CTAN package update: savetrees

[CTAN Announcements]

the dante daemon pokes its head above ground *yet again*:

> Name of contribution: savetrees
> Version number: 2.0
> Author's name: Scott Pakin
> Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/savetrees
> Summary description: Pack as much text as possible onto each page of a
>		       LaTeX document
> License type: lppl
> 
> Announcement text: 
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as
> possible onto each page of a LaTeX document.  Admittedly,
> this makes the document far less attractive.  Nevertheless,
> savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft
> copies of a document.  It can also be useful when trying to
> meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or
> journal submission.
> 
> This new release, version 2.0, includes major -- and
> non-backwards-compatible -- changes to savetrees.  Package
> options, all of which have been renamed from the previous
> version, now let each of savetrees's space-saving techniques
> be enabled or disabled individually or en masse.  Two new
> space-saving techniques are incorporated into savetrees:
> reducing inter-character spacing and reducing inter-word
> spacing.  savetrees.bib can now work independently of
> savetrees.sty.  The seldom-used makethin script has been
> removed.  The documentation has been improved and now
> includes text samples of some of savetrees's space-saving
> techniques.

thanks for the upload; i've installed the update, and changed the
catalogue repository appropriately.

> This package is located at 
>    http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/savetrees
> More information is at
>    http://www.ctan.org/pkg/savetrees

the catalogue change won't make it to that "other information" until
some time overnight tonight.
