thanks for the upload (where _do_ you find the time?) -- i've installed the new version and updated the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/xits.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/xits/
