CTAN Update: uowthesistitlepage
by CTAN Announcements 12 Jan '14

12 Jan '14

Thomas Griffiths submitted an update to the uowthesistitlepage package. Version number: 2.0 License type: lppl Summary description: Typesets the title page of your thesis in accordance with the UOW guidelines. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Added cosupervisor field. The field works the same as supervisor field, but is off by default. The field can either be below the supervisor field or next to it. When next to it the whole block of supervisors is centred as a single unit. The default position is below the supervisor field, but the adjacent style can be tuned on with the horizontal option in the preamble. Added the horizontal option. This uses a tabular environment to put two centred columns in a centred table to place the new cosupervisor adjacent to the supervisor field. It is off by default but if you want it on just give horizontal as a option to the package in the preamble. Added the report option. Prints a nice little title page for lab reports and the like. Adjusted the declaration and dummy text accordingly. Fixed up the declaration page, reworded it to make it, in my opinion, a bit neater sounding. Also fixed the declaration for fullsubject, report and partialsubject so that it is for the completion of the assessment criteria of class. Moved the vspace{biggap} and vspace*{fill} so that the University and School are at the bottom near the date. Removed some LaTeX crimes: egin...{centering} end{centering} to centering, excess return lines. Italicised the requirements. Removed the bold from all but the title. Changed the wording — The degree is now conferred not awarded. Added new pagesize proportional measurements for the margins so that they scale and the title page now works for small pages (tested to A5, 12 pt). Removed lmodern package requirement. Added `Doctor of Philosophy' as the degree definition if option phd (or PhD) is given to the package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/uowthesistitlepage/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/uowthesistitlepage We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: xint
by CTAN Announcements 10 Jan '14

10 Jan '14

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.09j License type: lppl Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.09j 2014/01/09 * The core division routines have been re-written for some (limited) efficiency gain, more pronounced for small divisors. As a consequence, the computation with the algorithm given in the user manual of one thousand digits of Pi is three times faster. Some other small improvements elsewhere. * A new macro xintXTrunc is designed to produce thousands or even tens of thousands of digits of the decimal expansion of a fraction. Although completely expandable it has its use limited to inside an |edef|, |write|, |message|, dots. It can thus not be nested as argument to another package macro. * xintexpr.. elax can now be used inside an edef without the xintthe prefix converting the internal format into explicit digit tokens; it will expand completely and inhibit the error message about a missing xintthe. This can significantly speed up the use of xintexpr in a non-expandable contexts, when dealing with numbers having hundreds of digits. Notice that contrarily to umexpr for which he or umber is necessary not only to print but also to trigger the computation, xintthe is only needed for the printing step (previously xintexpr was already fully expandable under omannumeral-`0). * bug-fix: |1.09i| did an unexplainable change to XINT_infloat_zero which broke the floating point routines for vanishing operands :-(( The first two pages of the user manual give a much clearer view of the aims and abilities of the package. The manual has more of these tremendous applications my (singleton) user base enjoy so much! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
