logicproof
package.
Version date: 2014/03/20
License type: lppl
Summary description: Box proofs for propositional and predicate logic
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
First public release
A common style of proof used in propositional and predicate
logic is Fitch proofs, in which each line of the proof has a
statement and a justification, and subproofs within a larger
proof have boxes around them. This package provides
environments for making such proofs and boxes. It creates
proofs in a style similar to the one used in Logic in Computer
Science by Huth and Ryan.
When I took a logic class in college, the professor lamented
that there wasn't a good way to make these box proofs in LaTeX,
and suggested that the class write up their assignments in
LaTeX without boxes, print them out, and draw the boxes in by
hand before turning them in. Unsatisfied with this approach, I
created some macros to draw these boxes in LaTeX itself. I
shared that code with the professor, who liked it enough to
share it with the rest of the class.
It's been nearly a decade since then, and I have recently
discovered that not only are people still using my old code,
its use has spread to other colleges. I had assumed that in the
intervening time, a professional logician would have made and
published a better implementation, but that doesn't seem to
have happened. This is an improved version of my old code, with
several problems fixed and a more standardized syntax.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In some fields of scholarship, a beamer does not offer good

better to distribute a handout to the audience with extracts of
the texts about which we will talk.
The package supports preparation of such handouts when writing the
talk.

Clear Sans was designed by Daniel Ratighan at Monotype under
the direction of the User Experience team at Intel’s Open
Source Technology Center. Clear Sans is available in three
weights (regular, medium, and bold) with corresponding italics,
plus light and thin upright (without italics).
Clear Sans has minimized, unambiguous characters and slightly
narrow proportions, making it ideal for UI design. Its strong,
recognizable forms avoid distracting ambiguity, making Clear
Sans comfortable for reading short UI labels and long passages
in both screen and print.

Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new
~~~~~~~~~~
- With LuaTeX, spaces are not ignored after shorthands and closing
braces can follow them.
- extlatin and friends are deprecated. For the logos (see below) a
new macro is used if necessary (ensureascii), so extlatin is not
used in the core any more.
- abelensure can be used to wrap caption texts with
foreignlanguage, as well as to enforce an encoding.
- abeltags is just for syntactical sugar, and defines macros with
short names to switch the language (eg, extdeu and deu).
- Bug fixed -- The logos TeX and LaTeX were typeset in a wrong font
in some cases. Now if a non-ASCII font is not loaded they are not
redefined at all.
- Partial compatibility with languages named as lang@ instead
of l@ (plain etex/xetex/luatex).
- Bug fixed -- bl@allowhyphens is now ignored in vertical mode.
- Bug fixed -- Loops with @for failed in Plain.
- Bug fixed -- A few codes in xetex where wrong when loading patterns.
- Bug fixed -- With strings=encoded captions were left unchanged in
MakeUppercase/MakeLowercase.

Summary description: Playfair Display fonts with LaTeX support
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Playfair Display is well suited for titling and headlines. It
has an extra large x-height and short descenders. It can be set
with no leading if space is tight, for instance in news
headlines, or for stylistic effect in titles. Capitals are
extra short, and only very slightly heavier than the lowercase
characters. This helps achieve a more even typographical colour
when typesetting proper nouns and initialisms.
The designer is Claus Eggers Sørensen.

chemnum
package.
Version number: 1.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: A method of numbering chemical compounds
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is version 1.0 of chemnum.
For this update the package has been rewritten from scratch.
There are various changes some of which will break existing
documents. (I have struggled with this decision for a while but
then chemnum /has/ been in an experimental stage before,
so...). While the new version undoubtedly has new bugs its
syntax won't change anymore. So at least from the perspective
of a user v1.0 is supposed to be stable :)
Some of the changes have already been announced here:
http://www.mychemistry.eu/2014/01/chemnum-v1-0-release-candidate/
For all changes please refer to the package manual.

glossaries
package.
Version number: 4.04
License type: lppl
Summary description: Create glossaries and lists of acronyms.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* glossaries.sty:
- There are now three ways of creating glossaries:
(1) using makeindex;
(2) using xindy;
(3) using TeX (new this version).
The new method (using TeX instead of makeindex/xindy)
uses the new commands: makenoidxglossaries,
printnoidxglossary and printnoidxglossaries
(Analogous to makeglossaries, printglossary
and printglossaries).
This new method allows independent sort methods for
individual glossaries, which isn't available for the
makeindex/xindy methods.
- New package option noredefwarn
- Minor bug fixes
makeglossaries:
- Added new switches: -Q and -k
- Added more diagnostics

Version number: 1.07k
License type: lppl
Summary description: Completely customisable TOCs
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Etoc and tocloft may now be used concurrently in the same
document. In compatibility mode, etoc will obey the customizing
done by tocloft both for the contents and the title of the
table of contents; etoc's depth tags, localtableofcontents,
label+ref mechanism are functional. It is possible to use etoc
contents and title styles for one TOC and tocloft's for another
one (tocloft should be loaded before etoc, else a warning will
be issued.)
Also, better compatibility with the memoir class,
and one more example of etoc line styles specification has been
added to the documentation.

Version number: 1.10
License type: gpl
Summary description: Create normal/logarithmic plots in two and three
dimensions.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
HISTORY:
1.10:
- new feature: fill between plots (library fillbetween)
- new feature: concatenate intersection segments (library fillbetween)
- fixed bug: xelatex failed to run contour external
- fixed incompatibility with label and usepackage{mcaption}
- fixed bug: histograms produced wrong point meta
- fixed bug: histograms reported the wrong 'plot name' and confused
shifts of bar plots 1.9:
- new feature: asymmetric error bars
- new feature: activated math parser for axis limit arguments,
arguments in axis cs, and domain argument in log plots
- new feature: stacked bar plots place their 'nodes near coords'
correctly in the middle and print the increment (compat=1.9)
- new feature: stacked bar plots suppress empty increments (compat=1.9).
- new feature: 'scatter/position=relative|absolute' allow to position
'nodes near coords' absolutely. use-case: bar plots + nodes near coords
which are at, say, y=0 rather than their y value
- new feature: integration of smooth shadings & auto-CMYK conversion
usepackage[cmyk]{xcolor} or selectcolormodel{cmyk} will reconfigure
pgfplots to use CMYK (document-wide)
- new feature (advanced audience only): programmatic access to data
coordinates during the visualization phase -> allows much more
customization for error bars, stacked plots, nodes near coords.
- wrote beginner tutorials
- fixed bug: error bars and point meta did not work together
- fixed bug: stacked plots did not respect 'visualization depends on'
- fixed bug: luatex 0.76 is not backwards compatible; added version
switch
- fixed bug: ternary library precision has been improved
- fixed bug: problem with axis limits very close to 0
- fixed bug: colormap specification limit case produced out of bounds
exception 1.8:
