\item {\tt libertine} loads different versions of math italic and bold math italic based on \textsf{Libertine} rather than \textsf{Times}---the {\tt varg} option is disabled in this case, as the equivalent variant forms are made available by default;

{\tt cmintegrals} instructs \textsf{newtxmath} to load a thicker version of the Computer Modern integral in place of the \textsf{newtxmath} default---the txfonts integral (identical to the integral in the Wolfram fonts), which is not to everyone's taste---a consequence is that none of the special forms of \textsf{txfonts} integrals are available;

allows you to use the forms \verb|\iint|, \verb|\iiint|, \verb|\iiiint| and \verb|\idotsint| defined in {\tt amsmath}, but using the pumped-up Computer Modern integral loaded by {\tt newtxmath}.
-\item {\tt amssymbols} (the default) and {\tt noamssymbols} determine whether the {\tt txfonts} versions of the \textsc{ams} symbols ({\tt msam}, {\tt msbm}) are loaded---if so, they override previous settings in {\tt amsmath}.
\item {\tt uprightGreek} and {\tt slantedGreek} determine the form of Greek alphabet loaded---the default is {\tt uprightGreek}, which loads upright uppercase and slanted lowercase Greek symbols, as is customary in Anglo-American mathematical typesetting. With the option {\tt slantedGreek}, which you might want to use if you cared about ISO standards, all Greek symbols are slanted. No matter which is set, \verb|\Gammaup| (or \verb|\upGamma|) gives you upright \verb|\Gamma|, etc.
\item The option {\tt cmbraces} instructs {\tt newtxmath} to ignore the brace collections from {\tt txfonts}, substituting a collection based on thickened versions of the Computer Modern braces, which I find much easier to distinguish from other delimiters. This works quite well in regular weight but looks a bit clunky in bold.
+\item The \textsf{newtxmath} package, like the original \textsf{txfonts}, contains two different Blackboard Bold alphabets, the default, triggered by \verb|\mathbb{}|, takes its glyphs from the font which replaces {\tt msam} and has the same overall appearance of a hollowed-out text font, which I find neither bold not blackboard-like. The other option, triggered by \verb|\varmathbb{}|, is more geometric and, in my opinion, preferable. The option {\tt varbb} makes \verb|\mathbb{}| behave like \verb|\varmathbb{}|.
+\item {\tt amssymbols} (the default) and {\tt noamssymbols} determine whether the {\tt txfonts} versions of the \textsc{ams} symbols ({\tt msam}, {\tt msbm}) are loaded---if so, they override previous settings in {\tt amsmath}. If you use the option {\tt noamssymbols}, then \verb|\mathbb{}| is set to mean the same as \verb|\varmathbb{}|. (One advantage of {\tt noamssymbols} is that you save two of your precious math families for other purposes, such as setting a couple of external math alphabets by means of the \textsf{mathalfa} package.)
