New on CTAN: xkcdcolors
by CTAN Announcements 22 Oct '19

22 Oct '19

Romano Giannetti submitted the xkcdcolors package. Version number: 1.0 License type: lppl Summary description: xkcd names of colors Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the year 2010, Randall Munroe posted a really fun and nice article on the iconic web of xkcd. He did a very curious experiment: showing colors to a lot of people and asking to name each one. Afterward, he processed the data and sorted the names for each color by popularity --- that means, how many people gave the same name to the same color (no guidance here! Read the post linked above for details). He obtained a nice list of around 950 color names. It's not at all surprising that a lot of people forged CloudyBlue, but some color is really surprising, like for example BabyPoopGreen or DullPink... Now you can use them in LaTeX! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/xkcdcolors More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/xkcdcolors ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

John Bowman submitted an update to the asymptote package. Version number: 2.59 License type: lgpl3 Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- OpenGL memory allocation and transparency bugs introduced in version 2.54 were fixed. Rendering efficiency was improved. In view of limited GPU resources, only the required material uniforms are passed to each shader. The WebGL vertex and fragment shaders have been moved to the asygl library. Multiple embedded images now share a single WebGL context and shaders, to work around browser limitations. A bug in 3D arrows was fixed. Unavailable material attributes are now ignored. Miscellaneous Python support files were ported to Python3. The obsolete maxvertices setting was removed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Note this could cause problems if the `fontspec` encoding does not match the encoding of the specified families. * Additional optional argument for `EncodingCommand`. * Suppress spurious warnings for `HyphenChar` feature in XeLaTeX. * Add `Ligatures=TeXOff` even though it's not a real OpenType feature. (Functionally equivalent to `Ligatures=TeXReset`.) * New scripts definitions to match OpenType 1.8.3 (thanks Werner!). * Documentation changes for `Numbers=Arabic`, `HypenChar=None` for ` tfamily`. * Documentation fixes (thanks `muzimuzhi`!). * Prepare for `FakeBold` being available in `luaotfload` (thanks Khaled!). * Bug fix for doubled + symbol when setting `tlig` feature in LuaTeX. * Bug fix for Harfbuzz use. (Support still very minimal I'm afraid.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
