the daemon obviously noticed i was out of the office, and so it pounced:

The following information was provided by the package's contributor.

Name of contribution: tabu (v2.6 release) Author's name: Florent CHERVET Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/tabu Summary description: Flexible LaTeX tabulars License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

• savetabu now also saves abulinesep (ie

abovetabulinesep and elowtabulinesep)

• Bug fixed for custom environments when nested

• aburulecolor now works for the longtabu environment even if colortbl is not loaded (same behaviour as for the tabu environments then: . colored rules only require xcolor.sty, . colored cells (and columns and rows) require colortbl.sty)

thanks for the upload; i have installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.

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

The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
