This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should be through the mirroring system in about a day. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: natbib Author's name: Patrick Daly Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/natbib/ Summary description: Major revision to natbib package, contributions from Arthur Ogawa for REVTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Arthur Ogawa has made substantial revisions to the natbib package for the American Physical Society and their REVTeX collection. These are mainly to emulate the features of the mcite package of Thorsten Ohl, which is otherwise incompatible with natbib. All this is to allow the upcoming new release of REVTeX to function properly. The new features allow references to be merged within the bibliography listing itself. They require special BibTeX style files, provided by the APS. Patrick Daly has made extensive tests to ensure that the regular features of natbib are unchanged. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib/ .

CTAN disruption of service at tug.ctan.org
by CTAN maintainer Jim Hefferon 28 Jan '09

28 Jan '09

As announced two days ago I have virtualized the services provided by tug.ctan.org. This means that my institution, Saint Michael's College, has allowed me to put the services onto a box that lives in the server room, so that it has uninterrupted power, regular professional backups, etc. (It is also greener.) The system is an intricate combination of baling wire and expectorant, and many of my services had at least a little trouble, but in particular the www services had database trouble (basically, PostgreSQL 8.3 is pickier about foreign keys than the version on which the service previously ran). I believe that most of those are now back. I appreciate folks's patience. Jim Hefferon
