the daemon's been up to one of his mammoth sessions... > Name of contribution: l3kernel > Name of contribution: l3packages > Name of contribution: l3experimental > Author's name: The LaTeX3 Project > Author's email: latex-team(a)latex-project.org > Package version: SVN 3109 > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/l3kernel/ > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/l3packages/ > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/l3experimental/ > Summary description: LaTeX3 programming conventions > License type: lppl > > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Snapshot of SVN 3109 > -------------------- > > - New tl-analysis module for decomposing and analysing token lists > on a token-by-token basis. > - Extend l3regex to work with tokens where appropriate.

the daemon summons me from my evening slumbers: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: rmannot > Author's name: Don Story > Package version: 2.0 > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/rmannot/ > Summary description: creates rich media annotations, now supports 3d > models (distiller PDF creator required) > License type: lppl > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > What's New for Version 2.0: I've added support for 3D models (U3D and > PRC).
