Now it is empty, because otherwise it produced two slashes in some circumstances. - BUGFIX: In footnote-dw with 'xref=true', the reference to the first entry did not work if the first citation of a parent was cited via a child. This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: In footnote-dw the punctuation of @collection entries was wrong when using a prenote in conjunction with 'useeditor=false' or when there was no editor. This is now fixed. - The biblatex option 'singletitle' can now be used both with authortitle-dw and footnote-dw. Using this option, a work's title is only printed if there is not more than one work by the author or editor. - New entry option 'pseudoauthor'. If set to true, the author is put in brackets. This is useful for e.g. editions of works whose authors are not named, but are known. See the documentation for details. The entry option does only have effect if the global option 'pseudoauthor' is set to 'true'. The default value is 'false'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblate… .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: eqparbox Version number: 3.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox Summary description: Put text in boxes that are as wide as the widest text License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- LaTeX users sometimes need to ensure that two or more blocks of text occupy the same horizontal space on the page. To that end, the eqparbox package defines eqparbox, eqmakebox, eqframebox, and eqsavebox commands, which work just like parbox, makebox, framebox, and savebox, respectively, except that instead of specifying a width, one specifies a tag. All boxes with the same tag -- regardless of where they are in the document -- will stretch to fit the widest box that uses that tag. This simple, equal-width mechanism can be used for a variety of alignment purposes, as is evidenced by the examples in eqparbox's documentation. Version 3.1 includes Rob Verhoeven's eqmakebox contribution and supplements it with eqframebox and eqsavebox. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eqparbox .
