CTAN update: pkgcheck
by CTAN Announcements 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

Manfred Lotz submitted an update to the pkgcheck package. Version: 4.1.1 2026-10-06 License: apache2 mit Summary description: CTAN package checker Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Fixed - False positive PDF detection for text files containing `%PDF` as a substring (e.g. a Windows batch file using `%PDF%` as a variable). Caused by `infer` 0.22 scanning the first 1024 bytes for `%PDF` rather than checking only the magic offset. - Eliminate remaining `panic!` / `.unwrap()` sites in `main.rs`: missing home directory, unexpected file type in TDS archive walk, hash-file errors in threadpool scopes, symlink canonicalization, `meta.modified()`, tempdir path conversion, and several non-UTF-8 path sites. - Remove `'/'` from the filename allowlist in `filename_has_bad_chars`; add `depth() > 0` guard so invoking pkgcheck with `-d .` or `-d ./` no longer triggers a false E0001. - Replace `match dir_entry { Ok/Err }` with a `let`-else guard in the `check_package` WalkDir loop. ### Changed - Rust crate updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pkgcheck The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/pkgcheck/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Ali Ramlaoui submitted the animategif package. Version: 1.0.0 2026-10-06 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Embed animated GIF files in PDF documents, decoded in pure Lua Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- animategif embeds animated GIF files in PDF documents: \animategif{movie.gif}. It decodes the GIF in pure Lua (in-process with LuaLaTeX, via texlua and shell escape with pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX), so no external programs are needed, and hands the frames to the animate package with a timeline that follows the GIF's own delays, disposal, transparency and loop count. Frames are stored as compact PNG deltas and cached; options select frame ranges, speed, number of plays, downsampling, or a still frame (automatic in beamer handouts). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animategif More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/animategif -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

New on CTAN: cprotect-other
by CTAN Announcements 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

Javier A. Múgica submitted the cprotect-other package. Version: 2026-10-06 License: pd Summary description: An alternative \cprotect that avoids the .cpt files Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This package provides an alternative to cprotect. It defines the macro \cprotect, to be used in the same way as the one from the homonymous package. The one from this package avoids the .cpt auxiliary files that pollute the working directory, and it is not specific to LaTeX; it only needs eTeX. It is also much faster than \cprotect, though you typically don’t place many \cprotect in a project. If you have some weird catcode settings the macro may fail. However, the relevant definition is so simple that in a case like this you can just copy-paste the macro from the package and modify it for your unusual setting; it is obvious how to do it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/cprotect-other The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/generic/cprotect-other/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: suai-report
by CTAN Announcements 06 Oct '26

06 Oct '26

Grigorii Moiseev submitted an update to the suai-report package. Version: 2.7 2026-10-05 License: mit Summary description: Reports for Saint Petersburg State University of Aerospace Instrumentation Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 2.7 fixes several errors in the line-based block commands and extends the support for listings. Fixed: - A block (\suailist, \suaitable, \suaieq, ...) now ends at a line starting with \section, \begin, \end, \par or \clearpage. A block right above \end{document} used to stop the build. - A lstlisting environment right below a block keeps its first line of code. - \suaitable: spaces or "|" inside a formula in a cell no longer break the table. - A % comment in a line of a block applies to that line only. - A Russian abbreviation at the end of a list item keeps its full stop. - An unknown listing language gives a warning instead of an error. - suai new --title: the characters & _ ^ and $ in a title are escaped. New: - Listings: JavaScript, TypeScript, Kotlin, Rust, JSON, YAML and Dockerfile are defined by the package, with short language names such as cpp, cs, js, ts, py. - The PDF bookmark of an appendix carries its letter. Changed: - Tables typed by hand (tabular, tabularx, longtable) are set with the line spacing of the text, as \suaitable is. Use \renewcommand{\suaitablestretch}{1} to make all tables single-spaced. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/xetex/latex/suai-report More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/suai-report -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
