Dear Maintainer(s),

on the Package Tracker the new upstream version. 2.007, is not
mentioned. Is an upgrade to upstream version 2.007 intended?
Especially, version 2.006 has some bug fixes, see
https://www.gust.org.pl/projects/e-foundry/latin-modern/download/lm-hist.txt/view .

Many thanks for your support.
Regards,
Jörg.

Hello,

Yes, I will package the new version sooner or later, however I was not
aware, that there /is/ a new version. For now I've created a d/watch
file, which will inform me about new versions, once the Debian package
containing that version, has entered the archive.

Are you willing to test a new lmodern package?

Hi Hilmar,

of course I am. I'm a regular user of the lmodern LaTeX package and have several
LaTeX files which make use of the lmodern fonts. I mainly use pdflatex to
generate pdf documents.
Do you suggest other tests?

Regards,
Jörg.

Hello,
Maybe rather contact the lmodern authors to push their stuff to CTAN.
I'll try to care later if I have time.
