Robert N{u}rnberg reported two problems in ionumbers v0.2.1-alpha: 1. compilation of code like $a^0$ or $sqrt 2$ will fail, if the digit (or sign/point/comma) is not grouped in curly braces 2. the operatorname macro of amsmath/amsopn leads to an error in combination with ionumbers In the current release (v0.2.3-alpha) the following fixes are included: 1. by adding a special handling of the first character of a number an ungrouped single digit or sign will no longer lead to a failure (similar to the ziffer.sty package, point and comma will still lead to a failure in these (rare) cases from the examples above; this is documented) 2. a warning message is added for the case that amsmath/amsopn is loaded; as a workaround the ionumbers package should be loaded as last package (as already suggested) and the operatorname macro should be used in ionumbersoff (this is documented); this problem is a result of amsopn's strategy of saving the standard mathcode of - and can hardly be fixed in ionumbers (amsopn together with ziffer.sty leads to the same error) 3. the ionumbers_test file contains a lot of different input with the output and expected output of ionumbers for different package options; this makes it easier to test ionumbers especially after changes Thanks a lot to Robert for his bug reports! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ionumbers .

CTAN Update: pdfcomment

19 Dec '08

On Tue, 16 Dec 2008, Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LATEX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment .
