CTAN package update: interpreter
by CTAN Announcements 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

and, in rapid succession, the daemon tells me: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: interpreter > Author's name: Paul Isambert > Package version: 1.1 > Location on CTAN: macros/luatex/generic/ > Summary description: Translates input files on the fly. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Interpreter has been rewritten with the Gates package (Lua version); > this doesn't change anything for basic usage, but now the code can be > modified easily to anybody's whim. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/interpreter.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/luatex/generic/interpreter The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

New CTAN package: gates
by CTAN Announcements 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

the jolly old daemon doesn't suffer from colds, like me... > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: gates > Author's name: Paul Isambert > Package version: 0.1 > Location on CTAN: macros/generic/ > Summary description: Implementing modular and customizable code. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Gates is designed to write code in a modular fashion: big macros or > functions are divided into small chunks (called gates) with names, > which can be externally controlled (e.g. they can be disabled, > subjected to conditionals, loops...) and/or augmented with new chunks. > > Thus complex code can be easily customized without having to rewrite > it, or even understand its implementation: the behavior of existing > gates can be modified, and new ones can be added, without endangering > the whole design. This allows code to be hacked in ways the original > authors might have never envisioned. > > Gates is implemented independantly for both TeX and Lua. The TeX > implementation requires the texapi package, whereas the Lua version > can be run with any Lua interpreter, not just LuaTeX. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and created an entry in the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/gates.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/generic/gates/ The catalogue entry will first appear on the web some time overnight tonight.

CTAN package update: latexmk
by CTAN Announcements 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

the daemon cries (so that even my deaf ears hear it): > Name of contribution: latexmk > Author's name: John Collins > Package version: 4.28c > Location on CTAN: support/latexmk/ > Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation routine > License type: gpl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1. When biber doesn't find the bib file, latexmk treats this as a > warning rather than a fatal error, so further processing can continue > normally. > 2. Latexmk now parses correctly error messages from biber v. 0.9.7. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/latexmk.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/latexmk/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

On Thu, 1 Dec 2011 Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the chemnum package. Summary description: a comprehensive approach for the numbering of chemical compounds License type: lppl Announcement text: Yes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - bugfix: sublabels now work, when label names contain a colon - new key: cmpd-weight - key list-sep renamed into list-output-sep - new key list-input-sep: you can choose, how different label names are separated; this enables to use IUPAC names like 1,2-dichloroethane as a label name, although they contain commas ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/chemnum/ . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/chemnum (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 .

New CTAN package: SASnRdisplay
by CTAN Announcements 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

the daemon wakes me from my mid-day snooze: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: SASnRdisplay > Author's name: Lars Madsen > Package version: 0.9 > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/SASnRdisplay/ > Summary description: Package to typeset SAS or R code or output. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > From the README: > > Where I work statisticians mostly use SAS and R when doing > calculations or simulations. Thus they need to be able to import > results or source code into their LaTeX projects. > > This package is an extension to an earlier (unreleased) package which > only handled SAS. The package simply serve as a sort of front end to > the listings package, creating some new lstlisting like environments > and import macros similar to lstinputlisting. > > All configuration is handled via a hierarchy of listings style. > > The is package also capable of overloading the Sweave and SASweave packages. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/sasnrdisplay.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/sasnrdisplay/ The catalogue entry will first appear some time overnight tonight.
