On Mon, 15 Aug 2011 Mojca Miklavec submitted an update to the
marvosym
package.
Summary description: Martin Vogel's Symbols (marvosym) font
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Martin Vogel's Symbol (marvosym) font contains the Euro currency symbol as
defined by the European commission, and also in shapes to blend with typefaces
Times, Helvetica and Courier; symbols for structural engineering; symbols for
steel cross-sections; astronomy signs (sun, moon, planets); the 12 signs of the
zodiac; scissor symbols; CE sign and others.
The package contains both original TrueType font as well as derived Type 1 and
support files for TeX (LaTeX).
Changes in this version:
- Fixed licence of TeX support files. Original font is licenced under OFL,
which prohibits GPL licence. Reorganized documentation, added OFL licence
texts and this FONTLOG.txt which is sadly missing in original font.
Thanks to Karl Berry for many useful suggestions and impromevents.
- Added original TTF font.
- Updated to font version 3.10 (2008-09-01).
- Recreated Type 1 font files with some incompatible changes in font metrics,
some glyphs removed and some newly introduced ones. Created TDS directory
structure and made LaTeX macros 100 % compatible with original names.
Old LaTeX names were kept as synonyms.
- AFM file now contains proper glyph names instead of names of
ASCII characters on those slots.
- Characters `A' and `p' (positions 0xF0 and 0xF1) are no longer present,
as they are not in the original font.
- Some high school logos were removed or replaced.
Changes on CTAN:
- moved from fonts/psfonts/marvosym to fonts/marvosym
- OzTeX and VTeX support files removed
----------------------------------------------------------------------

This major update provides the following new features:
* Additional provided box macros: lapbox, marginbox, minsizebox, maxsizebox and phantombox.
* Additional key options for adjustbox which can be exported for includegraphics as well.
* Now uses the authors other package 'collectbox' which is based
on the original used code.
* The trimming operation is now done using only TeX code.
* The clipping operation is now implemented using native pdftex
commands. Other output drivers will still use PGF as back-end.
* Now uses e-TeX glueexpr by default to parse all length arguments,
but can be configured to use the 'calc' package or the pgfsetlength
macro of PGF. Older documents might require now the 'pgfmath'
option to be used if they included pgfmath expressions.

On Tue, 9 Aug 2011 Pavel Farar submitted the
dejavu
package.
Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu
License type: other-free
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. They are derived
from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles.
The fonts are included in the original TrueType format and converted
Type 1 format.
The (currently) supported encodings are: OT1, T1, IL2, TS1, T2* and X2.
The package (currently) supports neither Greek nor math. More encodings
and/or features will come later.
The fonts are licensed under the Vera and Arev licenses, DejaVu changes
are in the public domain. All the support files are released under the
LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or
(at your option) any later version. The files released under the LaTeX
Project Public License are listed in manifest.txt.
The main reason why I created this package is that I am not satisfied
with the Arev and Bera packages for the Czech language, but some problems
are not just Czech-related. Moreover, you get more characters and styles.

Summary description: Provides variants of common ``box''-macros which reads their content as real box and not as macro argument.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This LaTeX package uses the authors other package 'collectbox' to define
variants of common box related macros which read the content as real box and
not as macro argument. This enables the use of verbatim or other special
material as part of this content.
The provided macros simply have the same names as the original versions but
start with an upper-case letter instead.
The long-form macros, like Makebox, can also be used as environments, but
not the short-form macros, like Mbox. However, normally the long form uses
the short form anyway when no optional arguments are used.

Hello,
In the next few hours, our hosting provider does maintenance work on
infrastructure. During that time, power will be turned off.
For that reason, I will shut down comedy.dante.de, a.k.a.
dante.ctan.org, the German CTAN server in short time. Controlled shut
down is much better than simply plugging the cord... ;-)
The server will be back up in roughly 9 hours, at 07:00 UTC. (That's
9am Central European Summer Time, in case you're wondering. :-)
During that time, CTAN mailing lists will not be reachable, mirrors
can't rsync, no downloads or uploads can happen.
I hope that this doesn't cause any inconvenience.
For the CTAN team,
Joachim
