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.

ightmark's.
> With titleps you have:
>
> * Working top marks, compatible with floats (unlike

> in LaTeX).
> * Access to top, first and botttom marks in a single
> headline/footline (e.g., the first and last section
> numbers).
> * Auto-defining of suitable sectionmark and the like.
> * Simple (and not so simple) headrules and footrules.
> * Headlines and footlines for pages with floats.
> * Headlines and footlines for specific floats (a sort of
> hispagestyle for floats).
>
> New in version 1.1.0 are:
> * Marks for more than 2 sectioning levels.
> * Multiple sets of marks (here named marksets and
> extra marks). Requires e-TeX or compatible.
> * Separate marksets for different sectioning commands.
> * Fixed a serious bug with @mkboth (with was not even
> taken into account).
>
> These changes also apply to titlesec (2.10.0), which
> is not required for titleps to work.
