Andy Buckley has provided a new package hep:

The hep package is a relatively thin wrapper package on a variety of packages useful for typesetting high-energy physics documents. It is aimed at HEP users who just want to write papers without having to worry about which packages to include. hep includes a useful minimal set of packages by default, with more specialist ones being available via package options.

he's also provided an update of his package hepunits:

Changes include the addition of proper documentation, much improved options handling and a new option to stop the package from polluting the macro namespace for people who are picky about such things.

i've installed both the new and the upgraded packages at cambridge, and updated the catalogue for each.

thanks, andy, for the new package.
