Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`ionumbers' stands for `input/output numbers'.

This package restyles numbers in math mode. If a number in the input file 
is written, e.g., as |$3,231.44$| as commonly used in English texts, this 
package is able to restyle it to be output as `$3\,231{,}44$' as commonly
 used in German texts (and vice versa). This may be very useful, if you 
have a large table and want to include it in texts with different output 
conventions without the need of changing the table.

Furthermore this package can automatically group digits left to the 
decimal separator (thousands) and right to the decimal separator

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw

On Sun, 9 Nov 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an upadte to 
the 

  biblatex-dw

package.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/
Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
version 1.2b
 - BUGFIX: With 'xref=true', the first (full) citation did 
   not show the overall pages of @INBOOK, @INCOLLECTION and 
   @INPROCEEDINGS entries. This is now fixed.
 - New option 'nolocation'. If set to 'true', the location 
   and the publisher are omitted (even if you set 
   'nopublisher=false'). The default is 'false', i.e. the 
   location is printed.
 - The option 'shorthandibid' can now also be used on a 
   per-entry basis.
 - Improved xref support: If the 'volume' field of a child 
   entry is set and the 'volume' field of the corresponding 
   parent entry is not set, the volume of the child entry 
   will be printed immediately before the pages.
