CTAN Update: ctable 1.13

On Wed, 30 Apr 2008 Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the

  ctable 

package.

ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered or left or right aligned 
tables and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes.  Instead of an environment, 
a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for 
key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for 
future extensions.

major changes of v1.13 relative to v1.12):
- cap option with empty argument will prohibit insertion in lot/lof
- added option continued, for continuation tables: same number as 
  previous table, ` (continued' added to caption.

CTAn Update: mhequ

On Thu, 1 May 2008 Martin Hairer submitted an update to the

  mhequ

package.

MHequ simplifies creating multi-column equation environments, and tagging the 
equations therein. It supports sub-numbers of blocks of equations (like (1.2a), 
(1.2b), etc)  and references to each equation individually (1.2a) or to the 
whole block (1.2).  The labels can be shown in draft mode.

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

The functionalities of the equs and equa environments are merged, but equa still 
exists for backwards compatibility.

Syntax incompatible upgrade of statex v. 1, hence the name change.  
Although, not syntax compatible, the new syntax is more internally 
consistent and more latexy. Also, new experimental option autobold, 
to bold statistical formulas for presentation (often needed so that 
greek characters, subscripts and superscripts can be seen by the 
audience).

Changes
* requires amstext and not the whole of amsmath any more

  upshape so no funny discrepancy should arise anymore between say 
  Alpha and Delta when used in a non-roman or non-upshape environment.
