Clea F. Rees submitted an update to the
prooftrees
package.
Version: 0.9.3 2026-02-21
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Forest-based proof trees (symbolic logic)
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
prooftrees now uses the updated forest-ext (v0.3) for tagging and
memoize-ext for memoizing tagged tableaux (if memoize is loaded).
Changes should not affect the user interface unless custom tagging
was enabled, in which case some modifications may be required.
(But in this case, almost everything is done by the user and not
this package, so hopefully this should not be a problem.)
This greatly simplifies the memos since most complications
involving catcode changes can be avoided.

forest-ext
package.
Version: 0.3
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Additional Forest libraries providing bug fixes, extensions and support for tagging
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tagging support now provides more concise alt text, but the main change is use of memoize-ext if memoize is loaded in a tagged PDF. This simplifies the memos considerably and provides a more flexible interface in the form of sockets during extern utilisation.

Version: 5.02c 2026-02-20
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Added
- path Method 'scale' Anisotropic scaling
- fct Added half_tangents and tangent methods.
Tangents now return unit direction points (no line objects).
Fully compatible with set_scale.
Unified implementation based on drawing coordinates.
Changed
- path homothety now center is optional
- fct et pfct
Removed graph-related drawing macros (\tkzDrawPointOnGraph,
\tkzDrawPointsOnGraph, \tkzDrawPointOnParamGraph, \tkzDrawPointsOnParamGraph).
These were incompatible with set_scale and contradicted the
Lua-computation / TikZ-drawing design principle.
- tkz-elements.sty
Deletions and corrections.

The package got split in two others: tokgroupmark and tokglobalstack.
So users can load only the needed part. See documentation for details.
This package preserves its original functionality and definitions
(though, importing the other two packages in the process) for
consistence and continuity. Besides that, just documentation.
