CTAN Update: AutoLaTeX
by CTAN Announcements 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Stéphane Galland submitted an update to the AutoLaTeX package. Version number: 28.0 License type: gpl Summary description: Major feature enhancements and bug fixes. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The translator from SVG+layers to PDF is fixed to not create images that are too large for LaTeX lengths. In the previous versions, Inkscape was used to generate an EPS file which is converted to PDF, but in some cases, graphical elements are lost in the PDF file. To avoid this problem, Inkscape is now directly generating the PDF files. AutoLaTeX is now able to output detailled warnings on the CLI. This feature may be enabled with the '--Wall' command line option. Major bugs are fixed: the string encoding when invoking system commands (exec, system, etc.), the enabling state of the Gedit's components. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/autolatex/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/autolatex We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
