Alain Matthes submitted an update to the
tkz-elements
package.
Version: 4.50c 2026-01-25

Summary description: A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
Announcement text:
New in version 4.50c Introduction of the angle class (experimental), providing a dedicated object for oriented and non-oriented angles. Introduction of the list_point class (experimental), a container for ordered collections of points. Improvements and fixes across core classes (circle, line, point, quadrilateral, conic). New matrix algorithms (gauss_jordan, rank) and rewritten triangle angle handling. Ongoing documentation restructuring, with systematic tables of attributes and methods, cross-referenced throughout the manual. The new classes angle and list_point are marked as experimental: their interfaces are stable enough for use, but they are not yet fully integrated into all parts of the ecosystem.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/tkz-elements The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tkz/tkz-elements/

tkz-elements – A Lua library for drawing Euclidean geometry with TikZ or tkz-euclide
This package provides a library written in Lua, allowing to make all the necessary calculations to define the objects of a Euclidean geometry figure. You need to compile with LuaLaTeX. The definitions and calculations are only done with Lua.
The main possibility of programming proposed is oriented “object programming” with object classes like point, line, triangle, circle and now, conic. For the moment, once the calculations are done, it is tkz-euclide or TikZ which allows the drawings.
