Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
etoc
package.
Summary description: easily customizable TOCs
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.06
1. With previous versions, macros such as l@section
recovered their standard meanings only in compatibility mode
at the time of typesetting TOCs. With this version, it is
the opposite: macros such as l@section or l@subsection
have throughout the document their standard meanings, which
means that they can be customized (even if no package has
added to them customizing hooks) and that the compatibility
mode of etoc will obey this.
2. The .toc file is now read into memory at the time of
usepackage{etoc} and it is opened for write operation at
the first TOC typesetting command. Prior, both happened at
the egin{document}.
3. The commands added by the package to the .toc file are
declared to the external world to do nothing. Hence some
other package can also load the .toc file (this must happen
before the first typeset TOC) and execute its contents.
(related to the point 2 above.)
4. A number of superfluous global's and a few gdef's,
which were left-overs from the war against bugs in the
developing stages of the code, were removed.
5. The documentation has been updated and improved. An
unclear statement about secnumdepth has been corrected.

One sets tags in the source with commands such as oftagstart{A,B,C,D}

has oftagthis{A,E}, ofuntagthis{C,D}.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR CHANGES:
- Wiki-like syntax announced before moves from personal/
experimental `texblog.fdf' to `blogligs.sty' and
`markblog.sty', properly documented in `blog.pdf'.
Moreover, the HTML file `markblog.htm' provides an
overview of the wiki features (and the source code in
`markblog.tex' may demonstrate the syntax too).
- `markblog.sty' and `texlinks.sty' together emulate
Wikipedia's piped links ([[Pipeline|Pipe]],
[[Pipe (computing)|]])
- HALFWAY-MAJOR CHANGES:
- `blog.sty' v0.8:
- indicating DOCTYPE
- commands for various head (meta) element entries
- abbr,
ewabbr, stylespan (for CSS), extup,
underbar, xmleltcode, xmleltattrcode;
ewlet
- arrows and quotes completed, currencies, small fractions
- other additional symbols
- modified code spaces with declared attributes
- using `langcode.sty'
- symbols restructured
- documentation fixes
- `blogexec.sty' v0.2:
- MakeBlogBeginRun revised
- new ChangeBlogBeginRun and CopyBlogBeginRun
- actually, I had failed to upload v0.1!
- `texlinks.sty' v0.7:
- links to http://tug.org/interest.html
- smart parsing for linking to mailing list postings,
based on `langcode.sty'
- ctanpkgstyref adds `.sty'
- documentation fixes
MINOR CHANGES:
- `README' corrected
- `atari_ht.fdf' uses MakeActiveLet from `catcodes' bundle
- `blogdot.sty' v0.41 modifies/corrects startscreenpage and
documentation (Firefox 12 change?)
- `srcfiles.tex' applies `filesdo.sty' for `filedate' checks
- `texblog.fdf' contains really private and experimental
code anyway and thus changes within every few days ...
