On Tue, 15 Jul 2008, Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update of the hyperref package. > Excerpt from hyperref's ChangeLog: > > 6.78a > * Removal of option `dvipdf' and driver `hdvipdf.def'. > * Driver detection is changed: hyperref respects the setting > of pdfoutput and does not change it. Also pdfcompresslevel > is not changed anymore. > > 6.77r > * New option `pdfa': It tries to make the PDF code, generated > by hyperref, more compatible to PDF/A, thus that the PDF file > can be more easily converted by Adobe Acrobat, for example. > (Many PDF/A related things are not under the control of hyperref.) > > 6.77n > * New option `linktoc' added, see README. > > And lots of bug fixes. > More details, see ChangeLog.

CTAN package update: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities - 07
by CTAN Announcements 16 Jul '08

16 Jul '08

This package has been updated at 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: Update: Stellenbosch thesis and other utilities - 07 Author's name: Danie Els Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch Summary description: Typesetting dissertations, theses and reports of the University of Stellenbosch, South Africa. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The usthesis class/style files are provided to typeset reports, theses and dissertations that conform to the requirements of the Engineering Faculty of the University of Stellenbosch. The class file usthesis.cls is based on the standard LaTeX book class, while usthesis.sty is a style file to be loaded on top of the very powerful memoir class. Both options give identical output, but the benefit of the using memoir is that it has many additional command and environments for formatting and processing of a document. Usthesis is primarily concerned with the formatting of the front matter such as the title page, abstract, etc. and a decent page layout on A4 paper. It also works together with the babel package to provide language options to typeset documents in Afrikaans or in English. Additional packages are provided for bibliographic matter, note title pages, lists of symbols, as well as various graphic files for logos. CHANGES FROM 06: USthesis: v4.0 a) Fix errors in report title page b) Move all language specific commands to external files c) Comply with University requirements - Change declaration page d) Update documentation e) Fix ifpdf error in usthesis.cls USnomencl: v1.1 a) Add UnitLine command to type lines with unit declarations Thesis templates: a) Change templates for new options in memoir class b) Remove unnecessary packages ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/stellenbosch .
