CTAN Update: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version number: 2.6 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: authors, base URL, contact telephone number/postal address/email address/URL, copyright statement, creation date, document identifier, document instance identifier, file format, keywords, language, LaTeX file name, license URL, metadata writer, PDF version, PDF-generating tool, PDF/A compliance level and version, primary author's position or title, subject/summary, and title. hyperxmp is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 2.6 of the package introduces a new pdfdate key. Like LaTeX's date macro, pdfdate specifies the document date, which defaults to the build date. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN update: drm
by CTAN Announcements 26 Sep '14

26 Sep '14

Donald P. Goodman submitted an update to the drm package. Version number: 2.2 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: A complete family of fonts written in Metafont. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.2, submitted to CTAN on 24 September 2014, contained some significant changes. Some kerning fixes; the introduction of a short-tailed Q in the roman fonts, accessed via drmshortq; and the introduction of superior and inferior figures, the former being the default (unless |nodefault| or |notextdefault| is selected) for footnote numbering. Did the usual kerning tweaks. Finally, I fixed the acute and grave accents, which in a number of cases were inexplicably backwards. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/drm More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/drm We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

New on CTAN: bnumexpr
by CTAN Announcements 22 Sep '14

22 Sep '14

Jean-François Burnol submitted the bnumexpr package. Version number: 1.1 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Extends eTeX’s umexpr... elax construct to big integers. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1 of 2014/09/21 hebnumexpr... elax is analogous to he umexpr... elax but for arbitrarily big integers. Example: hebnumexpr 30*(21-43*(512-67*(6133-812*2897))) elax which outputs -202785405180. Option allowpower furthermore enables ^ for power operations. By default, bnumexpr uses the arithmetic macros from xint (with / doing rounded division for compatibility with umexpr). To reduce overhead, perhaps at some point these could get extracted from xint.sty/xinttools.sty and moved to a smaller core package. Option bigintcalc tells bnumexpr to load package bigintcalc rather than package xint (however / does then truncated division). With option custom, neither xint nor bigintcalc are loaded and it is up to the user to provide suitable definitions for expandable macros numexprAdd, numexprSub, numexprMul, numexprDiv and, in case of option allowpower, also numexprPow. The numexpr parser is a scaled down version of xintiiexpr from xintexpr.sty (which loads the whole chain xintfrac/xint/xinttools) Currently it is provided only as a LaTeX2e package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/bnumexpr More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/bnumexpr We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
