calctab package - A language for numeric tables
version 0.6 update - 2009/03/28
The calctab package helps the user to typeset a kind of

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: Update to Version 2.0
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The svn-multi package got updated and now includes a good
amount of
new fancy features:
Keyword/File groups:
Several files (actually their keywords) can be grouped
together and
the latest revision information of each group can be typeset
anywhere
in the document.
Support for External Files:
External files can be declared inside the document and their
keywords
can be included using the provided Perl script
svn-multi.pl. This
files count as part of the current file and group.
Table of Revisions:
A table of revisions can be produced and included which
holds the
revision information of the complete document, the declared
groups and all files.
Automatic Declaration of Images as External Files:
To not have the trouble of declaring all included images
manually as
external files an feature is provided to handle them
automatically.
Currently the 'graphics' (includes 'graphicx') and the 'pgf'
package
is supported.
Automatic Declaration of all Files as Subgroups:
All input files can be automatically declared as subgroups
(in addition to normal groups) to allow the access of their
revision
information anywhere in the document.
New Style of the Package Manual:
The package manual style got redesigned and hyperlinks
between the
macro description and implementation were added. Additional
information for the implementation were provided.
All this features can be enabled using package options (some
depend on each other) to minimize memory usage.
This package can also be downloaded from its new project
website:

version 1.2g
- Option 'journalnumber' replaces 'journumafteryear'. The
option was enhanced and can now take the values
'standard', 'afteryear' and 'date'. The value 'standard'
is the same as the old journumafteryear=false,
'afteryear' is the same as the old journumafteryear=true.
The new value 'date' assures that the date is printed,
even if the field issue is given (this is not the case in
the standard styles). Additionally, 'journalnumber=date'
prints the number before the date, if the date (at least
year and month) is given, but it prints the number after
the year, if only the year is given (i.e. if the date is
not further specified). See the documentation for
details. The default is 'journalnumber=standard'.
- Improved german-dw.lbx.
- Adjusted the documentation for screen reading. A printer

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:
Name of contribution: mcaption v3.0
Author's name: Stephan Hennig
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mcaption/
Summary description: Put captions into the outer document margin.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides a margincap environment that puts
captions into the outer document margin.
This is an incompatible update to the mcaption package!
Changes:
---------------
v3.0 2009/03/13
---------------
New:
* Obey caption and label commands inside margincap
(at last!).
* Macro margincapalign is deprecated (no longer
necessary for tabular declarations).
* New compatibility option `v2.2'.
Incompatible changes:
* Environment margincap has no arguments. A
compatibility option exists, that restores the old
syntax with caption arguments.
* The mcaption package requires package changepage
to be installed (instead of chngpage).
* Complete revision of the vertical alignment
mechanism. Paragraph-breaking might be affected
(hopefully only to the better).
Fixed:
* In one-sided documents chngpage/changepage's
even/odd page detection was subtly broken by the
mcaption package.
