On Sun, 6 Nov 2011 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the
caption
package.
Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments. License type: lppl
Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------
`newfloat' package added. The `newfloat' package offers the command DeclareFloatingEnvironment for defining new floating environments which behave like the existing ones `figure' and `table'. This functionality was already offered by the `caption' package via DeclareCaptionType in the past, but is now available for users which don't want to use the `caption' package.
