CTAN update: asymptote
by CTAN Announcements 08 Jul '20

08 Jul '20

John Bowman submitted an update to the asymptote package. Version number: 2.66 License type: lgpl3 Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A bug in the Bezier patch bounds was fixed. Vertex and material data are copied from the CPU to GPU only when necessary. The default Headlamp light was brightened. WebGL output is centered in the viewport, extending to the canvas boundary; the precision of planar Bezier surfaces was increased to avoid artifacts. Fullscreen mode has been fixed; the new default maxviewport=(0,0) specifies the screen dimensions. Camera adjustment was fixed. Problems with Xasy and interactive signals under MSWindows were fixed. A background color for both 2D and 3D images can be specified with currentlight.background. Offscreen rendering on headless machines has been reinstated; while the setting offscreen has been removed, one can again configure asy for either onscreen or offscreen rendering. Clipping was removed from the slopefield module. Functions mapArray, mapTemplate, real abs2(pair), and real abs2(triple) were implemented. The new Ghostscript transparency model requires Ghostscript 9.52 or later. The detection of TeX errors was improved. An array segmentation fault was fixed; array dimensions are checked. Flattened monochrome tensor patches with interior internal control points are now drawn as filled cyclic paths. PDF offsets were fixed, along with the auto-reload feature for Acroread. SVG support was improved; 2D images can now be output in HTML format using inline SVG code, to support the Asymptote Web Application, a new cloud service at http://asymptote.ualberta.ca. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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.

CTAN update: CircuiTikZ
by CTAN Announcements 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Romano Giannetti submitted an update to the CircuiTikZ package. Version number: 1.2.1 2020-07-06 License type: lppl gpl Summary description: Draw electrical networks with TikZ Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Release 1.2.1 Several changes, both internal and user-visible. These are quite risky, although they *should* be backward-compatible. >From the user point of view: - there is now a new style of voltages (raised American) - a powerful mechanism for customizing voltages, currents and flows has been added. The internal changes are basically the re-implementation of the macros that draw the path elements (`to[...]`), which have been completely rewritten. Please be sure to read the possible incompatibilities in the manual (section 1.9). - Added access to voltages, currents and flows anchors - Added raised american voltage style - Rewrite of the path generation macros - Several small bugs fixed (no one ever used some f^> options...) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/circuitikz More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/CircuiTikZ CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: eplain
by CTAN Announcements 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Karl Berry submitted an update to the eplain package. Version number: 3.11 License type: gpl2+ Summary description: Extended plain TeX macros Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Eplain version 3.11 is available from CTAN via https://ctan.org/pkg/eplain and directly from https://tug.org/eplain. It's also included in TeX distributions. This minor release supports the YYYY-MM-DD date syntax in ProvidesPackage, as well as the historical YYYY/MM/DD. General: the Eplain macro package extends and expands on the definitions in plain TeX. It's intended to provide useful definitions regardless of how a document might be formatted, such as cross-referencing by labels. Eplain was originally developed for the book TeX for the Impatient, published by Addison-Wesley in 1990. That book is now freely available, from https://ctan.org/pkg/impatient, along with several translations. It's also in TeX distributions. Please send bug reports to tex-eplain(a)tug.org (mailing list web interface: https://lists.tug.org/tex-eplain). Happy expanded TeXing, Karl ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/eplain More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/eplain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Version: 0.1 2020-07-02 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Parse class and package options with expkv Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The `expkv-opt` package provides facilities to process class and package options using keys defined for and with `expkv` and as such supports key=value options and keys without a value.
