On Sun, 12 Dec 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
pdfcomment
package.
Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot
for inserting
arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in
a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the
PDF format is
indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional
– questions
in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function
of Adobe
Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package
offers a
convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to
provide comments
in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports:
LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX.
Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is
sparse to
nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of
this package is
Adobe Reader.
License: LPPL
Changes in v2.1:
- added support for PDF reply system
pdfcomment[avatar=Joe,id=1]{comment}
pdfreply[avatar=Bob,id=2,replyto=1]{reply to comment}
works for pdflatex only!
- added options id,date,timezone
- added support for new icon CrossHairs (Adobe Reader X)
- Bugfix: problem with pdfmarkupcomment with page break
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment
. More information is at

(if the package is new it may take a day for that information to
appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Thanks for the upload.

Summary description: clarify bibtex license
License type: other-free
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All of the BibTeX-related files originating with the
Stanford TeX Project have been updated to clarify the
license, which was always intended to be the same as TeX.
There are no functional changes.
This includes bibtex.web, plain.bst, btxdoc.tex, and so on.
We have also folded the three apalike files into the main
BibTeX directory, so that all of the original BibTeX files
are available in the same place.
