CTAN Update: dvisvgm
by CTAN Announcements 28 Apr '13

28 Apr '13

Martin Gieseking submitted an update to the dvisvgm package. License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- dvisvgm is a command-line utility that converts DVI files to SVG. The recent release 1.2.2 is a bugfix release with the following most important changes: - A bug that prevented the lookup of font map files has been fixed. - Builds for MiKTeX now print a warning message rather than aborting with an exception if MiKTeX isn't installed. - dvisvgm prints a warning message if PostScript specials were found but ignored because Ghostscript is unavailable. For further information including a more detailed list of recent changes and pre-compiled binaries for Windows/MiKTeX see the project page http://dvisvgm.sourceforge.net ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/dviware/dvisvgm . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/dvisvgm (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: xint
by CTAN Announcements 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.04 of xint (2013/04/25) This release has some bug fixes, important improvements in the xintseries package and its documentation, and a new component xintcfrac.sty devoted to continued fractions. 1. bug fixes: xintIrr {0} was a bad one. Apart from that, there were some inaccuracies in the documentation. 2. the base package xint has new commands to help deal in an expandable way with token lists produced by some of the bundle macros. Also, the division routine is a bit faster, and a rounding macro has been added to the xintfrac package. 3. xintseries: a new implementation of xintPowerSeries, based on a Horner scheme, has greatly reduced a problem of denominator build-up. Also, the package has new macros, among them xintRationalSeries is for computing partial sums with general term F(n) where F is a rational function and the macro is given the n->F(n)/F(n-1) function. This is especially designed for series of the exponential type, again to avoid a denominator build-up which made xintSeries and xintPowerSeries inefficient in such situations. The documentation has been correspondingly extended. 4. xintcfrac: this is a new package to deal with matters of continued fractions. For example xintCFrac is like amsmath cfrac apart from a little detail: it first computes the continued fraction corresponding to a given fractional number! (and then feeds cfrac with it; almost all package macros only deal with computations, not typesetting). The package includes commodities to specify the coefficients of the (possibly generalized) continued fraction as function of the index, to compute simple and centered continued fractions, to return the list of all convergents, etc... The xint.dtx source file self-extracts packages xint.sty, xintgcd.sty, xintfrac.sty, xintseries.sty and xintcfrac.sty (as well as xint.ins). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint (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 .
