the daemon alerts me to an eagerly awaited upload:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: ucs Author's name: Wolfgang Jeltsch Package version: 2.0 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ucs/ Summary description: Extended UTF-8 input encoding support for LaTeX License type: lppl
=20 Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
The ucs package provides advanced support for using UTF-8 as the input encoding of LaTeX files. It goes much beyond the standard UTF-8 support of LaTeX. For example, it supports much more characters, provides facilities for efficiently handling this large number of characters, and allows glyph production to be controlled by various options. As a result, the ucs package is also suitable for using non-ASCII characters when entering mathematical formulas.=20
Before version 2.0, the ucs package was called =91unicode=92 in certain contexts. Starting with version 2.0, it should always be called =91ucs=
=92.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the package as if it were new, and made an entry for it in the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/ucs.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ucs/
The new catalogue entry will have appeared on the web by tomorrow morning.
