CTAN update: epstopdf
by CTAN Announcements 30 Apr '24

30 Apr '24

Karl Berry submitted an update to the epstopdf package. Version number: 2.34 2024-04-29 License type: other-free Summary description: Convert EPS to PDF using Ghostscript Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- epstopdf 2.34 tries to support Msys, Cygwin, and native Windows appropriately, also detecting the TeX Live-provided gs for Windows. Thanks to John Collins for the patch, and Pablo Gonzalez and Ken Brown for testing. Also, more debugging output is written if the first argument is exactly --debug. General description: epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an encapsulated PDF file (a single-page self-contained file whose media box is the same as the original EPS's bounding box). The resulting file is suitable for inclusion as an image. The script runs on both Windows and Unix-ish systems. The script makes use of Ghostscript (overridable) for the actual conversion to PDF. By default, it suppresses Ghostscript's automatic rotation of pages. LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package (https://ctan.org/pkg/epstopdf-pkg), which will run the (restricted form of the) epstopdf script on the fly, thus giving the illusion that pdfLaTeX, etc. is accepting EPS graphic files. Please email bug reports to tex-k(a)tug.org. See https://tug.org/epstopdf/ and https://tug.org/pkg/epstopdf/ for more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/epstopdf More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/epstopdf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Will Robertson submitted an update to the fontspec package. Version: 2.9b License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ## v2.9b (2024/04/27) * Add new `Letters=Uppercase` (LuaLaTeX only) as an interface to `luaotfload` feature which automatically performs case-changing at the font level (i.e., not using macros to process the text tokens). (#461) * Fix long-standing bug when loading fonts which only have extensions specified internally to the font shape (#504). E.g.: setmainfont{pagella}[ UprightFont = texgyrepagella-regular.otf ] * If a font is loaded with a specific script (e.g. `Script=CJK`) and it is not available within the font, `fontspec` previously would fall back on a default script. This is now changed to always pass through the requested script so the renderer can make use of that information regardless of whether the font itself supports the script. (#507) * Remove LuaTeX code that resets various `hypenchar` settings seemingly erroneously. (#344) * Rework documentation to remove reference to local and non-free fonts. This allows compilation via Github Actions, which will aid streamlining/automating releases in the future. (#157, #465) * Adjust approach to removing spaces from font names internally. This may have unintended consequences, please write if so. (#484) * Work around clash if a class defines an option of (say) `math=foo`, where `fontspec` is expecting `math=true`. Now, the global option will be ignored.
