CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

On Sun, 10 Aug 2008 Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. It is a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.7) and cannot be used without it. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1f - BUGFIX: Corrected wrong punctuation when using 'idembib= false' in conjunction with an editor. - Added crossref functionality (using biblatex's field 'xref'). This works for authortitle-dw as well as footnote-dw. For further information please have a look into the package documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

CTAN Update: sketch
by CTAN Announcements 11 Aug '08

11 Aug '08

On Sun, 10 Aug 2008 Eugene K. Ressler submitted an update to the sketch package. Location on CTAN: /graphics/sketch Summary description: 3d sketching in a PSTricks-like language; major update License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a major update to the previous CTAN upload of Sketch. It has important adaptations to newer PSTricks versions, adds support for ConTeXt, and fixes a few bugs. Sketch is a small, simple system for producing line drawings of three-dimensional objects and scenes. It began as a way to make illustrations for a textbook after we could find no suitable tool for this purpose. Existing scene processors emphasized GUIs and/or photo-realism, both un-useful to us. We wanted to produce finely wrought, mathematically-based illustrations with no extraneous detail and be able to easily overlay TeX math and text. The input language is reminiscent of PSTricks, so will be easy to learn for current PSTricks users. See http://www.frontiernet.net/~eugene.ressler . ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/sketch .
