Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new version of the manual for pdftex 1.40.11 is now
available. It includes documentation on some primitives
which have been available for some time but never included
in the manual, and miscellaneous other fixes.
Special thanks to Paul Isambert for drafting most of the new
text.
To be sure it's clear: pdftex itself is entirely unchanged
and no new versions of the program have been released since
1.40.11 (in TeX Live 2010). This update is only about the
manual.

This package contains lot shortcut for serbian language
and, approx 5000 serbian word in cyrillic scripts with
hyphenations. The package is supplemented daily with new
words. The intention is to improve the layout of words on
the end of the line, given the fact that the babel
package, currently, does not completely satisfy the rules
relating to break Serbian words in Cyrillic script.

Update summary:
Version 1.3b
This version of biblatex-dw was tested against biblatex 1.0,
but it should also work with versions from biblatex 0.9d.
The following changes were made to biblatex-dw:
- BUGFIX: Using pagetotal=false and citepages=separate, the
herename was printed as soon as the pagetotal field was
present (although the pagetotal field itself was not
printed). This is now fixed, and the citepages option
pays attention to the pagetotal option.
- In order to match as closely as possible to biblatex
itself, the citenamepunct command was renamed to
ametitledelim. For compatibility reasons with earlier
versions of biblatex-dw, the citenamepunct was kept.
Thus, it does not matter if you redefine
ametitledelim
or citenamepunct, the effect will be the same; but note
that the citenamepunct may be dropped in later versions
of biblatex-dw.
- In full citations
ametitledelim is used instead of
labelnamepunct.
- Improvements regarding idem functionality in combination
with xref=true.
- Improved the documentation.
Basic package information, as sent by the contributor.

Location: /macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw
Caption: Humanities styles for biblatex.
Description: A small collection of styles for the biblatex package.
It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some
features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles.
Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.9d) and
cannot be used without it.
