License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.2.0 (31 Oct 2012)
- updated the banking style header to include the option to show a title.
- set the values of arrayrulewidth and doublerulesep to their standard values (0.4pt and 2pt resp.) to enable the drawing of rules in tabulars and arrays by default.
- modified the code of makecvtitle and makelettertitle of the casual style to avoid it to cause horizontal alignment issues after and before itself.
- corrected a bug in makelettertitle of most styles that displayed the current date ( oday) instead of the date given through the date command, as reported by B. Schlimmchen and S. Fnord.
- removed the need to set pdfpagelabels=false when loading hyperref, by putting pagenumbering{arabic} (to define hepage) before loading hyperref, as figured out by J. Wolf.
- corrected the line wrapping of cvlistitem of the banking style.
- corrected a bug in makecvtitle and makelettertitle of the banking style.
- removed an unwanted space in the footer of the casual style.
- moved the font style definitions to moderncv.cls for better readability (moderncv.cls is meant to be a sort of header file, implementing only some macros shared by all styles and defining the macros that the style files need to implement).

Summary description: Drawing (linguistic) trees
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`forest' is a PGF/TikZ-based package for drawing linguistic (and other
kinds of) trees. Its main features are:
- a packing algorithm which can produce very compact trees;
- a user-friendly interface consisting of the familiar bracket
encoding of trees plus the key--value interface to option-setting;
- many tree-formatting options, with control over option values of
individual nodes and mechanisms for their manipulation;
- the possibility to decorate the tree using the full power of PGF/TikZ;
- an externalization mechanism sensitive to code-changes.
