by CTAN Announcements 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Volker Kuhlmann has provided a new version of his dvipsconfig package. > This is a set of PostScript header files which can be used to > control the printer, like simplex/duplex printing, or the printing, > like screen frequencies of images, or the addition of a grid > underlay. These header files can be inserted with dvips -P into > PostScript files generated by dvips, or with the addpsctrl script > into existing PostScript files. > > New in this version is an upgraded addpsctrl script, and the mmgrid > and a4grid grid underlays (grids are printed underneath the normal > page content). mmgrid has its origin in the bottom left corner, > a4grid in the top left corner. Grids are useful for checking page > layout designs or printing for correctness. thanks for the upload; i've replaced the existing dvipsconfig on ctan, and am updating the catalogue.

CTAN update: KOMA-Script
by CTAN Announcements 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

On Tue, 1 Aug 2006, Markus Kohm submitted a new release of the koma-script package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/koma-script Summary description: KOMA-Script is a versatil LaTeX2e bundle License type: lppl Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working environment. After 4 years of development the release of the LaTeX bundle KOMA-Script 2.95b is available now. KOMA-Script 2.95 was tested for month and should be as stable as KOMA-Script 2.9u was. Nevertheless KOMA-Script 2.95 is a new implementation of the features of KOMA-Script 2.9u. Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95b: - ifthispageodd fixed. This fix also fixes inner/outer margin bug of captionbeside and addmargin. - Line breaks at some messages improved to avoid overfull message lines. - Font variable `sectioning' renamed to `disposition'. `sectioning' still may be used as an alias of the new name. Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95a: - addmargin does not longer damage list depth - switching off option tocleft or listleft does not longer result in an error - vertical alignment of caption fixed Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95: - new source base - bugfix at scrlttr2: foldmarks does not depend on type area - bugfix at scrbook: option oneside activates aggedbottom - english manual (scrguien): describes same features like german manual - manuals: optimized to be used on screen (either portrait screen or on 19 landscape screens together with an editor window) - manuals: html index of all commands, options, environments etc. available (see scrguide.html or scrguien.html) - Simple installation by unpacking koma-script-texmf.zip at any TEXMF root directory (see INSTALLD.txt or INSTALL.txt). NOTE: This feature depends on the distribution. Distributions made by the author (see <URL:http://developer.berlios.de/project/filelist.php?group_id=4307>) have this feature. - license: LPPL 1.3b (see lppl-de.txt or lppl.txt) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN has a new package: xyling
by CTAN Announcements 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

On Mon, 31 Jul 2006, Ralf Vogel submitted a new package called xyling to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xyling Summary description: Macros to draw syntactic trees and similar graphical objects used in linguistics literature, based on xypic. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The macros in this package model the construction of linguistic tree structures as a genuinely graphical problem: they contain two types of objects, BRANCHES and NODE LABELS, and these are positioned relative to a GRID. It is essential that each of these three elements is constructed independent of the other two, and hence they can be modified without unwanted side effects.The macros are based on the xypic package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
