CTAN package update: pst-optexp
by CTAN Announcements 06 Sep '07

06 Sep '07

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and the changes should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: pst-optexp Author's name: Christoph Bersch Location on CTAN: /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp Summary description: A PSTricks package to draw optical experimental setups License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package pst-optexp is a collection of optical components that facilitate easy sketching of optical experimental setups. Mechanisms for proper alignment of different components are provided internally. This way the user does not have to care for proper orientation of the elements. Changes in v1.1: * Considerably enhanced labeling of the components. Added new parameter 'labelref' which specifies the reference coordinate system for the label positioning and the rotation of the label. Default is labelref=relgrav, the label point is rotated together with the component, but the label text itself is not rotated. * parameter labelrelative is now obsolete, and replaced by labelref=relative. It will be removed in future versions. * parameter polwidth, bswidth, iwidth and owidth are now obsolete, and replaced by polsize, bssize, innerheight and outerheight for consistency reasons. They will be removed in future versions. * macro polarisation was changed to polarization for consistency reasons. The old notation is obsolete and will be removed in future versions. * fixed bug: filling of all components with 'fillstyle' is now possible. * fixed bug: added some liftpen=1 in the code to fix the look of the lenses and the optgrid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp .

04 Sep '07

On Mon, 3 Sep 2007, Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update to the mkjobtexmf package. The progam mkjobtexmf runs a program and tries to find the used file names. Two methods are available, option -recorder of TeX (Web2C) or the program strace. Then it generates a directory with a texmf tree. It checks the found files and tries sort them in this texmf tree.

CTAN Update: references v4.3d
by CTAN Announcements 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

On Thu, 30 Aug 2007 at 16:55 +0200, Volker Kiefel submitted version 4.3d of the references package. Location on CTAN: support/references License: gpl Summary: REFERENCES is bibliographic software for authors of scientific manuscripts and for management of bibliographic data of ARTICLES IN JOURNALS, of BOOKS, of CHAPTERS IN BOOKS and other document types including notes and electronic documents. REFERENCES supports LaTeX including BibTeX. Bibliographic records in MEDLINE format are easily imported. Retrieval of references is possible by keywords, authors' or editors' names, date of publication, title of article, book title, journal name and other data fields. Lists of references and formatted citations in the text can be compiled in any bibliographic style required by the publishers of scientific journals. REFERENCES is provided with a text based console interface compiled for win32-systems and as Linux port. An external text editor is required for editing data. Changes in v4.3d: For books, the ISBN field has been enlarged to 20 characters due to the change of the international standard book number format in 2007. Linux version only: menu options in square brackets may now be highlighted (controlled by the ENABLE_HL variable in the configuration file). A new awk script ``emptylines.awk'' added: removes empty lines from a text file. Bugfix: incorrect assessment of string length (Linux systems with utf-8 encoding) fixed. All changes and recommendations for use of the new version may be found in the history.txt document. The manual (refsdok.pdf) has been updated. _______________________________________________ This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/references/ .
