I apologize; there was an outage on the machine that houses http://www.ctan.org and ftp://tug.ctan.org and I was unaware so it was down for some time. I believe that it is fixed now. It seems that someone went in my ceiling and did something bad to my power. Fortunately, the power strip died to save the box, and the box appeared to come back up fine. Power strip, we salute you!

On Fri, 7 Sep 2007, Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an improved and enhanced version of the caption package 3. It was adapted to the AMS, beamer, KOMA, NTG, and SMF document classes, the french babel & the frenchle/pro packages; furthermore it supports the floatflt, fltpage, picinpar, picins, threeparttable, and wrapfig package now. Additionally it's now more compatible to version 1.x of the caption package than its precursor. Due to an internal change on how it patches the caption relevant commands, it's also more compatible to the document classes and packages it supports now (and offers an integrated hypcap functionality), but unfortunately also more incompatible to the ones it does not support (yet). Please read the doc for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/caption/ .

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and the changes should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: pst-optexp Author's name: Christoph Bersch Location on CTAN: /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp Summary description: A PSTricks package to draw optical experimental setups License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package pst-optexp is a collection of optical components that facilitate easy sketching of optical experimental setups. Mechanisms for proper alignment of different components are provided internally. This way the user does not have to care for proper orientation of the elements. Changes in v1.1: * Considerably enhanced labeling of the components. Added new parameter 'labelref' which specifies the reference coordinate system for the label positioning and the rotation of the label. Default is labelref=relgrav, the label point is rotated together with the component, but the label text itself is not rotated. * parameter labelrelative is now obsolete, and replaced by labelref=relative. It will be removed in future versions. * parameter polwidth, bswidth, iwidth and owidth are now obsolete, and replaced by polsize, bssize, innerheight and outerheight for consistency reasons. They will be removed in future versions. * macro polarisation was changed to polarization for consistency reasons. The old notation is obsolete and will be removed in future versions. * fixed bug: filling of all components with 'fillstyle' is now possible. * fixed bug: added some liftpen=1 in the code to fix the look of the lenses and the optgrid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp .
