Summary description: An automated file & block management system for large-scale LaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello everyone,
I am pleased to announce the release of SimpleSystemTeX, a new
LaTeX3 package designed to streamline the typesetting of
large-scale documents.
SimpleSystemTeX focuses on maximizing the separation of content
and document structure. By utilizing an automated subfile-based
section management system, it significantly reduces the
maintenance burden for authors working on complex projects
like books or theses.
Its main features include:
* Automated file importing and Table of Contents generation.
* A robust “Block” system for unified management of mathematical
environments (theorems, definitions, proofs, etc.).
* Built-in dynamic cross-referencing without the need for manual
anchor management.
* Quick generation of categorized block indexes.
* A powerful interface to deeply customize the styles of headings,
links, blocks, and indexes using dynamic arguments and LaTeX3
conditionals.
I hope this package proves useful to the TeX community, especially
for those looking to focus purely on writing while the package
handles the structural heavy lifting.
Feedback and contributions are very welcome on the project’s GitHub
repository.
Best regards,
JokerXin

José Romildo Malaquias submitted back-to-back updates to the
pygmentex
package.
Versions: 0.12 2026-03-18 and 0.12.1 2026-03-19
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Use Pygments to format code listings in documents
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PygmenTeX v0.12.1 has been released.
PygmenTeX is a Python-based LaTeX package for typesetting code listings using the Pygments syntax highlighter. Unlike other packages, it collects all snippets and processes them in a single batch, significantly reducing compilation time.
CHANGES IN v0.12.1 (HOTFIX)
* List Margin Alignment: Fixed a critical regression where pygmented environments inside lists (itemize, enumerate, quotation) ignored parent margins. Code blocks now perfectly inherit the correct list indentation and line widths.
* Robust Option Parsing: The Python backend's option parser has been completely rewritten to be brace-aware ({...}). This prevents Pygments from crashing when handling complex, comma-separated LaTeX arguments (such as advanced tcolorbox TikZ overlays).
RECENTLY ADDED IN v0.12
* autogobble Option: Introduced the highly requested autogobble feature. This automatically calculates and strips common leading whitespace from code snippets, allowing authors to natively indent their \begin{pygmented} blocks to match the surrounding LaTeX source code.
* Modernized Parsing: Completely rewrote the internal LaTeX environment parser to safely preserve active newlines, resolving long-standing conflicts with fancyvrb.
For full documentation, please refer to the updated manual included in the package.

package.
Version: 1.4 2026-03-17
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Modern spot color support for the xcolor package
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes since v1.0:
- Fixed spot color output for \color, \textcolor, and \pagecolor.
In v1.0, these commands fell back to CMYK values instead of
producing true PDF Separation color space operators.
As of v1.4, all standard xcolor commands — including tinted
expressions like DIC161s!50 — correctly generate spot color
output on all engines (pdfTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX, and dvipdfmx).
- Fixed spot color output for PGF/TikZ drawing commands.
TikZ \fill, \draw, and low-level PGF color commands now produce
spot color operators for both fill and stroke independently.
- Fixed spot color output for PGF uncolored pattern fills.
Hatching and dot patterns (both legacy `patterns` and modern
`patterns.meta` libraries) now use a [/Pattern [/Separation ...]]
color space, producing true spot color output in pattern fills.
- Added user manual (spotxcolor.tex) with a feature/limitation
summary table.

svg-animate
package.
Version number: 1.0 2026-03-16
License type: agpl3
Summary description: Generate animated SVG diagrams with TikZ
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
svg-animate is a new LaTeX package for producing step-by-step animated SVG
diagrams with TikZ. Animations are implemented as SMIL keyframes embedded in the
SVG output, so they run natively in any web browser with no JavaScript and no
external dependencies.
The animation model is simple: a TikZ picture is divided into discrete steps,
and each element is revealed or hidden at specific steps via instantaneous
opacity transitions. The same source file produces both an animated SVG (via
latex + dvisvgm) and a clean static PDF (via xelatex or lualatex), making it
suitable for web publishing and print from a single source.
Key features:
- \begin{animate} / \reveal / \animstep — minimal, intuitive interface
- Per-step durations, looping or one-shot playback
- Multi-step and range visibility (step={1,3-5})
- Blinking elements with configurable amplitude (blink=)
- Static fallback for PDF output (\noanimate, static key)
- Cascading options from global to per-element level
Requirements: PGF/TikZ >= 3.1.9, dvisvgm >= 2.9, TeX Live 2022+ or MiKTeX 22+.

pyjupyter
package.
Version: 1.2.0 2026-03-15
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: Lightweight environment for typesetting Python code
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased to announce version 1.2.0 of the pyjupyter package. This new release introduces support for including external Python files directly in LaTeX documents through the `\inputpythonfile` command. This command allows users to embed Python scripts inside Jupyter-style code boxes while preserving syntax highlighting, optional line numbering, and the visual formatting provided by the package. It is also possible to display only selected portions of a file by specifying a range of lines, which is particularly useful when presenting excerpts of longer programs. With this addition, pyjupyter becomes more convenient for teaching materials, programming assignments, and technical documentation where code stored in external files needs to be displayed clearly within a LaTeX document.
