
* Added several list options to list all command sequences (macros) which are
defined by the given package(s) or class(es). Command sequences which are
defined or modified by the LaTeX code or command option handling packages are
filtered. More entries to the filter can be added by command line arguments.
All these options are only defined for LaTeX and require the packages 'filehook' and 'currfile'.

mathastext
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mathastext
Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is release 1.14c
+ There was a bug with $, &, \%, and # in math mode which
could show up when ten or more math families had been
assigned. The same bug also affected under the same
circumstances the minus sign when Unicode engines were
used. Fixed.
+ I have modified a bit the behavior of the LGRgreek option, and
defined a new option LGRgreeks. Idem with selfGreek which now
also has a variant selfGreeks (this is related to the behavior
accross distinct math versions.)
+ Bug fix: the Mathastext macro reinitializes the
fonts in the normal and bold math versions, but it also
erroneously redeclared the math alphabet changing commands
which could have been set up in previously defined math
versions (via earlier calls to Mathastext[version_name]).
+ Finally, I have tried to clean up a bit some aspects of the
implementation.
