Package Update: svn-multi v2.0 released as beta version

Hi,

The svn-multi package got updated and now includes a good amount of
new fancy features:

Keyword/File groups:
Several files (actually their keywords) can be grouped together and
the latest revision information of each group can be typeset anywhere
in the document.

Support for External Files:
External files can be declared inside the document and their keywords
can be included using the provided Perl script "svn-multi.pl". This
files count as part of the current file and group.

Table of Revisions:
A table of revisions can be produced and included which holds the
revision information of the complete document, the declared groups and
all files.

Automatic Declaration of Images as External Files:
To not have the trouble of declaring all included images manually as
external files an feature is provided to handle them automatically.
Currently the 'graphics' (includes 'graphicx') and the 'pgf' package
is supported.

Automatic Declaration of all Files as Extra Groups:
All input files can be automatically declared as independent groups
(in addition to real groups) to allow the access of their revision
information anywhere in the document.

New Style of the Package Manual:
The package manual style got redesigned and hyperlinks between the
macro description and implementation were added. Additional
information for the implementation were provided.


All this features can be enabled using package options (some depend on
each other) to minimize memory usage.

Because of the big amount of new code and the fact that some of it
patches other packages the version is released as beta version here.
The plan is to upload it to CTAN as soon as possible after people had
the chance to report possible problems. Some additional tests using
special test documents are also planned.
Please read the related notes in the package manual.

The first (and hopefully last) beta version of this version can be
downloaded from the new package website:

Feel free to report bugs and request new features using the ticket
system at http://latex.scharrer-online.de/newticket . I would be very
happy to read some comments about the new features, either here or by
personal e-mail.

Happy TeXing,
Martin Scharrer
