the daemon alerts me to an eagerly awaited upload:

> Name of contribution: ucs

> 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
> encoding of LaTeX files. It goes much beyond the standard UTF-8
> support of LaTeX. For example, it supports much more characters,
> provides facilities for efficiently handling this large number of
> characters, and allows glyph production to be controlled by various
> options. As a result, the ucs package is also suitable for using
> non-ASCII characters when entering mathematical formulas.=20

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.
