Rainer Schöpf
juergen spitzmueller found a bug in sebastian rahtz's rotating package,
which i now maintain. i have now mended the bug (which i introduced),
and i have installed a new version of the package on ctan (note that a
file rotating.tds.zip also exists, for the convenience of those who
maintain their own systems).
users may visit the catalogue entry for the package at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html
or browse the package directory on the archive at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/
i have updated the catalogue entry in the repository, and the link above
will be updated overnight, but is unlikely to deceive in any important
way before then.

Name of contribution: svn-multi
Author's name: Martin Scharrer
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/svn-multi/
Summary description: Update to version 2.1 - Automatic extraction of keyword values
from Subversion working directory
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This version adds the possibility to extract the needed
version control keyword values of LaTeX or external files
directly from the Subversion working directory. This feature
avoids the need for an external script to generate the
keyword definitions for external files (a feature introduced
by v2.0) and can also be used to make id macro completely
redundant.
This feature must be explicitly enabled using the 'autokw'
(Auto-Keywords) option. It only works with valid Subversion
working directories from Subversion v1.4 or newer but not
with exported or downloaded files.
Technical Informations:
A TeX parser for the '.svn/entries' file which is located in
every Subversion working copy/directory is added. The
working copy format versions 8, i.e. Subversion v1.4, or
higher should be supported. The implementation was tested
with Subversion 1.5.1 under Ubuntu 8.10.
Users which encounter parsing errors or wrong results should
not hesitate to send bugreports with information about the
used Subversion version and platform to the author.
Bugfixes:
The version 2.0 released earlier this week erroneously
changed the document date (e.g. oday) to the package
release date. This has been fixed in this version.

Author's name: Scott Pakin

Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style
file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define
LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes
indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines
LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability.
Version 1.8 of PerlTeX adds support for creating documents that can
build either with or without PerlTeX. Specifically, the new
optional package option tells PerlTeX not to issue an error message
if Perl is inaccessible, and the new ifperl macro checks if Perl is
accessible, thereby letting the author define fallback
macros/environments if it's not.

Summary description: Typeset exercises, problems, etc. and their answers
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package helps to typeset exercises or list of exercises
within any document.
Exercises, questions, sub-questions are automatically
numbered. It is possible to put answers in the same
document, and display them immediatly, later in the document
or not at all.
The layout of exercise is fully customisable. It is then
possible to typeset long problems, short exercises,
questionnaires, etc.
Usage of the babel package is detected, but not fully
supported by now (only english, spanish and french are
implemented).
New in v1.3 : Spanish support added
List of exercices support
