This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Asymptote Author's name: Andy Hammerlindl and John Bowman Location on CTAN: /graphics/asymptote Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A bezulate bug was fixed. The resolution and caching of texpath were improved; for PDF tex engines, the basealign pen attribute is now respected. Support for OCG layers was added. Lights Headlamp and White were implemented; the predefined adobe light was removed. Holes are now handled in superpath-to-surface constructor when planar=true. A degenerate transform3 issue was fixed. The alignment of rendered and PRC images was improved; the angle for rendering absolute projections was fixed. Inaccurate TeX and ConTeXt font scalings were fixed. A texsize(string, pen=currentpen) function returns the raw TeX dimensions {width,height,depth}. A new version of asymptote.sty (1.07) fixes attach=true mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

CTAN has a new package: tabularew
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

This package is new at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michaels College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: tabularew Author's name: Diego Saba Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/tabularew Summary description: tabular extension to improve alignment of multicolumn cells License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The tabularew environment is similar to tabular (LaTeX kernel) but adds a new command to modify the horizontal alignment in certain circumstances. It solves the problem of centering multicolumn headings when they are wider than the text underneath them. (In a tabular environment they are aligned to the left, even if they contain a c in their preamble.) It is actually a workaround for a (mis)feature of TeX alignment algorithm. Comments and suggestions are welcome, especially for the user interface. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tabularew . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/tabularew (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Asymptote Author's name: Andy Hammerlindl and John Bowman Location on CTAN: /graphics/asymptote Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Issues with 3D labels and texpath, both in inlinetex mode and with the ConTeXt TeX engine, were resolved. A bug in bezulate was fixed. A partial workaround was added for the unimplememented -output-directory ConTeXt option (the current directory must still be writeable). The aspect ratio and viewportmargin calculation in module three was improved, with tighter 3D bounds. A bug in the intersections(path3, surface) routine was fixed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

CTAN Update: hyph-utf8
by CTAN Announcements 01 Jun '09

01 Jun '09

On Sat, 30 May 2009 Mojca Miklavec and Arthur Reutenauer submitted an update to the hyph-utf8 package. Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc). The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for TeX are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns. Location on CTAN: /language/hyph-utf8/ Summary description: UTF-8 hyphenation patterns License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fix for Spanish patterns ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/language/hyph-utf8/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=hyph-utf8 (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
