New on CTAN: xevlna
Zdeněk Wagner submitted the xevlna package. Summary description: Insertion of nonbreakable spaces by XeTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: -- The purpose of the package is to insert nonbreakable spaces (in Czech vlna or vlnka) after nonsyllabic prepositions and single letter conjuctions directly while TeXing the document. The macros recognise math and verbatim by TeX means. Inserting nonbreakable spaces by a preprocessor may never be fully reliable because user defined macros and environments cannot be recognised. It can be used by both XeLaTeX and plain XeTeX. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/xetex/generic/xevlna .

CTAN Update: numericplots
Thomas König, Alexander Michel, Michael Baumgart submitted an update to the numericplots package. Summary description: Plot numeric data (including Matlab export) using PSTricks. License type: gpl Announcement text: -- Plotting numeric data is a task which often has to be done for scientific papers. In LaTeX, however, it is only possible to include graphics created with an external program. The pstricks-packages provide many commands to generate graphics in LaTeX. To generate simple graphics from numeric data, however, it is difficult to use. This package provides a simpler interface for the pstricks-package to plot numeric data. The implementation of the distance between axes and Labels/TickLabels was changed completely. The Options xLabelSep, yLabelSep and LabelBP have been replaced. Please see documentation. Many improvements to the code and the documentation. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pstricks/contrib/numericplots .
