Vaibhav Blayer submitted an update to the tikzphysics package. Version: 1.5.0 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: TikZ-native shapes and anchors for classical physics diagrams Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- tikzphysics 1.5.0 tikzphysics 1.5.0 completes percentage-anchor coverage for straight and curved ramps, corrects wedge midpoint and centroid anchors, and extends show anchors and show keys to native fluid nodes. The curved ramp has a longer default floor. A revised manual and cross-module visual tour show how to inspect nodes, paths, and pics in TikZ. Updated tests and the single-file Overleaf bundle generator are included. tikzphysics 1.4.0 tikzphysics 1.4.0 adds native fluid-mechanics nodes and assemblies, solid and differential elements, and a documented system of percentage anchors for platforms, ground, ceiling, and walls. The show anchors overlay now works on unnamed nodes and gives coincident points one marker with a complete table. The release includes a rendered thirteen-page surface-anchor gallery and rejects upward platform insets that would make the outline cross itself. Updated examples, tests, manual, and the single-file Overleaf bundle are included. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikzphysics More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/tikzphysics -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: nxtlatex
by CTAN Announcements 26 Sep '26

26 Sep '26

Volker Reichenberger submitted an update to the nxtlatex package. Version: 1.3 License: lppl1.3c ofl Summary description: Classes and themes for faculty NXT (Reutlingen University) Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- nxtlatex 1.3 provides LaTeX classes and themes for the faculty NXT Sustainability and Technology at Reutlingen University: a thesis class, a letter class option and a Beamer theme. All components require LuaLaTeX. Changes in version 1.3: - nxtthesis is now based on the standard class report instead of KOMA-Script scrreprt. With \DocumentMetadata{..., tagging=on} it produces tagged, accessible PDFs; veraPDF confirms PDF/UA-2 for all twelve font options and for the example thesis. When tagging is active, the class loads the tagging support for listings. Layout and appearance are unchanged; \subtitle, \addchap and \addsec are still available. - The declaration of academic integrity follows the faculty's guideline of December 2025, including the required statement on AI tools (option ki=...) and an optional partner university. - New class options: richtlinie (the faculty's mandatory layout), kapitaelchen (headings in small caps) and logo, plus seven new font options (now twelve). With the option english, the title page is now in English as well. - Lists of abbreviations (\akronym, based on acro) and symbols (\Symbol, \printsymbols); \kapitaelchen sets small caps only where the current font shape has them. - The NXT logos are now glyphs in the included NXT Logo Font 1.0 (OFL), taken unchanged from the faculty's corporate design. No download is needed any more. The logo macros support all colour schemes of the corporate design, including CMYK, and provide alternative texts. - Title, author and language are written to the PDF metadata; PDF/A via \DocumentMetadata no longer produces a duplicate OutputIntent. - nxtbrief now uses fontawesome5, and the package ships a TDS archive, so nxtbrief.lco is installed where TeX finds it. The Beamer theme file is now named beamerthemeNXT.sty, matching \usetheme{NXT}. - A complete example thesis with sources and a German introduction to LaTeX with the class (PDF) are included. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nxtlatex More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/nxtlatex -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
