I found the CTAN announcement cited below from in February --
HTH, Uwe Lueck.

Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/marginnote
Summary description: marginnote allows margin note, where \marginpar fails
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides the command \marginnote that may be
used instead of \marginpar at almost every place, where
\marginpar cannot be used, e.g. inside floats, footnotes,
frames made with framed package ...
