New on CTAN: adhocfilelist
by CTAN Announcements 17 Oct '12

17 Oct '12

Uwe Lück submitted the adhocfilelist package to CTAN. Summary description: listfiles entries from command line License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `adhocfilelist.sh' is a shell script to display a list of LaTeX Provides... contents on screen. Parameters can be either a list of comma-separated file names or criteria for the Unix `find' utility, especially to restrict the list to LaTeX source files modified <digits> days ago, such as today. Command line options provide interfaces to the find utility and to packages `myfilist', `longnamefilelist', and `nicefilist' for accessing and aligning those file informations. DOCUMENTATION: The manual `adhocfilelist.htm' can be read by a web browser, and the command line option `-h' provides an abridged version of it. REQUIRED: This works on Unix-like systems only, and probably the GNU version of `find' is required. The LaTeX bundle `fileinfo' must be installed, and full functionality requires the LaTeX packages `longnamefilelist' and `nicefilelist'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/adhocfilelist . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/adhocfilelist (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: dateiliste
by CTAN Announcements 15 Oct '12

15 Oct '12

Paul Ebermann submitted an update to the dateiliste package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update fixes two bugs: - this package introduced hard spaces in captions (and maybe on other locations, too) when used together with Babel. These are now removed. - When used without listfiles, compilation hung in an endless loop. Now we give a warning instead. Thanks to Matthias Pospiech, Markus Kohm and Andrew Swann for reporting the bug and analyzing the causes. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/75533/3335 for some background. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/dateiliste .
