Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the
chemmacros
package.
Version number: 4.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: macros and commands for chemists
Announcement text:
changes with v4.0: - the packages `chemformula' and `ghsystem' do not load `chemmacros' any more which means they can be used independently. - the option `bpchem' has been dropped. - the commands \mch and \pch now match `chemformula's charges. - the option `method' has been dropped. - the option `append' has deprecated. - the option `greek' has been extended to support other uppercase greek letters, for example those provided by `kpfonts'. This is handled internally by the new package in the family: `chemgreek'. This package is not really a package for usage at a user-level but could in principle be used to extend the `greek' option. - language support is now done with the help of the `translations' package from the `exsheets' bundle. This means that with v4.0 the document language is recognized automatically. - the status of the commands \Lfi and \Dfi has been changed from /deprecated/ to /dropped/. - various other changes like bug fixes and improvements on the typographical appearance of `chemformula's inline formulae with \ch{}. - every package in the bundle got its own documentation file but the German and Italian version of the manuals are no longer provided
This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/chemmacros/ . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/chemmacros (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

chemmacros – A collection of macros to support typesetting chemistry documents
The bundle offers a collection of macros and commands which are intended to make typesetting chemistry documents faster and more convenient. Coverage includes some nomenclature commands, oxidation numbers, thermodynamic data, newman projections, etc.
The package relies on the following supporting packages:
- chemformula, providing a command for typesetting chemical formulae and reactions (doing a similar task to that of mhchem);
- chemgreek, offering support for use of greek letters; and
- ghsystem, providing for the UN globally harmonised chemical notation.
The packages are written using current versions of the experimental LaTeX 3 coding conventions and the LaTeX 3 support packages.
