Name of contribution: natbib
Author's name: Patrick Daly
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/natbib/
Summary description: Major revision to natbib package, contributions from
Arthur Ogawa for REVTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Arthur Ogawa has made substantial revisions to the natbib
package for the American Physical Society and their REVTeX
collection. These are mainly to emulate the features of the
mcite package of Thorsten Ohl, which is otherwise
incompatible with natbib. All this is to allow the upcoming
new release of REVTeX to function properly.
The new features allow references to be merged within the
bibliography listing itself. They require special BibTeX
style files, provided by the APS.
Patrick Daly has made extensive tests to ensure that the
regular features of natbib are unchanged.

Name of contribution: songs
Author's name: Kevin Hamlen
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/songs
Summary description: Songs package updated to version 2.7!
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Songs package has been updated to version 2.7!
Since the last CTAN announcement many useful
improvements have been added including:
* A more flexible and user-friendly keyval syntax for
entering song information
* A chord-replay system that allows users to type chords
only once when multiple verses of a song use the same
chords
* A chorus-replay system that can automatically insert a
copy of the chorus on fresh pages when generating foils
for an overhead projector
* The automatic transposition system now recognizes and
correctly transposes solfedge names for notes.
* Multinational characters can now be used in index
files. (Sorting of multinational characters is based on
the machine's current locale setting.)
* More than two columns in song sections are now
possible.
* The chord-replay system now supports memorizing and
replaying multiple sequences of chords, stored in user-
defined registers.
* Graphical begin- and end-repeat signs can be typeset
with lrep and
rep.
* Sequences of chords grouped over a single syllable can
be replayed either together or separately over a single
syllable or multiple syllables.
* Many bug-fixes and additional customization options
have also been added.
As always, the latest version of the songs package,
including song-entry utilities and self-installers for
Windows, can be downloaded from the package webpage at:
http://songs.sourceforge.net
