Dr Nicola L C Talbot wrote: Announcement text: v3.0 (Major changes): * Documentation has been restructured: - glossaries-user: main user manual - glossariesbegin: cut-down introduction for beginners - mfirstuc-manual: user manual for mfirstuc package - glossaries.pdf: documented code for advanced users - glossary2glossaries: upgrading from glossary.sty to glossaries.sty * Added new package options: - entrycounter : number main (level 0) entries in the glossary. - counterwithin : set parent counter for the entry counter. - subentrycounter : number level 1 entries in the glossary. - sort : set the sort order to - standard alphabetical (sort=standard), - order of definition (sort=def) - order of use (sort=use) - seeautonumberlist : automatically activates the number list for entries that use the see key. - savewrites : minimise number of \newwrite - compatible-2.07 : bug fixes in v3.0 have cause compatibility problems. This package option will restore the old behaviour but bugs will remain. (Should mostly only effect documents that used \noist with a custom Xindy style file.) * \printglossary sets \currentglossary to the current glossary's label. (Allows custom glossary styles access to the glossary type.) * Modified internal workings of acronyms and: - Added starred versions of \acrshort etc. - Added long, short, longplural and shortplural keys (Reserved for use with \newacronym.) - Added analogous longaccess, shortaccess, longpluralaccess and shortpluralaccess keys for \newacronym in glossaries-accsupp.sty * Added \glsseeitemformat to customise the text given in the link created by \glsseeitem. * \newglossaryentry key nonumberlist now boolean. * added debugging commands \showgloname etc. * now loads etoolbox: - replaced \DeclareRobustCommand with \newrobustcmd - replaced \@ifundefined with \ifcsundef - replaced \let...\undefined with \undef... * Bug Fixes: - now works with equation counter in amsmath's align environment. - Mixed counters now work with xindy option. - Fixed hyperlinks in location numbers where \theHcounter has a prefix not present in \thecounter. - If title specified in \printglossary but toctitle hasn't been specified, make toctitle same as supplied title. - \newglossaryentry see key and \glssee now sanitize and escape special characters before writing to output file. (Allows user to redefine \seename any point before \printglossary or \printglossaries.) - \glshyperlink: Changed the default value of the optional argument to \glsentrytext instead of \glsentryname. * mfirstuc.sty (v1.05): - added \glsmakefirstuc (replaces \@gls@makefirstuc) to make it easier to customise. makeglossaries (v2.02): * now displays version number on startup unless -q * added more diagnostics to give more helpful messages than those supplied by xindy or makeindex. i have installed the new version, but the change to the catalogue entry is going to take a little longer than usual. it will be in place by the time the catalogue is updated tonight. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/glossaries.html or browse the package's directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) by tomorrow morning.

Re: dante.ctan.org upload: mathastext
On Mon, 4 Apr 2011 Jean-Francois Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mathastext Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: -- This is release 1.14c + There was a bug with \$, \, \%, and \# in math mode which could show up when ten or more math families had been assigned. The same bug also affected under the same circumstances the minus sign when Unicode engines were used. Fixed. + I have modified a bit the behavior of the LGRgreek option, and defined a new option LGRgreeks. Idem with selfGreek which now also has a variant selfGreeks (this is related to the behavior accross distinct math versions.) + Bug fix: the \Mathastext macro reinitializes the fonts in the normal and bold math versions, but it also erroneously redeclared the math alphabet changing commands which could have been set up in previously defined math versions (via earlier calls to \Mathastext[version_name]). + Finally, I have tried to clean up a bit some aspects of the implementation. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .
