Summary description: A modern curriculum vitae class
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.3.0 (09 Feb 2013)
- added a new environment to create multiple columns: cvcolumns. Each column is then created by cvcolumn[width]{header}{content}, where the optional width is given as a fraction of the total width (between 0 and 1). The header and content are robust and can contain any paragraph command (e.g., a nest itemize environment).
- added a macro (pdfpagemode) to control what is visible upon opening compiled pdfs (assuming pdf reader support), as suggested by U. Stöhr. Possible values include: UseNone (only the document), UseThumbs (show thumbnails), UseOutlines (show bookmarks) and FullScreen (open in fullscreen mode).
- added a 3rd, fully optional (can be omitted or left blank) argument to address to specify a country, as requested on launchpad (launchpad bug #1063995).
- compacted list environments further.
- replaced the usage of the xargs package by the xparse one.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
arara is a TeX automation tool based on rules and directives. It is, in some
aspects, similar to other well-known tools like Latexmk and rubber. The key
difference might be the fact that arara aims at exploiting metadata in the
source code, that is, explicit instructions in the source code in order to
determine what to do instead of relying on other resources, such as log file
analysis.
