CTAN Update: biblatex-chicago
by CTAN Announcements 31 Aug '11

31 Aug '11

On Wed, 31 Aug 2011 David Fussner submitted an update to the biblatex-chicago package. Summary description: Biblatex style files for both Chicago specifications License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This release finally updates biblatex-chicago to work with biblatex version 1.6.

Please see the RELEASE file and biblatex-chicago.pdf for details on all the changes and bug fixes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-chica… .

New CTAN Package: rviewport
by CTAN Announcements 28 Aug '11

28 Aug '11

On Sun, 28 Aug 2011 Boris Veytsman submitted the rviewport package. Summary description: Relative Viewport for Graphics Inclusion License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Package graphicx provides a useful keyword viewport which allows to show just a part of an image. However, one needs to put there the actual coordinates of the viewport window. Sometimes it is useful to have relative coordinates as fractions of natural size. For example, one may want to print a large image on a spread, putting a half on a verso page, and another half on the next recto page. For this one would need a viewport occupying exactly one half of the file's bounding box, whatever the actual width of the image may be. This package adds a new keyword rviewport to the graphicx package specifiying Relative Viewport for graphics inclusion: a window defined by the given fractions of the natural width and height of the image. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/rviewport . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/rviewport (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 .
