Loaction on CTAN: fonts/lm

 > Package: Latin Modern fonts
 > Version: 1.106 (Jan 22 2008)
 > Authors: Bogus\l{}aw Jackowski and Janusz M. Nowacki
 > License: GUST Font License
 > Location on CTAN: fonts/lm
 > 
 > Recent changes:
 > * the `size' feature (opical sizing) implemented in the OTF files; 
 >   this triggered a chain of changes of internal names in order to 
 >   provide adequate family grouping (complying nolens volens with 
 >   the "4-member family" paradigm) and resulted eventually in 
 >   a completely new naming scheme
 > * beware of the change of the OTF file names
 > * beware of the change of the PostScript Type 1 internal font names
 > * ligatures I_J and i_j are now available (in OTFs; feature `liga') only
 >   for Dutch; similarly, the ligature f_k -- for Polish; the `locl' feature
 >   reimplemented -- using an artificial glyph i.TRK is no longer needed
 > * the metric bugs corrected;    
 > and some more meaningful fixes and enhancements

CTAN Update: nag

On Sun, 10 Feb 2008, Ulrich M. Schwarz submitted an update to the

  nag

package.

Old habits die hard. All the same, there are commands, classes and 
packages which are outdated and superseded.  The nag package provides 
routines to warn the user about the use of such obsolete things.  As an 
example, we provide an extension that detects many of the "sins" described 
in l2tabu.

Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/nag
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
0.61 fixes numerous robustness and compatibility issues, you are strongly advised to update.

nag-experimental now warns about failed \includes and informs about floats that are too large for their position.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

This package is located at 
   http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nag
.  More information is at
   http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=nag

appear).  We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
