CTAN Package update: tikz-3dplot
by CTAN Announcements 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

the daemon likes coloured shapes, and was grinning when he said: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: tikz-3dplot > Author's name: Jeff Hein > Author's email: jeffrey.d.hein(a)gmail.com > Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-3dplot > Summary description: 3D coordinate transformations and plotting using TikZ > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > The tikz-3dplot package provides straightforward ways to define > three-dimensional coordinate frames through which to plot in TikZ. The > user can specify the orientation of the main coordinate frame, and use > standard TikZ commands and coordinates to render their tikzfigure. A > secondary coordinate frame is provided to allow rotations and > translations with respect to the main coordinate frame. In addition, > The tikz-3dplot package can also handle plotting user-specified > functions in spherical polar coordinates, where both the radius and > fill color can be expressed as parametric functions of polar angles. thanks for the upload; i have installed the files and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/tikz-3dplot.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-3dplot/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

the daemon hasn't had a lot to say, in the last few days, but has today offered: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: fwlw > Author's name: Donald Arseneau > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fwlw > Summary description: Facilitates headers with first word/last word > License type: other-free > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Added a brief license statement -- simple permissive BSD-like.

the daemon told me, when i woke up this morning. > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: fontspec > Author's name: Will Robertson > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fontspec > Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Right before the start of a busy semester, I'm happy to release a small > improvement to fontspec for probably the last time in quick a while: > > Changes introduced in the new version are: > > * Finally add a real error message when a font cannot be found! > * Add Letters=Random feature. > * Fix bug in which Unknown feature `'... warnings > were shown in the log file. > * Some small documentation improvements. thanks for the upload, and sorry for the delay in installing (a machine vital to my tool-chain failed to switch on this morning -- fortunately, a colleague was going into work, and was able to start the machine for me). 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/fontspec.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

CTAN package update: linegoal (v2.9)
by CTAN Announcements 25 Feb '11

25 Feb '11

i don't remember what i was doing, but it was obviously terribly interesting work, because i didn't notice the daemon saying: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: linegoal (v2.9) > Author's name: Florent CHERVET > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/linegoal > Summary description: A ``dimen'' that corresponds to the remainder of the line > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > .

CTAN package update: tabu (v2.6 release)

the daemon obviously noticed i was out of the office, and so it pounced: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: tabu (v2.6 release) > Author's name: Florent CHERVET > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/tabu > Summary description: Flexible LaTeX tabulars > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > - savetabu now also saves abulinesep (ie > abovetabulinesep > and elowtabulinesep) > > - Bug fixed for custom environments when nested > > - aburulecolor now works for the longtabu environment even > if colortbl is not loaded > (same behaviour as for the tabu environments then: > . colored rules only require xcolor.sty, > . colored cells (and columns and rows) require colortbl.sty) thanks for the upload; i have 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/tabu.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tabu The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
