sepfootnotes
package.
Summary description: Footnotes in separate file
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package allows the content of footnotes to be defined before their marks
are inserted in a document. Footnotes and endnotes can, thus, be easily grouped
together in a separate file, so that the main body is less cluttered.

On Tue, 6 Mar 2012 Markus Kohm submitted an update to the
koma-script
package.
Summary description: KOMA-Script a versatile LaTeX2e bundle
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It
aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not
stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the
possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working
environment.
Classes at KOMA-Script: scrartcl (article class), scrbook (book class), scrdoc
(internal), scrguide (internal), scrlettr (obsolete), scrlttr2 (letter class),
scrreprt (report class).
Packages at KOMA-Script: scraddr (handling of address files), scrbase (basic
features for class and package authors, e.g, key-value-options), scrdate (e.g.,
name of the day), scrextend (provides some KOMA-Script features for users of
other classes), scrfontsizes (developer help package to generate font size
files), scrhack (beta, improves some other packages), scrjura (beta, writing
laws, contracts etc.), scrkbase (sub-package used by KOMA-Script classes and
packages), scrlfile (manipulations while loading files, packages or classes),
scrpage (obsolete), scrpage2 (configuration and definition of page styles),
scrtime (output of current time), scrwfile (minimize number of write handles and
provide cloning of helper files), tocbasic (easy generation and handling of
table of contents and lists of floats), tocstyle (alpha), typearea (professional
type area and borders for ordinary persons).
Main documentation files: scrguide.pdf (German), scrguien.pdf (English),
scrhack.pdf (English), scrjura.pdf (German), tocstyle.pdf (English).
For a detailed list of changes see <http://www.komascript.de/release> (in
German) or <http://developer.berlios.de/project/showfiles.php?group_id=4307> (in
English) or simply the ChangeLog inside the bundle.

On Sat, 25 Feb 2012 Javier Bezos submitted the
soulpos
package.
Summary description: Fancy underlining
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package combines soul with the savepos mechanism provided by the pdftex
engine, so that you can create (almost) arbitrary underlining and similar
``decorations'', including rules, leaders and even pictures (pgf, pstricks,
etc.). Unlike soul underlines, which are built by repeating small elements, here
each chunk of text to be underlined is a single element.
