For the LaTeX Project, Frank Mittelbach submitted an update to the

LaTeX tools bundle

License type: lppl1.3 Version number: multicol 1.8i

Summary description: The LaTeX standard tools bundle.

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This update contains code fixes to multicol (from v1.8g to v1.8i) see change-log below. This should be installed as multicols* is not working correctly in the current version!

In addition it contains documentation updates for various files, correcting typos found by Karl Berry. No version changes (only date changes) to those packages as the code is unchanged.

* multicol.dtx: In end{multicols*} only add vertical space if not doing already doing aggedcolumns and add ull to hide the final fill if added so that it doesn't get removed again.

2014-10-28 Frank.Mittelbach@latex-project.org * afterpage.dtx, array.dtx, bm.dtx, calc.dtx, dcolumn.dtx, delarray.dtx, enumerate.dtx, ftnright.dtx, hhline.dtx, layout.dtx, longtable.dtx, multicol.dtx, showkeys.dtx, tabularx.dtx, theorem.dtx, trace.dtx, varioref.dtx, verbatim.dtx, xspace.dtx

Fixed typos found by Karl Berry in documentation (no version number change)

2014-09-12 Frank.Mittelbach@latex-project.org

* multicol.dtx: change ragged columns to not just fill the column but also back up by maxdepth if they otherwise become overfull as adding glue at the bottom means the column will never have any depth and before they had. (pr/4395)

maxdepth is applied to all column boxes. That was initially not necessary as splitmaxdepth was doing the trick. However, the moment those boxes get reboxed this information is lost and resulted in some subtle errors. (pr/4395)

Suppress even really bad overfull warnings while looping
