and finally, the daemon comes along with:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: tabu (v2.2) Author's name: Florent CHERVET Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/tabu Summary description: Flexible LaTeX tabulars License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
Complete new implementation but some people will say I just changed the logo ;-)
Some new features (lines, leaders, colors ...)
Vertical spacing adjustment is very acurate !
Convergence to target really optimized in the case of nested tabu.
The syntax is now fixed and should not change in the future, even if some more developments would be profitable (allowing the X token in the argument of multicolumn). However, there is some backward incompatibility with former version 2.1 : - abulinestyle - X columns with negative width coefficient
If anybody has a proposal for the improvements of leaders (and especially the vertical ones) I would be glad to have a look at it ;-)
thanks for the upload; 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/tabu (v2.2).html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tabu
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
