the daemon coughed a little this morning, twice, but didn't distract me from my dedication to work. hence i have only just got around to these packages:

Name of contribution: texapi Author's name: Paul Isambert Location on CTAN: macros/generic/texapi Summary description: Macros to write format-independent packages. License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

• Renamed

ospace as skipspace and splitstring as splitstringat to

avoid clashes with existing commands in ConTeXt (spotted by Taco Hoekwater).

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/texapi.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/generic/texapi/

and

Name of contribution: yax Author's name: Paul Isambert Location on CTAN: macros/generic/yax Summary description: Yet Another Key System. License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

• Several attributes can now be set at once to the same value in setparameter.
• Added setattribute (and e-, g- and x-) variants as a faster alternative to setparameter.
• Bugfix with ConTeXt (thanks to Taco Hoekwater).

i've installed both packages and updated their catalogue entries; thanks for the uploads.

of course, the change in the catalogue entry on the web (small though it be) won't appear until sometime tonight, when i'm upstairs slumbering fitfully.
