Name of contribution: The caption package 3.0a
Uploaded to: ftp.dante.de/incoming/caption
Suggested location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/caption
(Please delete all the old files in this directory)
Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments
License type: lppl
Abstract:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions
in floating environments like figure and table and cooperates with
many other packages.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Changes:
- New option tableposition= for use inside usepackage as
abbreviation of captionsetup[table]{position=...}
- Bugfix: spaces are allowed between 2nd and 3rd argument of
DeclareCaptionXXX and between the optional and the mandatory
argument of captionsetup.
- Bugfix:
ewfloat +
estylefloat* gives correct float names in caption
- Bugfix: captionof after
estylefloat* gives correct caption layout
- Improvement: after
ewfloat or
estylefloat the right position of
the caption is reported to the subfig package
- Bugfix: caption* now works with the KOMA-Script classes, too.
- Improvement: @makecaption is supported now.
- Bugfix in DeclareCaptionFont: brackets where missing so it used to
work only with one-token-definitions.
- Bugfix in supertabular support: A par was missing at the beginning
of ST@caption.

I have just uploaded version 1.3 of multibib.
-- uploaded file: multibib-v1.3.tar.gz
-- uploaded to CTAN node: dante.ctan.org (ftp.dante.de)
-- recommended place: /tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/multibib
-- licensing condition: lppl
-- brief summary:
The `multibib' package allows to create references to multiple
bibliographies within one document. It thus provides a complementary
functionality to packages like `bibunits' or `chapterbib', which allow
to create one bibliography for multiple, but different parts of the
document.
Changes to version 1.2 include
. compatibility to jurabib and cite 4.0, based on a new general
compatibility mechanisms
It would be fine if you can sent a short note to comp.text.tex when
the new style has been installed.
