CTAN package update: csquotes beta release

This release should go into macros/latex/contrib/csquotes. > Please purge the old files, install the new ones, and announce the > upload as usual. from the catalogue: The csquotes package provides advanced facilities for inline and display quotations. It is designed for a wide range of tasks ranging from the most simple applications to the more complex demands of formal quotations. The facilities include commands, environments, and user-definable `smart quotes' which dynamically adjust to their context. Quotation marks are switched automatically if quotations are nested and they can be adjusted to the current language if the babel package is available. There are additional facilities designed to cope with the more specific demands of academic writing, especially in the humanities and the social sciences. All quote styles as well as the optional active quotes are freely configurable. > Note that there are two subdirectories in the archive, stable and > testing. The stable version is essentially the one already on CTAN, > the testing directory contains a beta version for public testing. > Please keep the directory structure intact. This split is only > temporary. > > Thank you very much. > > Changes in the beta version: > > * Added support for UTF-8 encoded active quotes > * Modified active quotes, catcode 7 no longer allowed > * Modified delimiters, catcode 3, 4, and 7 no longer allowed > * Added value `once' to package option `babel' i have installed the package, and perfunctorily updated the catalogue to mention the beta release. thanks for the upload.
