On Mon, 19 Dec 2011 Xavier Danaux submitted an update to the moderncv package. Summary description: A modern curriculum vitae class. License type: lppl Announcement text: Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 0.15 (19 December 2011) - corrects list spacing. - corrects inconsistent use of sans serif fonts in roman layout option. - the lmodern fonts are now automatically loaded only if installed on the system. The nolmodern option is now therefore obsolete. - complete code refactoring separating themes in separate styles and colors. - renamed cvline to cvitem, cvlanguage to cvitemwithcomment and cvcomputer to cvdoubleitem (the old command name still work and redirect to the new ones, but are deprecated). - removed the arbitrary minipage widths of skill proficiency vs comment in cvitemwithcomments. The skill proficiency is now typeset exactly as given (i.e. one one line if no linebreaks are implicitly given) and the comment uses the remaining horizontal space. - changed the optional argument of cvlistitem and cvlistdoubleitem to specify the vertical skip after the item (as for cvitem, cvitemwithcomments, etc). The way to change the list symbol is to redefine listitemsymbol. - added a new style on top of classic and casual: oldstyle. - loads the microtype package to improve typography. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/moderncv .

On Fri, 25 Nov 2011 Boris Veytsman submitted the philosophers-imprint package. Summary description: LaTeX Class for Philosophers' Imprint journal License type: lppl Announcement text: Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As said in its mission statement at http://www.philosophersimprint.org, ``Philosophers' Imprint is a refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by philosophy faculty at the University of Michigan, with the advice of an international Board of Editors, and published on the World Wide Web by the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for free, via the Internet.'' The journal used to accept manuscripts in Rich Text Format only. However, for many authors, especially from the field of logic, TeX seems to be a better choice. I was commissioned to write a LaTeX class for this journal. The aim of the class is to help authors to typeset their own articles in the ``Web-ready'' format. We do not assume the authors have any commercial fonts installed on their machines. The class uses only freely available and freely distributed fonts. Changes in version 1.1 - New formatting of journal URL - Better handling of footnotes - Use for microtype if exists ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/philosophers-imprint . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/philosophers-imprint (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).
