On Thu, 1 May 2008 Martin Hairer submitted an update to the
mhequ
package.
MHequ simplifies creating multi-column equation environments, and tagging the
equations therein. It supports sub-numbers of blocks of equations (like (1.2a),
(1.2b), etc) and references to each equation individually (1.2a) or to the
whole block (1.2). The labels can be shown in draft mode.

The functionalities of the equs and equa environments are merged, but equa still
exists for backwards compatibility.

On Wed, 30 Apr 2008 Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the
isodoc
package.
The isodoc class can be used for the preparation of letters and invoices (and,
in the future, similar documents). Documents are set up with options, thus
making the class easily adaptable to user's wishes and extensible for other
document types.
The class is based on Victor Eijkhout's NTG brief class, which implements the
NEN1026 standard.

On Wed, 30 Apr 2008 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.

previous table, ` (continued' added to caption.

dvdcoll
package.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll
Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember
if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to
recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully
searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths
and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and
a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll
class supports all these requirements.
dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result,
the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of
CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on.
Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish.
Some help is needed for other languages! ;-)

Name of contribution: dashrule
Author's name: Scott Pakin
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dashrule
Summary description: Draw dashed rules in LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed
rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command,
hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's
ule and PostScript's
setdash command. hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the
same syntax as
ule, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter
that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between
those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally
using
ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully
compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor.
This minor update enables hdashrule to begin a paragraph.

i have placed the submission on the latex experimental tree, at
macros/latex/exptl/memoir-beta
when we have the final version, we can erase that location (or redirect
it to memoir proper).

i have installed the package as indicated above, and created an entry in
the catalogue. i believe the location is sufficiently different from
that of the original package that one hopes it won't be a source of
confusion.
users may view the catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/memoir-beta.html
or browse the package directory at
