CTAN Update: beamer version 3.07
by CTAN Announcements 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

On Sun, 11 Mar 2007, Till Tantau wrote submitted an update to the beamer package. The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides. Its functionality is similar to Prosper but does not need any external programs and can directly produce a presentation using pdflatex. Beamer uses pgf for pdf/ps independent graphics. Frames are created using frame{...}, and a frame can build multiple slides through a simple notation for specifying material for each slide within a frame. Beamer supports bibliographies, appendicies and transitions. Short versions of title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional parameters. A plainframe{} allows a picture, for example, to fill the whole frame. Support figure and table environments, transparency effects, a ransduration command, animation commands, a pauses environment. Beamer also provides compatibility with other packages like prosper. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/beamer License: GPLv2 Annoucement: After two years, this is the first bugfix release! It fixes some of the most troublesome bugs: 1) The problem with wrong colors after blocks in dvips mode. 2) The wrong name pgfuselayout mentioned in the manual. 3) Frame titles of fragile frames can be given inline. Furthermore, the chaotic license refences have been fixed, copyrighted pictures have been removed and this release should now be perfectly free. Changes: 2007-03-11 Till Tantau <tantau(a)users.sourceforge.net> CVS: - LyX layout removed since it is now part of the LyX development tree. - Cleaned up documentation. - Cleaned up license chaos and removed all possibly copyrighted material. - Fixed incorrect subsubsections in vertical navigation bars. - Fixed problem with overlay specifications in amsmath environments. - Fixed superfluous show in beamerthemeshadow.sty - Fixed color problem in beamer boxes with rounded corners. - Fixed problem with frametitle syntax in fragile frames. - Fixed missing frame subtitles in article mode. - Added french solution translations (due to Philippe De Sousa). _______________________________________________ Thanks for the upload.

On Fri, 2 Mar 2007, Markus Kohm submitted an update to 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 2007/02/03 v2.97 Copyright (c) Markus Kohm , 1994-2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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. -------------------------------------------------------------------- For installation see INSTALL.txt (english) or INSTALLD.txt (german, UTF-8). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes at v2.97: - page break improvements at toc - font of minisec may be configured - new option chapteratlists to add chapter headings to at least lof and lot - fixed at scrlttr2: refline=wide and refline=narrow had inverse meaning - auto dot feature fixed - option cleardoublepage fixed - problem with automark{subsubsection} fixed - setcapwidth does not longer allow with less than 0pt - some minor fixes Changes at v2.96: - Commands, that have an internal and an external name (defined using let@as@internal@defined) may optional be defined only internal (using option internalonly). The backslash of the macro name has to be replaced by a slash at the option argument (e.g. internalonly=/ifvtex/ifundefined). - typearea fix: set opskip. - typearea: warn if ypearea is used at any group. - maketitle sets parskip etc. to avoid strange results and messages. - xkeyval workaround: preserve CurrentOption from being destroyed by xkeyval's setkeys - typearea: uses ProcessOptions* instead of ProcessOptions so options are executed at usage order instead of definition order. - fix: usekomafont of an alias element does work - new: every font size may be set up - fix: parsep at lists (instead of parskip) - new at scrlttr2: option backaddress=plain to avoid underlined back sending address - new at scrlfile: ReplaceClass, ReplacePackage, ReplaceInput - some manual fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script .
