CTAN Update: biblatex-dw

On Mon, 2 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the

   biblatex-dw

package.

This package contains a small collection of styles for the biblatex package.  
It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that 
are not provided by the standard biblatex styles.  Biblatex-dw is dependent on 
biblatex (at least version 0.7) and cannot be used without it.

Location on CTAN: /maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/

License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
v1.1c
 - BUGFIX: With the option 'idem=false', the author of a 
   first citation who was cited immediately before with 
   another work lacked the forename.
 - BUGFIX: The option 'edbyidem=false' produced a 
   superfluous 'ed. by'; string.
 - BUGFIX: Small punctuation issue with repeated 
   citations and 'herename'. 
 - New option 'namefont' which can take the values 
   'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. The default is none, 
   i.e. authors and editors are set in normal font shape. 
   With 'useprefix=true', this option also affects the 
   name prefix.

CTAN package update: moreverb

I have updated the moreverb package, following advice from Morten
H\o{}gholm to a user.

The moreverb package offers a miscellany of verbatim functions; it
requires the verbatim package from the LaTeX required distribution.

Changes to the package include Morten's patch, and a variety of
editorial tidies.

I have updated the catalogue and installed a .tds.zip file.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at
  http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/moreverb.html
or browse the package directory at

some short commands for set (blackboard) or filtrations (calligraphic). 
It requires LaTeX2e and the amsfonts package.

v1.1d
 - BUGFIX: The global option 'oldauthor' which was
   introduced in version 1.1c caused an erroneous
   behaviour when used together with
   'idembib=true' (which is the default). This is now
   fixed.
 - New option 'editorstring' which can take the values
   'parens', 'brackets' and 'normal'; the default is
   'parens'. This option sets the string 'editor'
   (abbreviated 'ed.') in parentheses or in brackets, or
   just puts the string (with a preceding comma) after
   the editor name. 
 - New option 'edbeforetitle' which can take the values
   'true' and 'false'; the default is 'false'. When set
   to 'true', the editor in @INCOLLECTION and
   @INPROCEEDINGS entries will be typeset before the
   booktitle ('... in: Editor (ed.): Booktitle ...')
   rather than afterwards ('... in: Booktitle, ed. by
