On Mon, 15 Feb 2010, Francois Charette submitted an update to the
biber
package.
Biber is a BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex, with full Unicode support,
written in Perl. This release coincides with the release of biblatex 0.9. This
version of Biber was in fact specifically developed for that version of biblatex
0.9. See the accompanying README file for requirements and installation
instruction.
Location on CTAN: /biblio/biber
License type: artistic
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Bugfix release.
* Removed support for legacy biblatex control files
(jobname-blx.bib): Biber now only reads .bcf files which
are generated by biblatex with the option backend=biber.
* Improved handling of uniquename and namehash.
* Don't escape LaTeX special chars in bbl output, as it
breaks math formatting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
With this script you can install a Postscript Type1 font family (at least the four
basic cuts + (faked) small caps + faked slanted, but no expert fonts) for using
it with LaTeX (MiKTeX). The script will rename the fonts automatically (optinal)
or will otherwise expect the *.pfb and *.afm files named in the Karl Berry scheme
(e.g. 5bbr8a.pfb). Just adapt the script variables to your fonts and directories.
After running it, you should have a working font installation in your local TeX tree.
License: LPPL
New in v1.2:
- added the options scaled and leading to the created style file to scale the font
for better matching with other fonts and to increase the leading between lines

for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided

version 0.8) and cannot be used without it.
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1.2o
======================================================
Note that this version is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH BIBLATEX 0.9!
======================================================
- BUGFIX: When using the options 'xref=true' and
'useeditor=false', the editor was not printed in the
bibliography. This is now fixed. Also, some bugs
regarding the xref functionality in citations could be
fixed.
- BUGFIX: The editors in @incollection, @inproceedings and
@inreference entries were printed using the name format
'sortname' ('Lastname, Firstname') where it should have
been the name format 'byeditor' ('Firstname Lastname').
This is now fixed.
- New option 'omiteditor': If one uses 'useeditor=false'
and 'omiteditor=true', the editor in citations will be
omitted. The same applies to the xref functionality in
the bibliography. With 'useeditor=true', this option has
no effect. The standard for this option is 'false'.
- The limitation regarding the combination of 'xref=true',
'edbyidem=true' and 'useeditor=false' is no longer valid.
That means, it is not necessary to have the editor in the
child entry as well in order to get an 'idem' string.
- Extended the documentation.

License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2009 www.freefont.de offered a beautiful handwriting font
for free download: The Softmaker Stone Handwriting.
As handwriting fonts are a quite limited resource in the LaTeX world,
i decided to create support files for this beautiful font. Therefore,
Stone Handwriting will be the starting point for the softmaker-freefont
bundle. Other fonts will be included in future.
Supported fonts at the moment:
Baskerville-Nova (regular + bold + italic + bold italic),
Congress (regular + bold + italic), Delano-Caps, Flagstaff, Henderson,
Iceberg (regular + bold), Jugendstil, Old Blackletter, Stone Handwriting
License: LPPL (not the fonts themselves)
New in v1.8:
- added support for the font family Baskerville-Nova
(regular + bold + italic + bold italic + faked slanted + faked small caps)
Attention: The font is not included! This font is font of the
month (February 2010) and can be downloaded for free (at least
this month) at: http://www.freefont.de
Later you can buy it from Softmaker

Version number: 1.1
Author's name: Alan Munn
Location on CTAN: /support/csv2latex
Summary description: Convert spreadsheet table cells into LaTeX source.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
csv2latex is a Ruby/Applescript combination for Mac OS X
that allows cut and paste of spreadsheet table cells into
LaTeX source in a variety of common LaTeX table formats.
Requires Mac OS 10.4 or above.
As of Version 2.30 of TeXShop, csv2latex will be included as
part of TeXShop. Users of other text editors and users of
older versions of TeXShop should still find the script
combination useful.
New in this release:
Fixed a bug in the Applescript that caused the Cancel button
not to work.
Added a compiled Applescript for use with most Mac text
editors (e.g. BBEdit)
Added an Installer package to make installation maximally
simple.
Added a .plist file for easy use with TeXShop.
Updated documentation to be more friendly to non-TeXShop users.
