New CTAN Package: lualatex-platform
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

On Fri, 29 Apr 2011 Philipp Stephani submitted the lualatex-platform package. Summary description: An extension module for platform-specific code useful for LuaTeX License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While often platform-specific problems can be handled purely in Lua, it sometimes happens that access to the native operating system API is required. For such tasks, Lua allows loading extension modules written in C (or other languages provided that they can produce a dynamic library that exports a certain C-style function). The lualatex-platform package aims to provide such an extension module that is usable from both Lua and LuaTeX and adds a small set of features not available otherwise. At the moment, it merely supports listing the fonts known to the operating system; this feature will hopefully be integrated into the luaotfload package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/luatex/contrib/lualatex-platform . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/lualatex-platform (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 .

CTAN Update: systems/luatex reorganisation
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

Recently, the first extension module for luatex was submitted to CTAN. In order to put this in its appropriate location, we decided to move luatex proper from systems/luatex to systems/luatex/base and create a new subtree systems/luatex/contrib (as we have done for other packages).

CTAN Update: bundledoc
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

On Mon, 2 May 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the bundledoc package. Summary description: Bundle together all the files needed to build a LaTeX document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bundledoc is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles together all the classes, packages, and files needed to build a given LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc. As an added bonus, this distribution includes a small script called arlatex. arlatex is a LaTeX-specific archiving program that combines a bunch of files into a single .tex file. When the .tex file is run through latex, all of the original files are recreated and the LaTeX document is built. bundledoc can be easily configured to use arlatex as its archiver in place of tar, zip, etc. Version 3.1 includes a --listdeps option that instructs bundledoc to list all of the document's dependencies, optionally without even producing an archive. (This feature was proposed by Tobias Mueller.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/bundledoc . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/bundledoc (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 .

CTAN Update: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

On Sun, 1 May 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: title, authors, primary author's title or position, metadata writer, subject, keywords, copyright, and license URL. hyperxmp currently embeds XMP only within PDF documents but is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 1.3 fixes a bug caused by the use of hyperref's unicode option, adds a new pdfmetalang option for specifying the language in which the metadata is written, cleans up some of the code, and updates much of the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp .

CTAN Update: ctable
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

On Sat, 30 Apr 2011 Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the ctable package. Summary description: sideways option did not work anymore; corrected License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered or left or right aligned tables and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ctable .
