Summary description: Classes and themes for faculty NXT (Reutlingen University)

Announcement text: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
nxtlatex 1.3 provides LaTeX classes and themes for the faculty
NXT Sustainability and Technology at Reutlingen University: a thesis
class, a letter class option and a Beamer theme. All components
require LuaLaTeX.

Changes in version 1.3:

- nxtthesis is now based on the standard class report instead of
KOMA-Script scrreprt. With \DocumentMetadata{..., tagging=on} it
produces tagged, accessible PDFs; veraPDF confirms PDF/UA-2 for all
twelve font options and for the example thesis. When tagging is
active, the class loads the tagging support for listings. Layout
and appearance are unchanged; \subtitle, \addchap and \addsec are
still available.

- The declaration of academic integrity follows the faculty's
guideline of December 2025, including the required statement on AI
tools (option ki=...) and an optional partner university.

- New class options: richtlinie (the faculty's mandatory layout),
kapitaelchen (headings in small caps) and logo, plus seven new font
options (now twelve). With the option english, the title page is now
in English as well.

- Lists of abbreviations (\akronym, based on acro) and symbols
(\Symbol, \printsymbols); \kapitaelchen sets small caps only where
the current font shape has them.

- The NXT logos are now glyphs in the included NXT Logo Font 1.0 (OFL),
taken unchanged from the faculty's corporate design. No download is
needed any more. The logo macros support all colour schemes of the
corporate design, including CMYK, and provide alternative texts.

- Title, author and language are written to the PDF metadata; PDF/A
via \DocumentMetadata no longer produces a duplicate OutputIntent.

- nxtbrief now uses fontawesome5, and the package ships a TDS archive,
so nxtbrief.lco is installed where TeX finds it. The Beamer theme
file is now named beamerthemeNXT.sty, matching \usetheme{NXT}.

- A complete example thesis with sources and a German introduction to
LaTeX with the class (PDF) are included. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
