CTAN package update: natbib
by CTAN Announcements 30 Oct '07

30 Oct '07

The package below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: natbib Author's name: Patrick Daly Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/natbib Summary description: Update to natbib and bibentry License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems that the use of edef in natbib was causing some other packages not to function correctly. This has now been replaced by protected@edef which hopefully will work better. In the bibentry companion, a global definition for the doi macro is included; this appears in many of the modern bibtex styles. Normally, this is used only within thebibliography where a local definition is provided. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/natbib .

CTAN Update: autolatex 5.3
by CTAN Announcements 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

On Sat, 6 Oct 2007, Stephane Galland submitted an update to the autolatex package. AutoLaTeX is a set of GNU Make and Perl scripts that may be used to compile LaTeX projects. AutoLaTeX automates the compilation process by calling (pdf)latex and bibtex as they are required. It supports pdflatex, latex, dvips, epstopdf and bibtex. AutoLaTeX also provides a powerful feature for automatic generation of the figures that are included in the LaTeX project: for several figure sources (xfig, dia, umbrello, png, svg, xmi...) AutoLaTeX is able to generate the appropriate PDF picture. AutoLaTeX also supports pstex format generation (from xfig and gnuplot for example). The use of AutoLaTeX on the command line is similar to GNU Make. AutoLaTeX should be called with several targets to run.
