CTAN Update: Package xbase moved

[CTAN Announcements]

On Fri, 20 Jun 2008 Morten Høgholm submitted an update to the

  xbase

package.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/project/xbase
Summary description: Update and move of xbase
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The xbase bundle provides the packages xparse and template, and the support package ldcsetup.

The packages require expl3 to be installed.

The xparse provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands, 
e.g., a uniform way to define commands taking optional arguments, optional stars 
(and others), mandatory arguments and more.
 
The template package provides an interface for defining generic functions using a key=val syntax.

The ldcsetup package used to establish prototype LaTeX3 coding conventions, 
needed by xparse and xbase, but is now slowly being stripped in favor of 
functionality added to expl3.
 
The LaTeX Team has decided to move xbase from
   macros/latex/exptl/project
to
   macros/latex/contrib/project
to indicate that the code is now less volatile and can be used in everyday use. 
Changes will happen with time but we feel that in its present state it is quite usable. 
 
All files are also available in the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project, which is located at
   http://www.latex-project.org/svnroot/experimental/trunk

The bundle on CTAN is a snapshot of the SVN repository as of 2008/06/20.
