Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
xint
bundle.
Version: 1.4e 2021-05-05
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Logarithms (natural and to the base 10), exponentials and
powers now available up to 62 digits.
- Trigonometric functions also available at high degree of
accuracy up to 62 digits.
- Special fast mode at 8 digits or less for the above mentioned
functions, at a lowered accuracy standard (correct rounding
perhaps only in about 95% of cases), but largely precise enough
for tasks such as plots.
Also taking this opportunity to announce xintsession which
has been available for a few weeks.
Try out etex xintsession or, if available,
rlwrap etex xintsession on the command line.

Summary description: Filter clutter from the output of a TeX run
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
texfot is a small Perl script to filter the online output from a TeX
run, attempting to show only those messages which (probably) deserve
some action. The TeX invocation itself can remain exactly the same.
This update checks for the TMP environment variable if TMPDIR is not set.
This program has no home page other than CTAN and no mailing lists.
Please send bug reports/requests/discussion directly to me,
karl(a)freefriends.org.
