On Tue, 9 Aug 2011 Pavel Farar submitted the
dejavu
package.
Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu
License type: other-free
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. They are derived
from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles.
The fonts are included in the original TrueType format and converted
Type 1 format.
The (currently) supported encodings are: OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2.
The package (currently) supports neither Greek nor math. More encodings
and/or features will come later.
The fonts are licensed under the Vera and Arev licenses, DejaVu changes
are in the public domain. All the support files are released under the
LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or
(at your option) any later version. The files released under the LaTeX
Project Public License are listed in manifest.txt.
The main reason why I created this package is that I am not satisfied
with the Arev and Bera packages for the Czech language, but some problems
are not just Czech-related. Moreover, you get more characters and styles.
Documentation: README, dejavu.pdf (package documentation),
dejavu-sample.pdf (font samples)

thumbs
package.
Summary description: This LaTeX package allows to create one or more customizable thumb index(es), providing a quick and easy reference methode for large documents.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Now using the pagecolor package. Empty thumb marks now inherit their colour from the pages's background. Option pagecolor is therefore obsolete.
- New kinds of thumb mark overview pages introduced additionally to humbsoverview: humbsoverviewback, humbsoverviewverso, and humbsoverviewdouble.
- New option hidethumbs=true to hide thumb marks (and their overview page(s)).
- Option ignorehoffset did not work for the thumb marks overview page(s) - neither true nor false; fixed.

On Thu, 11 Aug 2011 H.-Martin Münch submitted an update to the
pageslts
package.
Summary description: pagesLTS has been replaced by pageslts
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The mixed case filenames (ie. pagesLTS.*) have been replaced by pageslts.*.
Please make sure to uninstall the old package (with files named pagesLTS.*)
before reinstalling pageslts.
This is important on monocase operating systems like Windows, where, if
pagesLTS.sty still exists, trying to write to pageslts.sty will overwrite
pagesLTS.sty instead.
Sorry for any inconvenience.
