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 .
