CTAN package update: cleveref

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at
your favorite mirror.

Thanks,
Jim Hefferon
Saint Michael's College

........................................................................

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: cleveref
Author's name: Toby Cubitt
Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cleveref/
Summary description: Automatic cross-reference formatting.
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This version makes customising the reference formats far simpler and 
less tedious. It also adds a new conjunction and format part, used in 
lists containing just a pair of items. This makes certain frequently 
requested comma styles possible. The \label command can now take an 
optional argument that overrides the automatically determined reference 
style, allowing the format of references to individual labels to be 
customised separately if so desired. Finally, this version removes the 
need to explicitly pass options to enable support for the hyperref, 
ntheorem and amsmath packages. Instead, it enables the support 
automatically if these packages are loaded. (As ever, cleveref must be
loaded last to work properly.)

Summary description: Convert graphs generated by Graphviz to LaTeX friendly

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dot2tex is a tool for converting graphs rendered by Graphviz to formats
that can be used with LaTeX. 

The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by Graphviz a more 
LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by converting xdot 
output from Graphviz to a series of TikZ and PGF, or PSTricks commands. 
This approach allows:

    * Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation.
    * Using native PSTricks and PGF/TikZ commands for drawing arrows.
