skb
package.
Summary description: Create and maintain a repository for long-living documents
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides macros that help to build a document repository for
long living documents. It focuses on structure and re-use of text, code,
figures etc. The basic concept is to first separate structure from content
(i.e. text about a topic from the structure it is presented by) and then
separating the content from the actual published document, thus enabling
easy re-use of text blocks in different publications (i.e. text about a
protocol in a short article about this protocol as well as in a book about
many protocols); all without constantly copying or changing text. As a side
effect, using the document classes provided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from
someone who just wants to write articles and books.
Updates in v0.52: added moderncv to the supported classes, changed package
structure to be compliant with CTAN requirements and added information in
the README file.

On Tue, 31 May 2011 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the
ifnextok
package.
Summary description: make commands not skipping spaces
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
v0.2 provides MakeNotSkipping<target>{<on-space>}
modifying a given document-level command <target>,
based on IfNextSpace{<if>}{<else>},
actually addressing what the abstract of ifnextok.pdf
has promised so far (including active double quote);
maybe rather showing problems than being
practically useful (as opposed to package options
useful for end-users)

On Fri, 27 May 2011 John Bowman submitted an update to the
asymptote
package.
Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-aware vector graphics language
License type: lgpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC vertex-shading for straight patches was implemented. A general image routine
that uses a pen function of two INT parameters was implemented. A 3D pixel
routine was added. A temporary expression is now used to avoid side effects in
self operators. Keyword-only function arguments were implemented. The sizing
routines were recoded. Bugs in drawline and geometry were fixed. The geometry
module no longer overloads the built-in circle and ellipse functions. PDF TeX
engines are now supported in xasy. Directory prefixes are no longer stripped
from .js and .prc file names. The TeXShop instructions were updated. The
asymptote.sty LaTeX style file was updated to allow leading spaces before
end{asy} and to introduce a keepAspect keyval option. Segmentation faults were
fixed. Unwanted state-dependency was removed from the startTrembling function
of the contributed trembling module by introducing a tremble structure
(backwards incompatible change); see the example floatingdis!
