Uwe Lück submitted an update to the
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.

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).

Uwe Lück submitted an update to the
adhocfilelist
package.
Summary description: listfiles entries from command line
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST UPLOAD was v0.6 as of 2012-10-14.
UPLOAD of v0.7 as of 2012-10-17 (2012-10-18):
* New option -c adds test of date consistency with the
`filedate' package and may thus be a way to check
date consistency with XeLaTeX (where pdffilemoddate
is not available ... may be silly ...).
* Indeed new option -x uses `xelatex' rather than `latex'
(see manual `adhocfilelist.htm' for discussion of
possible silliness -- somewhat missing in `filedate'
discussion).
* Some documentation mistakes have been corrected.
* srcfiles.tex checks date consistency for scripts and
documentation and lists what is used indeed
(but cf. makehtml.log from recent makehtml.tex).
* `adhocfilelist.RLS' provides a release summary with
`typeoutfileinfo', appearing in SrcFILEs.txt too.
v0.8 should allow -c with an explicit list of filenames ...
UPLOAD r0.3 (2012-10-19):
* added present RELEASE.txt (started for v0.7)
* corrected adhocfilelist.tds.zip
* added `filedate' checks in makehtml.tex, additionally
to those in srcfiles.tex
* listfiles in makehtml.tex (HTML driver) more careful,
using `nicefilelist', for comparison with SrcFILEs.txt

Uwe Lück submitted the
filedate
package to CTAN.
Summary description: Access and compare info and modification dates
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`filedate.sty' provides basic access to the date of a LaTeX
source file according to its ProvidesFile, ProvidesPackage,
or ProvidesClass entry -- the info date --, as well as to
its modification date according to pdffilemoddate if the
latter is available. Moreover commands are provided to compare
the info date with the modification date, with today's
date, or with another date that a script accessing modifica-
tion dates such as adhocfilelist.sh may insert, and to choose
the effect of comparisons (error vs. notice, reference date
characterization). Thus updating the info date (date con-
sistency) of a source file may be ensured by a test during
typesetting from it or by some (shell/TeX) script.
In fact the test today admonished me to update the
documentation source and driver `filedate.tex'. Another
motivating example of date inconsistency was `nicefilelist'
v0.6 as of 2012-10-11 (see version history) with info date
2012/10/03.
