----------------------------------------------------------------------
Update of the sseq package for drawing spectral sequence charts to version 2.0. It now
uses pgf graphics instead of xypic, resulting in nicer output and less inexplicable
behavior. Many new options and features; consult the manual. Compatible to previous
versions 1.0x

On Tue, 7 Apr 2009 John Smith submitted an update to the
accfonts
package.
Location on CTAN: /fonts/utilities/accfonts
Summary description: Utilities to derive new fonts from existing ones
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The accfonts package contains three utilities to permit easy manipulation
of fonts, in particular the creation of unusual accented characters.
Mkt1font works on Adobe Type 1 fonts, vpl2vpl works on TeX virtual fonts
and vpl2ovp transforms a TeX font to an Omega one. All three programs
read in a font (either the font itself or a property list), together with a
simple definition file containing lines such as ‘128 z acute’; they then write
out a new version of the font with the requested new characters in the
numerical slots specified. Great care is taken over the positioning of
accents, and over the provision of kerning information for new characters;
mkt1font also generates suitable “hints” to enhance quality at small sizes
or poor resolutions. The programs are written in Perl.
See the file CHANGES for information about this update.

Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/IEEEconf
Summary description: Class file for IEEE Computer Society conference proceedings
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The IEEEconf class implements the formatting dictated by the IEEE
Computer Society Press for conference proceedings
(ftp://pubftp.computer.org/press/outgoing/proceedings/instruct8.5x11.pdf).
IEEEconf.cls replaces latex8.sty and is compatible with any BibTeX
style, not just latex8.bst. The goal was to produce a more faithful
implementation of the formatting rules and to do so with cleaner LaTeX
code than that provided by the latex8.* files.
Version 1.4 of IEEEconf.cls includes a few changes to better match the
IEEE Computer Society Press's latest formatting requirements, a
latex8 class option that retains latex8.sty's incorrect but more
space-efficient title formatting, and support for the onecolumn
class option in case an author wants to use the multicolumn package
along with the IEEEconf class. Thanks to Oliver Kopp for proposing
latex8 and onecolumn support and for helping with testing.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The package supports typesetting documents whose counters
are represented in base twelve, also called “dozenal”. It
includes a macro by David Kastrup for converting positive
whole numbers to dozenal from decimal (base ten)
representation. The package also also includes a few other
macros and redefines all the standard counters to produce
dozenal output. Bugs in the original redefinition of these
standards counters have been resolved.
Fonts, in Roman, italic, slanted, and boldface versions,
provide ten and eleven (the Pitman characters preferred by
the Dozenal Society of Great Britain). The fonts were
designed to blend well with the Computer Modern fonts.

On Thu, 2 Apr 2009 Martin Gieseking submitted an update to the
dvisvgm
package.
Location on CTAN: /dviware/dvisvgm
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts DVI files to SVG.
The latest release introduces a caching mechanism for
vectorized bitmap fonts. The slowest part during a DVI to
SVG conversion using dvisvgm is the call of Metafont and the
following vectorization of its bitmap output. To increase
the conversion speed in this area, dvisvgm now keeps
information about the vectorized glyphs in cache files for
future usage. This avoids multiple Metafont calls for the
same fonts as well as repeated vectorizations of the same
glyphs.
To reduce the length of font path description a bit, dvisvgm
now generates SVG shorthand path commands if possible.

and pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project

On Wed, 1 Apr 2009 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
pdfcomment
package.
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.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/svn-multi/
Summary description: Update to version 2.1 - Automatic extraction of keyword values
from Subversion working directory
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This version adds the possibility to extract the needed
version control keyword values of LaTeX or external files
directly from the Subversion working directory. This feature
avoids the need for an external script to generate the
keyword definitions for external files (a feature introduced
by v2.0) and can also be used to make id macro completely
redundant.
This feature must be explicitly enabled using the 'autokw'
(Auto-Keywords) option. It only works with valid Subversion
working directories from Subversion v1.4 or newer but not
with exported or downloaded files.
Technical Informations:
A TeX parser for the '.svn/entries' file which is located in
every Subversion working copy/directory is added. The
working copy format versions 8, i.e. Subversion v1.4, or
higher should be supported. The implementation was tested
with Subversion 1.5.1 under Ubuntu 8.10.
Users which encounter parsing errors or wrong results should
not hesitate to send bugreports with information about the
used Subversion version and platform to the author.
Bugfixes:
The version 2.0 released earlier this week erroneously
changed the document date (e.g. oday) to the package
release date. This has been fixed in this version.

Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style
file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define
LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes
indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines
LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability.
Version 1.8 of PerlTeX adds support for creating documents that can
build either with or without PerlTeX. Specifically, the new
optional package option tells PerlTeX not to issue an error message
if Perl is inaccessible, and the new ifperl macro checks if Perl is
accessible, thereby letting the author define fallback
macros/environments if it's not.

This package lets you typeset keywords of the version
control systems RCS or CVS inside your LaTeX files anywhere
you like. Unlike the otherwise similar package rcs the use
of multiple files for one LaTeX document is well supported.
This package is based on 'svn-multi' and got modified to
support RCS instead of Subversion.
