ightmark and leftmark

biblatex-fiwi
package.
Summary description: biblatex-fiwi is a collection of styles for the biblatex package for citations in German Humanities, especially film studies
License type: lppl
Announcement text: Yes
----------------------------------------------------------------------
biblatex-fiwi is a collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was
designed for citations in German Humanities, especially film studies, and offers
some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles.
biblatex-fiwi depends on biblatex (version 1.7 at least) and cannot be used
without it! Since the style in its current incarnation is highly optimized for
documents written in German, the main documentation is only available in German.
If there is enough interest, I will maybe add English documentation at a later
point.

*NOTE* -- users should note that CTAN does not yet hold biber 0.9.6; if
you are using biber, you should either update from the testing
distribution, or hold off installing this version of biblatex until the
production distribution of biber 0.9.6 is availablle.

On Thu, 10 Nov 2011 L. Nobre G. submitted an update to the
featpost
package.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FeatPost obtained a new macro to draw spheroids which is based on the
invariance of quadratic surfaces. Backward compatibility is maintained with the
exception of the perspective macro rp which now depends on the global variable
MaxFearLimit. If your figures look odd, change the value of this variable to
50 or more. Take a look at the example revolipsoid.mp.
