CTAN Update: softmaker-freefont

On Tue, 1 Dec 2009, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the

  softmaker-freefont

package.

Location on CTAN: /fonts/softmaker-freefont/
Summary description: Support files for SoftMaker free fonts available at www.freefont.de
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In June 2009 www.freefont.de offered a beautiful handwriting font
for free download: The Softmaker Stone Handwriting.
As handwriting fonts are a quite limited resource in the LaTeX world,
i decided to create support files for this beautiful font. Therefore,
Stone Handwriting will be the starting point for the softmaker-freefont 
bundle. Other fonts will be included in future.

Supported fonts at the moment: 
Congress (regular + bold + italic), Delano-Caps, Flagstaff, Henderson,
Iceberg (regular + bold), Old Blackletter, Stone Handwriting

 
License: LPPL (not the fonts themselves)

New in v1.6:

 - added support for the blackletter font Old Blackletter
   (This font offers additional ligatures for ch, ck, ft, tz!)

Jim Hef{}feron
Saint Michael's College

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

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor:

Name of contribution: latexmk
Version number: 4.11
Author's name: John Collins
Location on CTAN: /support/latexmk
Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation routine V. 4.11
License type: gpl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  Corrects a long-standing bug that when the main file
uses bibtex, and uses \include for subdocuments, changes in
bibliography citations did not always trigger a rerun of bibtex.
2. Fixed a problem that latexmk did not detect changed aux
files etc on a small document when the run of (pdf)latex was
within the 1-second granularity of filetimes. 
3. Improved start-up times on some large documents by
avoiding unnecessary recalculations of md5 checksums.
4. Deals better with eps-to-pdf conversions reported by
epstopdf package.
5. Minor fixes and improvements.
