On Thu, 29 Oct 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
pdfcomment
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment
Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting
arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in
a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is
indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions
in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe
Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a
convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments
in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports:
LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX.
Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to
nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is
Adobe Reader.

Changes in v1.5:
- new command listofpdfcomments
feature request by: Michael Niedermair
- revision of documentation

On Mon, 26 Oct 2009 Paul Ebermann submitted an update to the package
dateiliste
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dateiliste
Summary description: Extensions of the listfiles concept.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package provides a file list (similar to that offered by listfiles ),
neatly laid out as a table. The main document can be included in the
list, and a command is available for providing RCS-maintained data for
printing in the file list.
Version 0.4 corrects a bug in the encoding of the german list preamble,
which rendered the package unusable in UTF8-encoded main file. Now it
should work in any (ASCII-based) encoding.
Thanks to Michael Niedermair for the bug report.
