On Wed, 29 Nov 2006, Uwe Kern submitted an update to the
xcolor
package.
Xcolor provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color
tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to
select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for
conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command
for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like
horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like
color{red!30!green!40!blue}.

- several changes to internal macros.

Summary description: Wrapper for pst-pdf (with some psfrag features)
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
auto-pst-pdf uses --shell-escape to execute pst-pdf when necessary.
This makes it especially easy to integrate into the workflow of an editor
with just LaTeX and pdfLaTeX buttons.
Wrappers are provided for various psfrag-related features so that
Matlab figures via laprint, Mathematica figures via MathPSfrag, and
regular psfrag figures can all be input consistently and easily.

Summary description: Typeset crystallographic group-subgroup-schemes
in Bärnighausen formalism
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The aim of the package gu.sty is to simplify typesetting of simple
crystallographic group-subgroup-schemes in the Bärnighausen formalism. It
defines a new environment stammbaum, wherein all elements of the scheme
are defined. Afterwards all necessary dimensions are calculated and the
scheme is drawn. Currently two steps of symmetry reduction are supported.
Das Paket gu.sty erleichtert das Setzen von einfachen kristallographischen
Gruppe-Untergruppe-Schemata im Bärnighausen-Formalismus und/oder
Lagenfortführungstabellen. Die einzelnen Elemente und Abstände werden
innerhalb einer neuen Umgebung namens stammbaum mittels vorgegebener
Kommandos definiert. Anschließend werden alle Abstände automatisch berechnet
und der Stammbaum und/oder die Tabellen ausgegeben. Momentan werden maximal
zwei Abstiegsschritte unterstützt.
