The package below has been updated and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: vc bundle Author's name: Stephan Hennig Location on CTAN: /support/vc Summary description: version control for TeX and friends License type: pd Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The vc bundle ---------------------- This is a script based approach to version control for TeX documents. It works more reliably than keyword substitution based approaches, since it tracks all files in a working copy, not only .tex files. The vc bundle works with LaTeX and plain TeX. Currently, Bazaar, Git and Subversion are supported. v0.4 (2008-04-10) ---------------------- Incompatibel changes: * Search for local modifications only at request (relevant to macro VCRevisionMod, see appendix B). Changes: * Again improved locale handling. * Improved compatibility for Subversion within Msys shell. * Improved documentation: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/vc .

CTAN Update: minipage-marginpar
by CTAN Announcements 08 Apr '08

08 Apr '08

On Mon, 7 Apr 2008 Paul Ebermann submitted an update to the minipage-marginpar package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/minipage-marginpar Summary description: Package-update: minipage-marginpar (bugfix and namechange) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package allows marginpar -commands inside of minipages and other boxes. (It takes another approach than marginnote by Markus Kohm: it saves all marginpar -commands and typesets them outside (i.e., after) the box.) Version 0.3 fixes a bug, which caused marginpars of some kind only appearing on odd pages, not even ones. In my documents I don't have much of those, so I remarked it only now, nearly two years after version 0.2 (which introduced this bug, fixing another one). At the same time, i decided to change the name of the package files from mpgmpar to minipage-marginpar, as already is the CTAN directory name. (There is a compatibility style file, which simply loads the new one.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/minipage-marginpar . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?minipage-marginpar (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).

by CTAN Announcements 07 Apr '08

07 Apr '08

On Sun, 6 Apr 2008, Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. The package supersedes caption2. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions of floating environments License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix release of the caption package bundle: - English documentation revised - German documentation finished! - ablecaption* does not increment the table counter anymore - ameref & autoref work for supertabulars now, too - Support of the xtab package added ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/caption/ .
