CTAN Update: pkuthss
by CTAN Announcements 12 Apr '14

12 Apr '14

Casper Ti. Vector submitted an update to the pkuthss package. Version number: 1.5.0 License type: other-free Summary description: LaTeX template for dissertations in Peking University Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes (relative to v1.4 rc4) ------------------------------ * Changes to package code: - pkuthss.cls: do not disable `uppercase' in `nouppermark' mode. * Changes to example template: - Split from documentation. - Also offer pdf for the example template. * Changes to documentation: - Remove support for CRLF (except for Windows .bat's), as required by CTAN. - Relicense to LPPL v1.3+ (not including the example template). * Misc: - Switch to the x.y.z version scheme, thus no longer use alpha/beta/rc. - Minor fixes and improvements. Details and trivia ------------------ * The most important change is that we now offer a template that is much simpler than previous versions, because the template is now separated from the documentation. * Another significant change is that we now use the `x.y.z' version scheme rather than `1.4 alpha1' or so, because we realise that our release cycle is really non-deterministic, and the new scheme is more more flexible and suitable for us. * In fact, v1.4 is released as an intermediate version earlier today, but not uploaded because CTAN does not seem to host coexistent versions of the same package ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pkuthss/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pkuthss We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN update: Lollipop

the daemon reports a resurrection of one of the more attractive packages from the olden days: > Name of contribution: Lollipop > Author's name: Victor Eijkhout and Vafa Khalighi > Package version: 0.98 > Location on CTAN: macros/lollipop/ > Summary description: TeX made easy > License type: gpl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Lollipop is TeX made easy. Lollipop is a macro package that functions > as a toolbox for writing TeX macros.
