CTAN: Move of protext system image
by CTAN Announcements 29 Apr '05

29 Apr '05

Last night, protext-1.2.exe, the MiKTeX installer image, appeared on CTAN. Protext is distributed as part of the annual user group distribution of discs to members and others. This evening, the new image has been moved from systems/texlive/Images to a new directory systems/protext It was felt that the texlive location for a MiKTeX-derived product was anomalous. We trust that users will find the change helps them in browsing the archive. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN update: isodate package
by CTAN Announcements 25 Apr '05

25 Apr '05

On Mon, 25 Apr 2005, Harald Harders submitted an update to the isodate package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/isodate/ License: LPPL >From the README: Tune the output format of dates. This package provides ten output formats of the commands oday, printdate, printdateTeX, and daterange (partly language dependent): ISO (yyyy-mm-dd), numeric (e.g. dd.,mm.~yyyy), short (e.g. dd.,mm.,yy), TeX (yyyy/mm/dd), original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy), short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy), as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month. The commands printdate and printdateTeX print any date. The date is given as an argument using the actual date format for output: printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or printdate{dd/mm/yyyy}, and printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}. The command daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary year or month entries. E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'. ChangeLog: 2005/04/15 v2.28 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Add Italian language by Philip Ratcliffe. - Introduce option cleanlook for English date format. 2005/03/11 v2.27 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Add option british. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
