the daemon is surely getting tired, after recent excessive exercise, but
neverthe less he says:

> The expl3 bundle: low-level LaTeX3 coding
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> The files of the expl3 bundle provide a low-level API for TeX
> programmers with special syntax conventions, completely
> separating it from document level syntax. Hence, the commands
> provided are not intended for use at the document level nor for
> use in describing design layouts in document class files.
>
> This API provides the foundation on which the LaTeX3 kernel
> and other advanced extensions are built. Special care has been
> taken so that they can be used within a LaTeX2e context as
> regular packages.
>
> The TeX and eTeX primitives are all given a new name according
> to these conventions. However, in the main direct use of the
> primitives is not required or encouraged: the expl3 modules
> define an independent low-level LaTeX3 programming language.
>
> At present, the expl3 modules are designed to be loaded on top
> of LaTeX2e:
>
> usepackage{expl3}
>
> In time, a LaTeX3 format will be produced based on this code.
> This allows the code to be used in LaTeX2e packages now while a
> stand-alone LaTeX3 is developed.
>
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
> This release (SVN 1543)
> ----------------------------------------------------------------
>
> The major change from the last snapshot (SVN 1509) is changes
> to l3keys which reflect discussion about both expl3 and wider
> LaTeX3 concepts.
>
> Changes to l3keys:
> - Removed .code:Nn, .code:Nx, .function:N, .initial:n,
> .initial:V, .set:N properties
> - New variable-setting properties .dim_(g)set:N, .int_(g)set:N,
> .skip_(g)set:N, .tl_(g)set:N, .tl_(g)set_x:N
> - Choice generating system now uses two properties
> .choice_code:n and .generate_choices:n
>
> The team hope that these changes now make l3keys fully usable
> across LaTeX3 and other projects.
>
> The keys_variable_get_scope:N and keys_variable_get_type:N
> functions have been moved to prg_, to reflect their generic
> nature.
>
> A few new functions have been added, mainly to support changes
> in the xpackages.

On Thu, 17 Sep 2009, Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the
ctable
package.
ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered or left or right aligned
tables and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment,
a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for
key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for
future extensions.
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ctable
License: LPPL
---------------------------------------------------------------------
major changes of v1.15 relative to v1.14):
- removed whitespace before tables,
- corrected marginpars in the documentation
