Name of contribution: Javadoc
Author's name: Matthias Jolle Kiesel
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/javadoc
Summary description: Package for documentation of source code.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The javadoc package provides an easy way to document source code. It
is related to the javadoc system for java source code. But, of course,
source code of other languages can be documented using this package.
The bundle contains also a doclet to generate the Tex-files out of
java-source-code.

On Thu, 22 May 2008 at 12:16 +0200, Werner LEMBERG submitted an update to the
wadalab
package.
These are font bundles for the Japanese Wadalab fonts which work with the CJK
package.
All subfonts now have glyph names compliant to the Adobe Glyph List, making
ToUnicode CMaps in PDF documents (created automatically by dvipdfmx) work
correctly.
All font bundles now contain virtual Unicode subfonts.
Location on CTAN: /fonts/wadalab
License: unknown
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This version incorporates the hwkatakana bundle of Gernot Hassenpflug
(which now becomes obsolete). The main reason for this merge was that
some files of Gernot's package replace files from the Wadalab fonts,
causing nasty dependency issues.

I have installed an update of the rotating package (which I maintain).
Changes in v 2.15
-- A fair bit of work on the .dtx, so that the manual is more useful
-- Horizontal position of rotated floats on their page is controllable
-- Redone the code on auto-rotating of floats in two-side documents;
I believe i've solved the problem reported on comp.text.tex recently
A .tds.zip file is available.
Users can review the catalogue entry at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html
or browse the distribution directory at
http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/
(I would appreciate reports of continuing problems with auto-rotation of
floats.)
