On Sat, 9 Jan 2010, Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the

Summary description: The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do.

BibTool: A Tool for Manipulating BibTeX Data Bases
BibTeX provides an easy to use means to integrate citations and
bibliographies into LaTeX documents. But the user is left alone with
the management of the BibTeX files. The program BibTool is intended to
fill this gap. BibTool allows the manipulation of BibTeX files which
does beyond the possibilities --- and intentions --- of BibTeX.

On Mon, 4 Jan 2010, Harald Harders submitted an update to the
isodate
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/isodate/
Summary description: Prints dates and date ranges in various (language-dependent) formats
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides ten output formats of the
commands oday, printdate, printdateTeX, and daterange
(partly language dependent):
ISO (yyyy-mm-dd),
numeric (e.g. dd.,mm.~yyyy),
short (e.g. dd.,mm.,yy),
TeX (yyyy/mm/dd),
original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy),
short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy),
as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month.
The commands printdate and printdateTeX print any date.
The date is given as an argument using the actual date
format for output:
printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or
printdate{dd/mm/yyyy},
and printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}.
The command daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary
year or month entries.
E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'.
ChangeLog:
2010/01/03 v2.30 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de)
- Add a month-year format (omitting the day)
- Move defintion of language-independent formats into the main
style file
2007/04/09 v2.29 Harald harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de)
- Allow to change the unbreakable spaces in the orig and
shortorig format
