CTAN Pacakge Update: CJK 4.7.0 released
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

On Tue, 17 Oct 2006, Werner LEMBERG submitted the new version 4.7.0 of the cjk package. Location on CTAN: /language/chinese/CJK License: gpl Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf _______________________________________________ This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/chinese/CJK/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=cjk (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . _______________________________________________ CJK 4.7.0 ========= CJK 4.7.0 is available from ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/language/chinese/CJK and other CTAN hosts and its mirrors. Following the CTAN rules, the source files of CJK are unpacked. Additionally, the archive CJK-4.7.0-doc.tar.gz is available, providing some CJK documentation and example files in various output formats. Current development snapshots (updated twice a day) are available as http://cjk.ffii.org/cjk-current.tar.gz Bug reports should go to cjk-bug(a)ffii.org. CJK is a macro package for LaTeX, providing simultaneous support for various Asian scripts in many encodings (including Unicode): Chinese (both traditional and simplified) Japanese Korean Thai A special add-on feature is an interface to the Emacs editor (cjk-enc.el) which gives simultaneous, easy-to-use support to a bunch of other scripts in addition to the above: Cyrillic Greek Latin-based scripts Russian Vietnamese See below for the relevant snippet from the history file. Enjoy! Werner ====================================================================== Version 4.7.0: 17-Oct-2006 new: A new encoding `HK' (C05) is available for Hong Kong's HKSCS-2004, used in combination with Big 5. `UTF8' encoding now supports full Unicode (up to U+10FFFF). Subfont planes for ranges greater than U+FFFF consist of four hexadecimal digits (for example `foo025E' which covers U+25E00-U+25EFF). The Unicode command (and CJKchar) has been extended to accept Unicode values greater than U+FFFF. CJKutf8.sty: Support Unicode encoded bookmarks if the hyperref package is used. Automatically generate ToUnicode cmaps for pdftex (tested with pdftex version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2; it currently doesn't work with virtual fonts). Caption files in UTF-8 encoding have been added; the files are identical to the encoding-specific versions. ja Japanese ko-Hang Korean using Hangul ko-Hang2 another version using Hangul ko-Hani Korean using Hanja zh-Hans Chinese simplified zh-Hant Chinese traditional errors: UTF-8 input character 0x80 was handled only partially. pinyin.sty: The package didn't preserve `ding' which is defined in pifont.sty, causing problems with older versions of the hyperref package and its `hpdftex' driver option. CJK.sty: Make it work with font definition files (like the ones from the fourier package) which expect that the loading-settings are called only once. The use of caption files within the `scrartcl' class made chapter a defined command (instead of reporting an error). With the koma-script classes, all CJK caption files except for Korean produced bad looking TOC entries for part.

CTAN has a new package: magyar.ldf 1.5
by CTAN Announcements 19 Oct '06

The material described below has been installed on tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: New Hungarian Babel language definition (magyar.ldf 1.5) Author's name: Péter Szabó Location on CTAN: /language/hungarian/babel Summary description: New Hungarian Babel language definition (magyar.ldf 1.5) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- An update to magyar.ldf (version 1.5) has been available since 2004 from http://www.math.bme.hu/latex/ . Although the update has been sent to the Babel authors in 2004, Babel still contains the old, buggy, incompatible version (1.4, ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/babel/magyar.dtx ), which not only fails to implement many typographic features required by the Hungarian language, it also conflicts with many other packages and classes, such as amsart.cls, graphics.sty and hyperref.sty. Hungarian LaTeX users are generally happy with the new version 1.5, and most can be solved by asking the user to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5. See more nfo about Hungarian typography in LaTeX in our TUG 2004 article (get it from http://www.inf.bme.hu/~pts/ , search for TUG 2004). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hungarian/babel .
