the daemon deposits three large jobs in my lap: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Names of the contributions: l3kernel,l3packages,l3experimental > Author's name: LaTeX3 Project > Author's email: latex-t...@latex-project.org > Package version: SVN 2900 > Locations on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/l3kernel,l3packages,l3experimental/ > Summary description: LaTeX3 programming conventions and supporting stuff > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Snapshot of SVN 2900 > -------------------- > > - A new l3str package is included in l3experimental. > This provides a range of 'string' functions for LaTeX3, > for example UTF-8 byte conversions for PDF use. > - Also new in l3experimental is l3regex, a regular > expression search and replace module.

thanks for the uploads; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository (making a first cut catalogue entry for xgalley). > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/l3kernel.html > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/l3packages.html > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/l3experimental.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/l3kernel/ > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/l3packages/ > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/l3experimental/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight, and at the same time, the entry for xgalley will appear for the first time).
