the daemon is staggering slightly with the weight of updates ahead of the tex live freeze, but it still managed: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: fontspec > Author's name: Will Robertson > Location on CTAN: contrib/latex/fontspec > Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Just when I thought the final release for TeX Live 2010 was done, a > couple more issues arose.

CTAN update: The mh bundle
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jul '10

that daemon keeps finding things, and confusing me: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: The mh bundle > Author's name: Lars Madsen > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/mh/ > Summary description: Updates for the mh bundle > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Updates for the MH bundle: > > mathstyle: typo in currentstyle > > flexisym: fixed a problem with the capital greek letters in the > support files for mathpazo and mathptmx. > > mathtools: several bugfixes and some new macros, including an extended > version of DeclarePairedDelimiter which can create delimited macros > with several arguments. A 'right' version of cases is also added. > > There are currently two open bugs in mathtools. If used with ntheorem > loaded with the thmmarks option, the showonlyrefs feature may behave > oddly. In the mathtools manual a fix is indicated (loading empheq with > specific options, before ntheorem). > > Secondly there is a bug with centercolon if used in combination with a > language that use an active colon, e.g. french.

Thus there is no fix to this problem in the general case. thanks for the upload; i have installed the files and updated the catalogue repository entries. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/mh.html (and linked entries for flexisym and mathtools) > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mh/ the web versions of the catalogue entries will be updated overnight tonight.

tug.ctan.org upload is down for a while
by CTAN Announcements 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

The upload facilities at tug.ctan.org will be down for a couple of days. Saint Michael's College hosts the site and is running network testing that may lead to spotty availability. That in turn could make newly-installed materials unavailable to mirrors. Anyway, it should all be back by Fri. Jim
