François Pantigny submitted an update to the
nicematrix
package.
Version: 3.13 2020-03-15
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Improve the typesetting of mathematical matrices with PGF
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The code of the extension 'nicematrix' has been optimized.
In particular the extension no longer explicitly uses TikZ
but only PGF.
THE EXTENSION NO LONGER LOADS TIKZ BUT ONLY PGF.
The behaviour of the command
otate is improved when used
in the 'last row'.
The option 'dotted-lines-margin' has been renamed to 'xdots/shorten'
and two options 'xdots/color' and 'xdots/line-style' have been added
for a complete customization of the dotted lines.
In the environments without preamble ({NiceMatrix}, {pNiceMatrix},
etc.) it's possible to use the options 'l' or 'r' to specify the
types of the columns.

Jan Hajer submitted an update to the
hep-paper
package.
Version number: 1.2 2020-03-01
License type: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Publications in High Energy Physics
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The hep-paper package aims to provide a single style file containing
most configurations and macros necessary to write appealing
publications in High Energy Physics. Instead of reinventing the wheel
by introducing newly created macros hep-paper preferably loads third
party packages as long as they are lightweight enough. For usual
publications it is enough to load additionally to the article class
without optional arguments only the hep-paper package.
This version includes the addition of package options, handling of
acronyms, and a revtex compatibility mode.
