by Reinhard Zierke 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

----- Forwarded message from Joris van der Hoeven ----- I just uploaded the new GNU TeXmacs distribution in ftp.dante.de/incoming/TeXmacs The new distribution contains the files TeXmacs-1.0.4-3.i386.rpm TeXmacs-1.0.4-3.src.rpm TeXmacs-1.0.4-R3-src.tar.gz TeXmacs-1.0.4-R3-static-gnu-linux.tar.gz The files should be put into the directory systems/unix/TeXmacs ----------------------------------------------------------- Full announcement ----------------------------------------------------------- I am happy to announce the new stable release 1.0.4 of TeXmacs. The main improvements with respect to TeXmacs-1.0.3 are: * A (very) experimental Windows version (alpha) http://www.texmacs.org/tmweb/download/windows.en.html as well as the official inclusion of TeXmacs into Cygwin. * Higher reactivity for editing large documents and faster booting and loading of files. * A lot of new documentation about the TeXmacs document format, environment variables and tags. * Possibility to work with TrueType fonts instead of Type 3 fonts. * New interfaces with Python, Clisp, Cmucl and Matlab. * Thorough reorganization of the style files, implementation of mutator tags, and location-awareness of internal trees. * Support for the Danish language and partial translation of the documentation into Polish. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:systems/unix/TeXmacs/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN submission -- contour.sty v2.12
by Reinhard Zierke 31 Aug '04

31 Aug '04

----- Forwarded message from Harald Harders ----- I have uploaded contour-v2_12.tar.gz to ftp.dante.de. It contains the new version of the contour page. Please replace all files in CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/contour by the archive's contents. License stays LPPL. >From the README: This package generates a colored contour around a given text in order to enable printing text over a background without the need of a color box around the text. By default this is done by placing copies of the text around the text itself and can be switched to use real outlines if supported by the backend driver. The new feature is to enable vector outlines for backend driver that support this when using vector fonts. Supported are dvips, pdftex, and vtex. Switch on outlines by using the package option 'outline'. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the update. I installed the new version as suggested in CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/contour/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
