CTAN update: glossaries-extra

[CTAN Announcements]

Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the

                glossaries-extra

package.

Version number: 1.12 2017-02-03
License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: An extension to the glossaries package

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* \longnewglossaryentry now has a starred version that
   doesn't suppress the post-description hook. The unstarred
   version now inserts \glsxtrpostlongdescription at the end
   of the description instead of the hard-coded
   \leavevmode\unskip\nopostdesc

 * Added option 'postdot' (shortcut for 'nopostdot=false')

 * Added 'alias' key to \newglossaryentry and associated command
   \glsxtralias

 * \printunsrtglossary now has a starred version.

 * Added existence checks to \newignoredglossary

 * Modified \glsnoidxdisplayloc to check for range formations.

 * The record=only package option automatically implements
   indexcrossref=false

 * \glsxtrresourcefile sets the category code of @ to letter
   to allow internal commands within the location field.

 * \GlsXtrLoadResources can now be used multiple times. After
   the first instance "\jobname-<n>" is used as the argument
   to \glsxtrresourcefile.

 * New abbreviation styles:

    long-postshort-user
    long-postshort-user-desc
    short-postlong-user
    short-postlong-user-desc

 * New commands (see CHANGES file)
