by CTAN Announcements 29 Jan '10

29 Jan '10

i have installed a version of the faq on the archive. This version, 3.19c, contains a lot of tidying, a few mentions of new packages, but isn't otherwise a significant change. the actual list of changed answers may be found in the distribution, as file CHANGES-3.19c; a ChangeLog file is also present in the distribution, Users may view the faq's catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/uk-tex-faq.html or browse the faq's directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq The online version of the faq, which has some eccentrically clunky interaction capabilities and is subject to genuine 1995-style HTML formatting, may be seen at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

Also a Persian user guide is included in the package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/biblio/bibtex/contrib/persian-bib .
