LaTeX anniversary release 2003/12
by Rainer Schöpf 13 Mar '04

13 Mar '04

Who remembers December 23, 1993, when the first public release of LaTeX2e appeared? The LaTeX3 Project Team wishes to announce the LaTeX 10th Anniversary Release, officially dated December 2003. It contains numerous changes, additions and improvements, some of which I'd like to mention: - (Partial, experimental) support for Unicode input: the inputenc package has a new option utf8. - New version of the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL), now DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) approved. - TLC2 - The LateX Companion, 2nd edition is about to appear For more info, see the news sheets ltnews15 and ltnews16 in the documentation directory (see below). At the same time, the website of the LaTeX3 Project Team has a new look. Come and visit: http://www.latex-project.org/ As usual, the files can be downloaded from a CTAN mirror near you. Go to the CTAN root directory and look for macros/latex/base Documentation (in PDF) can be found in macros/latex/doc The required packages are in macros/latex/required -- Rainer Schöpf

CTAN has a new package: Nkarta
by Jim Hefferon 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and it should make its way to your favorite mirror real soon. Thank you for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: Nkarta Author's name: Daniel H. Luecking Location on CTAN: fonts/nkarta Summary description: A corrected version of the karta font License type: unknown Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The font karta.mf had a few problems. The font nkarta contains the same characters, but two incorrect ones are corrected. Also, most strange path errors have been eliminated and capacity exceeded errors have been reduced. Moreover, the same figures have been provided as MetaPost code. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/nkarta although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN package update: CurVe
by Jim Hefferon 11 Mar '04

11 Mar '04

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: macros/contrib/curve Summary description: A Curriculum Vitae class for LaTeX2e - Version 1.6 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. New in version 1.6: ** Support for rubric and subrubric titles horizontal alignment ** Support for standard LaTeX page style mechanism ** Support for oneside and twoside options ** Support for Portuguese thanks to Adiel Mittmann <adiel(a)inf.ufsc.br> ** Bug fix in ibliography ** Fix conflict with Hyperref - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/contrib/curve although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
