CTAN update: KKsymbols
by CTAN Announcements 21 Aug '26

21 Aug '26

KKTeX submitted an update to the KKsymbols package. Version: 2.3.0 2026-08-20 License: mit Summary description: LaTeX commands for enclosing characters in circles, squares, diamonds, or brackets Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ New package options: `autolowercase' (on by default) routes a single lowercase ASCII letter through the lowercase-safe sizing path, and `linewidth' together with per-command keys such as `marulinewidth' sets the frame thickness of every TikZ-drawn enclosure. The safe-sizing routes now fit arbitrary material uniformly against the outline that is really drawn, so multi-character arguments such as \maru*{abc} no longer cross their frames, while single lowercase letters keep the size they had in 2.2.2. \maru{c} and friends therefore look unchanged, and \maruhishi now reaches its intended rounded diamond rather than the filled one. The documentation gains a recommended style for lowercase roman numerals -- the non-starred commands with one group-wide \kksref{\Rrnum{6}} -- and a corner-case test sheet whose figures the document measures at compile time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/kksymbols The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/kksymbols/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Phuc Nguyen submitted an update to the texchanges bundle. Version: 0.3.0 2026-08-18 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: LaTeX-native track changes for human and AI-assisted review Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Texchanges brings explicit tracked changes to LaTeX and Overleaf review workflows, with source-controlled additions, removals, replacements, comments, and review decisions. Version 0.3.0 makes babel translations apply to a document’s main language, localizes the report status names, keeps legacy reviewer labels intact in the texchanges-merge tool, and restores authormarkuptext=name on TeX Live 2023. The Overleaf bundle also names its compiled output the way Overleaf expects, so both example projects produce a PDF there. The archive now also ships editor completion files and log-level regression tests verified across pdfTeX, XeTeX, and LuaTeX. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/texchanges The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/texchanges/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
