[Fwd: tug.ctan.org upload: pracjourn]
by FTP archive maintainer 07 Mar '06

Below is an upload from Will Robertson that I somehow contrived to misplace. He prompted me, and on reading it, I want to consult before I reply. He is perhaps a bit vague, but I think he is proposing m/l/c/journals/pracjourn . I think he is volunteering to find in our holdings other journal classes, and then we can move them. I can think of a number of reasons to resist that (sounds like work; authors and others have links to the present locations on web pages; some packages are multi-usage, etc.). But OTOH he is an enthusiastic fellow who perhaps could be encouraged and someday induced to do some of my work. I'm inclinded to at least install this package under journals/ and caution him, but I thought I should ask wiser heads.

Please find more information at <http://www.tug.org/pracjourn>. To the CTAN maintainers: if you guys like the idea of subdirectories in contrib, I suggest this be placed within journals. Contact me if you do like this idea and want help in finding/moving journal classes into such a newly created directory. (Also see the conferences subdirectory.) I understand long-term stability might be a reason against such a thing. ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN package update: TengwarScript
by CTAN Announcements 06 Mar '06

06 Mar '06

The package described below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: TengwarScript Author's name: Ignacio Fernndez Galvn Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/tengwarscript Summary description: A package for writing tengwar with LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Update text: In version 1.2 I've created ENC files and virtual fonts, so that now the original TTF font files can be used, at least with pdflatex, and characters from alt fonts are available. There are also some changes in the s-hooks, and roman punctation as well as some alternate tengwar shapes. Description text: The TengwarScript package provides a mid-level access to tengwar fonts while still generating good output by default. Each tengwar sign has an individual command, which should place the sign nicely with relation to the preceding signs. So, to write the word quetta in Quenya mode one would write: TquesseTTacuteTtincoTTdoublerTTthreedots TengwarScript supports several free tengwar fonts, including Dan Smith's fonts, Tengwar Parmaite, Tengwar Annatar and others. The full set of supported fonts can be found in the manual and in the sample tengfonts.pdf file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tengwarscript .

CTAN package update: LaTeXPiX
by CTAN Announcements 01 Mar '06

01 Mar '06

The packge described below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and by now should have made it to your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ================================================================================ The twentyfirst CTAN release (Build 2640) has the following improvements: * New registration procedure implemented. Registration request number is now less flexible and formatting of harddisk and reinstalling Windows should have no effect on the number. The old registration keys still work but will be phased out in half a year. Registered users will have to re-register with the newly generation request number. * Setup program renamed from lpixbeta.exe to lpxsetup.exe. Also the update file has changed from lpixbeta.updateinfo to lpxsetup.updateinfo. * Solved a lot of zooming issues but please mind that the zooming functionality still isn't finished and not adviced to use ! * When editing a single plain text object this was seen as a multiselect edit of the text. * Unitlength specification can now be done in more types of units (i.e. mm, cm, in, pc, pt). Improvement suggestion made by Edward Fondis. * In PGF mode the spline drawing possibility was offered whilst this in not possible. * Carriage return not processed during Plain Framebox and Plain Text. * LaTeXPiX log file viewing moved to main menu group view. * Long single lines in the text editor were causing invalid line breaks. Now long single lines are possible. * Bezier thickness not taken into account in EEPIC mode preview. The ebezier.sty package (v4) can handle Bezier thickness and was also updated in the Style Menu. * Adobe Acrobat 7 document did not close during regeneration of the preview PDF. * After editing objects were not redrawn. * Colour preview panel added. * Added text fields to quick menu. * Quick edit added for plain line, rectangle, square, circle, dot, vector, Bezier curve. * Coordinates displayed when clicking the mouse in edit mode. * Number of free objects to draw before having to register increased from 10 to 25. * Improved logging messages. * Automatically clears preview directory when exiting the program. * Toolbar menu now also allows editing of colour, lines, shade et cetera. When an object is selected it is edited. When no object is selected the settings are applied globally (for new object to create).
