Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/attachfile
Summary description: Attach arbitrary files to a PDF document
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Starting with PDF 1.3 (Adobe Acrobat 4.0), PDF files can contain file
attachments -- arbitrary files that a reader can extract, just like
attachments to an e-mail message. The attachfile package brings this
functionality to pdfLaTeX and provides some additional features not
available in Acrobat, such as the ability to use arbitrary LaTeX code
for the file icon -- including things like includegraphics, tabular,
and math. Settings can be made either globally or on a per-
attachment
basis. attachfile makes it easy to attach files and customize their
appearance in the enclosing document.
Version 1.5 of attachfile is a minor update that enables macro
expansion in the attachment filename. For example, an author can
now
use jobname in the name of a file to attach.

Name of contribution: cleveref
Version number: 0.17.4
Author's name: Toby Cubitt
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/
Summary description: Intelligent cross-referencing
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This release fixes a serious bug introduced in version
0.17.3, affecting hyperref support. With hyperref loaded, it
would sometimes produce incorrect cross-reference names,
without any warning in the log or output.
Any users of that short-lived version should upgrade
immediately (or downgrade to an earlier version; old
versions are always available from
www.dr-qubit.org/latex.php). Apologies to anyone unlucky
enough to have downloaded that version. This one slipped
through the net.
To make some amends for this mess, this version includes
improved support for the alisacnt package as a bonus.

specifications.

Update summary:
........................................................................
This version should be used with biblatex 0.9c Most notable changes in
this update:
* Biber::BibTeX moved to Biber::Input::BibTeX. If
upgrading, please remove your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX.pm
* New aliases for EPRINT classes and types implemented (see BibLaTeX docs)
* Biber now resolves XREFs as well as CROSSREFs so one less LaTeX pass
is needed
* Allows UTF-8 citekeys. Requires Text::BibTeX >= 0.46 and a
fully Unicode-aware engine (XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX).
* RecDescent parser is no longer supported or included. If upgrading, please remove your
installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX directory
* Now requires LaTeX::Decode >= 0.03
* Stricter version dependency for Text::BibTeX.
Older than 0.42 is rather useless for complex names.
* Re-factored and enhanced auto-re-encoding of .bib/.bbl. With biblatex 0.9c, Biber
handles all reencoding.
* Misc bug fixes
