François Pantigny submitted an update to the nicematrix package. Version: 7.2 2025-08-05 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Improve the typesetting of mathematical matrices with PGF Announcement text:

A new key 'V' has been added for a specifier of column 'X'. That 'V' stands for 'varwidth'. When it's used, A column of type 'V' of 'varwidth' is used for the column with a (maximal) width computed by the 'X'-process. Correction of several minor bugs.

nicematrix – Improve the typesetting of mathematical matrices with PGF

This package is based on the package array. It creates PGF/TikZ nodes under the cells of the array and uses these nodes to provide functionalities to construct tabulars, arrays and matrices.

Among the features :

continuous dotted lines for the mathematical matrices;
exterior rows and columns (so-called border matrices);
control of the width of the columns;
tools to color rows and columns with a good PDF result;
blocks of cells;
tabular notes;
etc.

The package requires and loads array, amsmath, pgfcore, and the module shapes of PGF.
