Sebastian Ørsted submitted an update to the

                SemanTeX

package.

Version number: 0.501
License type: lppl1.3c

Summary description: Semantic, keyval-based mathematics

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------

v0.501
A minor update to the previous update 0.500, fixing a (very important)
error in the manual.

v0.500
A relatively big update, at least in terms of syntax. Apart from bug
fixes, the most important changes are:
* The keyval syntax has been changed so that it now includes SPACES,
similarly to the TikZ keyval syntax. In other words, keys like
“upperleft” are now called “upper left”, and e.g. “d*withothersep” is
now “d * with other sep”. Sorry about this, but it’s better to change
it now than to annoy people later. And the syntax becomes a LOT
prettier this way.
* The Cohomology and Delimiter class types are now deprecated, as their
syntax only cause confusion. Instead, I encourage you to use the
Variable class type, which can essentially do the same thing. They are
still included for backwards compatibility, though.
* I have added keys for appending and pre-appending keys, i.e. adding
code to the left and the right of existing keys, similarly to what you
can do with pgfkeys.
* For technical reasons, it is no longer possible to create keys taking
9 arguments (in fact, the previous implementation turned out to be
buggy). So 8 is now the maximum. I hope to solve this issue later, but
I doubt anyone is even going to notice.
