nicefilelist
package.
Summary description: listfiles alignment with date and version columns
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the output from LaTeX's listfiles, `nicefilelist.sty'
keeps separate columns for (i) date, (ii) version, and
(iii) caption of LaTeX source files according to their
Provides... statements. The alignment is not disturbed by
long base filenames or short filename extensions such as
`.fd'. The specification is Martin Muench's.
v0.7 deals with another challenge from the latter:
a package option `[wrap]' provides automatic word wrapping
within the caption column, so filenames and captions can
be quite long without disturbing the alignment. For this
purpose, I finally resort to a package not invented here:
`hardwrap' by Will Robertson and Kevin Godby.
As opposed to the `dateiliste' package, this is in fact
about the plain text output in the .log file or, with the
`myfilist' package, as a stand-alone plain text file.

Summary description: A moderncv curriculum vitae class.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.2.0 (31 Oct 2012)
- updated the banking style header to include the option to show a title.
- set the values of arrayrulewidth and doublerulesep to their standard values (0.4pt and 2pt resp.) to enable the drawing of rules in tabulars and arrays by default.
- modified the code of makecvtitle and makelettertitle of the casual style to avoid it to cause horizontal alignment issues after and before itself.
- corrected a bug in makelettertitle of most styles that displayed the current date ( oday) instead of the date given through the date command, as reported by B. Schlimmchen and S. Fnord.
- removed the need to set pdfpagelabels=false when loading hyperref, by putting pagenumbering{arabic} (to define hepage) before loading hyperref, as figured out by J. Wolf.
- corrected the line wrapping of cvlistitem of the banking style.
- corrected a bug in makecvtitle and makelettertitle of the banking style.
- removed an unwanted space in the footer of the casual style.
- moved the font style definitions to moderncv.cls for better readability (moderncv.cls is meant to be a sort of header file, implementing only some macros shared by all styles and defining the macros that the style files need to implement).

Summary description: Drawing (linguistic) trees
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`forest' is a PGF/TikZ-based package for drawing linguistic (and other
kinds of) trees. Its main features are:
- a packing algorithm which can produce very compact trees;
- a user-friendly interface consisting of the familiar bracket
encoding of trees plus the key--value interface to option-setting;
- many tree-formatting options, with control over option values of
individual nodes and mechanisms for their manipulation;
- the possibility to decorate the tree using the full power of PGF/TikZ;
- an externalization mechanism sensitive to code-changes.

useful in case of a `too many math alphabets' situation.
* Various improvements in the documentation.
