The package described below has bee updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror.
Thanks again, Jim Hefferon

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: subfig.sty Author's name: Steven Douglas Cochran Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/subfig License type: lppl Summary description: LaTeX package for providing support for the inclusion of small, `sub', figures and tables. It simplifies the positioning, captioning and labeling of them within a single figure or table environment. In addition, this package allows such subcaptions to be written to the List of Figures or List of tables if desired.
Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Several bug fixes, software and documentation updates:
o Added lofdepth and lotdepth keywords (default value is 2). Just adding one of these to the keyword list, when loading the subfig package will setup the associated List-Of page to display the sub-captions. In addition, if new sub-floats are created with the ewsubfloat command, than an appropriate keyword is also produced for use with the captionsetup command.
o Generalized the input of boolean values (i.e. made similar to the caption package). Boolean keywords may use any of the following synonyms: - For true: on, yes, or 1. - For false: off, no,or 0.
o Changed the included configuration filename from subfig.cfg to altsf.cfg so that it will not be automatically included, as this configuration file modifies the subfig package to be mostly backward compatible with the (obsolete) subfigure package. Note, however, that the default configuration name remains the same: subfig.cfg.
o Fixed problem with the loose and tight options in the altsf.cfg configuration file.
o Added 'debug' setting to select which sort of skips or rules are used in laying out the subfigures. This puts the debug version of the package under ltxdoc control rather than requiring hand-editing.
o Added caption keyword (for easy, caption=false) to allow the use of the subfig package without loading all of the caption package. This is needed for use with classes that have special caption formatting.
o Added check for classes or packages that use let rather than def to modify the endfloat and enddblfloat commands.
o Extended the subref* command to allow alternative formats using the (new) DeclareSubrefFormat command and subrefformat keyword.
o Added compatibility with the FloatRow package.
o Fixed some incompatibilities with the hyperref package references and a problem in the interaction of the hyperref package and the subfig package when continued floats are desired.
o Many documentation changes, including discussion of new features, repair of reported typo's and other requested changes to clarify the package.
o Fixed bug that required new float types to have their corresponding sub-floats defined in order to use the ContinuedFloat command. It is necessary to define the associated sub-floats only if they are to be used.
In the process of these changes, a major bug was found in the internals of the subfig package. This bug could cause whitespace (e.g. spaces) between subfloats to allow a line break. Such whitespace is now ignored. However, if this 'feature' was used to format subfloats, than the formatting of such papers will change. If subfloats become mis-alligned when using this version of subfig, than the user will need to add an explicit linebreak, \ where needed. See the README file for more details. - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
