Summary description: A modern curriculum vitae class
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.3.0 (09 Feb 2013)
- added a new environment to create multiple columns: cvcolumns. Each column is then created by cvcolumn[width]{header}{content}, where the optional width is given as a fraction of the total width (between 0 and 1). The header and content are robust and can contain any paragraph command (e.g., a nest itemize environment).
- added a macro (pdfpagemode) to control what is visible upon opening compiled pdfs (assuming pdf reader support), as suggested by U. Stöhr. Possible values include: UseNone (only the document), UseThumbs (show thumbnails), UseOutlines (show bookmarks) and FullScreen (open in fullscreen mode).
- added a 3rd, fully optional (can be omitted or left blank) argument to address to specify a country, as requested on launchpad (launchpad bug #1063995).
- compacted list environments further.
- replaced the usage of the xargs package by the xparse one.
