Scott Pakin submitted an update to the
dashrule
package.
Summary description: Draw dashed rules
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of
dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a
command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's
ule
and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws
horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as
ule,
but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that
specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between
those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed
internally using
ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript
specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX
back-end processor.
Version 1.3 fixes a small bug that introduced spurious
spaces into the output.

Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Babel 3.9b version fixes lots of bugs and adds some new features (intended
mainly to make it compatible with Unicode engines). Some bugs have not been
fixed to avoid backward incompatibilities, but they have been documented. Most
of the new features (like package options) are intended to overcome issues in
previous releases without changing significantly the behaviour of Babel.
Starting with this version, babel has been separated in a core (or base) part,
and contributed language-specific packages.
The core part is located in the subdirectory base, the contrib part is actually
a link into CTAN's macros/latex/contrib subtree.
