the daemon alerts me to an eagerly awaited upload:

> Package version: 2.0
> Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ucs/
> Summary description: Extended UTF-8 input encoding support for LaTeX

> Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
> ----------------------------------------------------------------------
> The ucs package provides advanced support for using UTF-8 as the input

thanks for the upload; i've installed the package as if it were new, and
made an entry for it in the catalogue repository.

The new catalogue entry will have appeared on the web by tomorrow
morning.
