Name of contribution: biblatex-dw
Version number: 1.2m
Author's name: Dominik Wassenhoven
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.2m
- BUGFIX: Changed the default of citerevsdnamedelim which
used to be a slash. Now it is empty, because otherwise
it produced two slashes in some circumstances.
- BUGFIX: In footnote-dw with 'xref=true', the reference to
the first entry did not work if the first citation of a
parent was cited via a child. This is now fixed.
- BUGFIX: In footnote-dw the punctuation of @collection
entries was wrong when using a prenote in conjunction
with 'useeditor=false' or when there was no editor. This
is now fixed.
- The biblatex option 'singletitle' can now be used both
with authortitle-dw and footnote-dw. Using this option, a
work's title is only printed if there is not more than
one work by the author or editor.
- New entry option 'pseudoauthor'. If set to true, the
author is put in brackets. This is useful for e.g.
editions of works whose authors are not named, but are
known. See the documentation for details. The entry
option does only have effect if the global option
'pseudoauthor' is set to 'true'. The default value is
'false'.

Summary description: coordinate transformation styles for 3d plotting in TikZ
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The tikz-3dplot package provides straightforward ways to
define three-dimensional coordinate frames through which to
plot in TikZ. The user can specify the orientation of the
main coordinate frame, and use standard TikZ commands and
coordinates to render their tikzfigure. A secondary
coordinate frame is provided to allow rotations and
translations with respect to the main coordinate frame. In
addition, The 3dplot package can also handle plotting
user-specified functions in spherical polar coordinates,
where both the radius and fill color can be expressed as
parametric functions of polar angles.

The biliography styles philosophy-classic and philosophy-modern allow you to produce two

manage the information about the translation of foreign texts or their reprints. Even if the default
settings are based on the styles predominant in Italian publications, these styles can be used with
every language recognized by babel, possibly with some simple redefinitions.

Name of contribution: txfontsb
Version number: 1.00
Author's name: Antonis Tsolomitis
Summary description: Adds true small caps and oldstyle numbers to txfonts and also
greek support through Babel, for the Times font, based on GNU Freefont.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package requires and extends txfonts in two ways. I adds
true small caps and oldstylenumbers for the latin alphabet
and also
adds Greek support for Times. The glyphs for Greek are
mainly from
the GNU FreeFont. However, there are several modifications
needed to make a type1 font work with Greek in Babel and so
a derivative font has been created. Some kerning information
was also added and the glyph final sigma was scaled to
proper size in the roman font (there is a bug in GNU
FreeFont, final sigma is too big). Greek contains also true
small capitals
