what, me? (i'm only working on one latex document, atm -- the faq --
which we call "latex" as a courtesy, so that it doesn't get tetchy.)
anyway, thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version and
updated the catalogue repository.

the delayed announcement means that the catalogue entry is probably
up-to-date, by now.

mylatexformat – Build a format based on the preamble of a LaTeX file
The use of formats helps to speed up compilations: packages which have been dumped in the format are loaded at very high speed. This is useful when a document loads many packages (including large packages such as pgf-TikZ).
The package was developed from the work in mylatex, and eliminates many of the limitations and problems of that package.
