On Sun, 24 Jul 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the
newverbs
package.
Summary description: New macros to collect macro arguments verbatim
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update provides the new macros `collectverb` and `Collectverb` which
allow other macros to collect an argument verbatim to either typeset or write it
into an auxiliary file, respectively.
A `Verbdef` macro is provided to define verbatim text to a macro which can be
used for writing the text to auxiliary files.
This differs from the `verbdef` macro from the `verbdef` package which defines
macros with a typesetable version of the verbatim text which cannot be written
to auxiliary files.

jvlisting
package.
Summary description: a replacement for LaTeX's verbatim package
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides the LaTeX environment 'listing', an alternative to the
built-in 'verbatim' environment. The 'listing' environment is specially
taylored for including listings of computer program source code into documents.
The main advantages over the original 'verbatim' environment are that 'listing'
environments automatically fix leading white-space so that the environment and
program listing can be indented with the rest of the document source and that
'listing' environments can easily be customised and extended.

We've gone ahead with the network release of TeX Live 2011 (as some
people have already noticed :). It is now or will be soon available
from CTAN sites (http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive). As with last
year, we recommend doing a network install in one way or another instead
of downloading the large (2+gb) .iso -- see
http://tug.org/texlive/acquire.html for a discussion of the various
alternatives.
Package updates will restart in another day or two.
If anyone notices stale or missing information on the TL web pages, or
problems with the release, please report as usual.
MacTeX 2011 (http://tug.org/mactex) and proTeXt 3.0 for 2011
(http://tug.org/protext) have also been released and are available from
CTAN.
The TeX Collection DVD with all the above will be released as soon as
possible; hopefully, it will go out in August.
Happy TeXing,
Karl
