CTAN update: lua-calendrica
by CTAN Announcements 17 Oct '26

17 Oct '26

Udi Fogiel submitted an update to the lua-calendrica package. Version: 0.2 2026-10-13 License: apache2 Summary description: Lua implementation of Calendrical Calculations by Dershowitz & Reingold Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The high-level API has been rewritten, and code written for 0.1 needs updating: dates are made with date(fields, "gregorian") and converted with d:to("hebrew"); calendars are given by name or as objects from calendar(...), replacing the cal_* constants, new_calendar and as_date. Calendars you define yourself are no longer registered under a name, so they cannot clash with others. Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset now return a date with the time of day attached. New calendars: hebrew-civil (CLDR month numbers), islamic-diyanet, and a new module of modern civil calendars: Indian National, ROC (Minguo), Thai solar, revised Bengali, Nanakshahi, Amazigh and Japanese era. Fixes: Hindu lunar dates converted back to a fixed date, the astronomical Hindu calendars (book errata), Umm al-Qura dates, islamic-turkish now follows Diyanet's rule, and location's time zone is taken in hours. islamic-umalqura-astronomical has been removed (it was identical to islamic-saudi). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/lua-calendrica More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/lua-calendrica -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

William Bateman submitted the fxpicture package. Version: 1.0 2026-10-15 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Dashed, dotted and dash-dotted line styles for the picture environment Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- fxpicture adds dashed, dotted and dash-dotted lines to LATEX’s picture environment. It builds on pict2e (the more modern version of picture), and gives it two declarations, \linestyle and \dashpattern. Like \linethickness, they last until the end of the group, and they apply to every line that pict2e strokes, from \line and \vector to \oval, \circle and Bézier curves. The inspiration for this comes from user requests with out LaTeX picture editor on https://fxEditor.codecogs.com e.g. \setlength{\unitlength}{1mm} \begin{picture}(40,12) \linestyle{dotted} \put(0,10){\line(1,0){40}} \thicklines \put(0,5){\line(1,0){40}} \linethickness{1.2pt} \put(0,0){\line(1,0){40}} \end{picture} -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fxpicture More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/fxpicture -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
