This package contains lot shortcut for serbian language
and, approx 5000 serbian word in cyrillic scripts with
hyphenations. The package is supplemented daily with new
words. The intention is to improve the layout of words on
the end of the line, given the fact that the babel
package, currently, does not completely satisfy the rules
relating to break Serbian words in Cyrillic script.

chemfig v0.3
2010/11/21
I'm sorry but the new features are not translated into
english yet.
Quoi d'neuf :
- Amélioration de definesubmol qui accepte les séquences de
contrôle. On peut aussi choisir un alias dont la substitution
est différente selon l'orientation de la liaison qui lui
arrive
dessus.
- Le caractère | force la fin d'un atome. Si on écrit D|ef
alors, chemfig verra deux atomes D et ef.
- Le caractère # est reconnu lorsqu'il suit un caractère de
liaison. Il doit être suivi d'un argument entre
parenthèses qui
contient l'offset de début et de fin qui s'appliqueront à
cette
liaison.
- La macro chemfig admet un argument optionnel qui sera passé à
l'environnement tikzpicture dans lequel elle est dessinée.
- Mise en place de la représentation des mécanismes réactionnels
avec la synatxe @{<nom>} devant un atome ou
@{<nom>,<coeff>} au tout début de l'argument d'une liaison.
Cette syntaxe permet de placer un nœud (au sens de tikz) qui
deviendra l'extrémité des flèches des mécanismes.
Le tracé des flèches est faite par la macro chemmove dont
l'argument optionnel devient celui de l'environnement
tikspicture dans lequel sont faites les flèches.
- Pour le mécanisme d'alignement vertical via le vphantom, la
commande chemskipalign permet d'ignorer le groupe d'atomes
dans lequel elle est écrite.
- La commande chemname permet d'afficher un nom sous une
molécule. la commande chemnameinit initialise la plus grande
profondeur rencontrée.
- La commande lewis a été modifiée de telle sorte que les
dessins des décorations soient proportionnels à la taille
de la
police.

Update summary:
Version 1.3b
This version of biblatex-dw was tested against biblatex 1.0,
but it should also work with versions from biblatex 0.9d.
The following changes were made to biblatex-dw:
- BUGFIX: Using pagetotal=false and citepages=separate, the
herename was printed as soon as the pagetotal field was
present (although the pagetotal field itself was not
printed). This is now fixed, and the citepages option
pays attention to the pagetotal option.
- In order to match as closely as possible to biblatex
itself, the citenamepunct command was renamed to
ametitledelim. For compatibility reasons with earlier
versions of biblatex-dw, the citenamepunct was kept.
Thus, it does not matter if you redefine
ametitledelim
or citenamepunct, the effect will be the same; but note
that the citenamepunct may be dropped in later versions
of biblatex-dw.
- In full citations
ametitledelim is used instead of
labelnamepunct.
- Improvements regarding idem functionality in combination
with xref=true.
- Improved the documentation.
Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.

Caption: Humanities styles for biblatex.
Description: A small collection of styles for the biblatex package.
It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some
features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles.
Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.9d) and
cannot be used without it.

I've uploaded biblatex.tar.gz and biblatex.tds.zip to the incoming
directory of the UK node. This is an update for
macros/latex/exptl/biblatex. Since this is the first officially stable
release, it's time to move out of the exptl branch and I'd like to ask
you to do the following:
* Install the upload in macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/
* Purge macros/latex/exptl/biblatex/ and replace it with a
link to the new location.
* Proceed in a similar way when installing the TDS archive, i.e.:
install/macros/latex/exptl/ => install/macros/latex/contrib/
RELEASE NOTES
This is the long-awaited first stable release of biblatex. Please see
the file RELEASE for release notes.
CHANGES
Please refer to the full list at the end of biblatex.pdf and to the
release notes.
i've installed the new version and updated the catalogue repository.
the simple volume of work involved caused me to fail (in a fit of
absent-mindedness) to send an announcement yesterday: my apologies for
that.
Users may view the package's catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/biblatex.html
or browse the package's directory at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/
The catalogue entry is already up to date, because of my delay in
announcing.
