Name of contribution: renditions
Version number: v0.1
Author's name: D. P. Story
Summary description: Using the renditions package, you can create many versions, or
renditions, of content from the same source file.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a short package sets up comment environments, called renditions.
These renditions can be included or excluded according to the value of
the rendition option. The basic options of this package are max and
rendition,
usepackage[max=4,rendition=3]{renditions}
In the above example, max=4 declares that there are 4 renditions in the
document, the option rendition=3 causes the package to include
rendition3, and to exclude all the others rendition1, rendition2, and
rendition4.

On Fri, 5 Feb 2010, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
softmaker-freefont
package.
Location on CTAN: /fonts/softmaker-freefont
Summary description: Support files for SoftMaker free fonts.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2009 www.freefont.de offered a beautiful handwriting font
for free download: The Softmaker Stone Handwriting.
As handwriting fonts are a quite limited resource in the LaTeX world,
i decided to create support files for this beautiful font. Therefore,
Stone Handwriting will be the starting point for the softmaker-freefont
bundle. Other fonts will be included in future.
Supported fonts at the moment:
Baskerville-Nova (regular + bold + italic + bold italic),
Congress (regular + bold + italic), Delano-Caps, Flagstaff, Henderson,
Iceberg (regular + bold), Jugendstil, Old Blackletter, Stone Handwriting
License: LPPL (not the fonts themselves)
New in v1.8:
- added support for the font family Baskerville-Nova
(regular + bold + italic + bold italic + faked slanted + faked small caps)
Attention: The font is not included! This font is font of the
month (February 2010) and can be downloaded for free (at least
this month) at: http://www.freefont.de
Later you can buy it from Softmaker

Name of contribution: csv2latex
Version number: 1.1
Author's name: Alan Munn
Location on CTAN: /support/csv2latex
Summary description: Convert spreadsheet table cells into LaTeX source.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
csv2latex is a Ruby/Applescript combination for Mac OS X
that allows cut and paste of spreadsheet table cells into
LaTeX source in a variety of common LaTeX table formats.
Requires Mac OS 10.4 or above.
As of Version 2.30 of TeXShop, csv2latex will be included as
part of TeXShop. Users of other text editors and users of
older versions of TeXShop should still find the script
combination useful.
New in this release:
Fixed a bug in the Applescript that caused the Cancel button
not to work.
Added a compiled Applescript for use with most Mac text
editors (e.g. BBEdit)
Added an Installer package to make installation maximally
simple.
Added a .plist file for easy use with TeXShop.
Updated documentation to be more friendly to non-TeXShop users.

On Fri, 29 Jan 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the
installfont
package.
Location on CTAN: /support/installfont
Summary description: A bash script for installing a Postscript Type1 font family.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this script you can install a Postscript Type1 font family (at least the four
basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts) for using
it with LaTeX (MiKTeX). The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal)
or will otherwise expect the *.pfb and *.afm files named in the Karl Berry scheme
(e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). Just adapt the script variables to your fonts and directories.
After running it, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.
License: LPPL
New in v1.1:
- added automatic renaming of the fonts by analyzing the afm files
