Version number: v0.3
Author's name: Martin Scharrer
Summary description: Update to v0.3: Automatic sub-preamble inclusion inside the
main preamble
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This update brings some exciting new options for the
'standalone' package. Using these options the preamble code
of the sub-files can not only be skipped but extracted into
an auxiliary file (.sta) which is then loaded by the main
document during the next LaTeX run.
The body content of the sub-files is skipped during the
first run to avoid compile errors.
To avoid option clashes of loaded packages all package
option can be extracted first and predefined using
'PassOptionsToPackage'.
Alternatively the sub-preambles can be simply printed
(without special macros added by 'standalone') into a
different auxiliary file (.stp) for easy manual copy&paste
into the main document. If requested a list of required
packages and pgf, tikz and tikz-timing libraries can be
printed avoiding duplicates.
New macros:
onlyifstandalone{<code>} Used to hide code from the
sub-preamble code extractor.
standaloneignore Can be used to ignore code before the
'documentclass' of sub-files.

On Thu, 25 Mar 2010 Martin Gieseking submitted an update to the
dvisvgm
package.
Summary description: dvisvgm 0.9 has been released
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts DVI files to
SVG.
The latest version 0.9 introduces a new command-line option
to compute the exact bounding boxes of each glyph instead of
relying on the TFM values. This prevents clipped characters
at the edges of the SVG graphic.
For further information including a list of recent changes
and pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project
page http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net
