Rolf Niepraschk submitted an update to the tikz-kalender package. Version: 0.7a License: cc-by-sa-1 Summary description: A LaTeX based calendar using TikZ Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unfortunately, this new version (v0.7a) introduces an incompatible change. The placeholder used to identify the calendar year within .events files has been renamed from \year to \calYear to avoid conflicts with other packages. Furthermore, holidays linked to Easter Sunday can now be generated automatically with the help of the LaTeX package `easter`. See, for example, `tikz-kalender-example1.tex`. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/tikz-kalender More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/tikz-kalender -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

13 Jul '26

Yegor Bugayenko submitted the handstroke package. Version: 0.3.0 2026-07-12 License: mit Summary description: Eye-catching hand-drawn underline Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This LaTeX package provides the \handstroke command, which underlines a word or a phrase with a line that looks as if it were drawn by hand. A straight, ruler-perfect rule blends into the text and is easy to overlook, whereas an uneven, hand-drawn handstroke stands apart from the page and catches the reader's eye. The line can optionally be tinted in any color. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/handstroke The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/handstroke/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: CTeX
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jul '26

13 Jul '26

Liam Huang submitted an update to the CTeX package. Version: 2.6.2 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: LaTeX classes and packages for Chinese typesetting Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This release adds FangSong font support for the `ubuntu` fontset, fixes a metadata inconsistency, refactors the source structure, and improves the documentation typography. NEW FEATURES - The `ubuntu` fontset now includes a FangSong configuration and the `\fangsong` command. When compiling with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX, the font is automatically selected from Zhuque FangSong, FandolFang, or Source Han Serif, in that order (#908). BUG FIXES - Fixed `\ProvidesExplFile` in `ctex-heading-*.def` where the declared filename (`ctex-*.def`) did not match the actual filename. IMPROVEMENTS - Split the monolithic `ctex.dtx` into six source files: `ctex.dtx` (install script and user documentation), `ctex-kernel.dtx`, `ctex-engine.dtx`, `ctex-scheme.dtx`, `ctex-auxpkg.dtx`, and `ctex-fontset.dtx`. Refactoring by Xia Mingyu (#937). - Enabled `Language` and `PoZheHaoLigature` for the documentation font, so that em dashes render as full-width ligatures (#382). - Switched the documentation monospaced font to Zhuque FangSong and the italic font to LXGW WenKai GB Lite (#908). Source code: https://github.com/CTeX-org/ctex-kit Issue tracker: https://github.com/CTeX-org/ctex-kit/issues -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/language/chinese/ctex More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/ctex -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: xecjk
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jul '26

13 Jul '26

Liam Huang submitted an update to the xecjk package. Version: 3.10.2 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Support for CJK documents in XeLaTeX Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This release introduces new options for em-dash (破折号) ligature handling and Latin punctuation switching, improves line-breaking and spacing around long punctuation marks, and fixes two `CJKecglue`-related bugs. NEW FEATURES - Add `PoZheHao` character class to support font-level em-dash ligatures (#382). - Add `PoZheHaoLigature` option to enable font-level em-dash ligature support (#382). - Add `LatinPunct` option, allowing shared CJK/Latin curly quotes, middle dots, and ellipses to be switched to their Latin punctuation counterparts (#389, #431). IMPROVEMENTS - Check kinsoku (line-breaking prohibition) rules on both sides of a break point between long punctuation and other punctuation: an opening punctuation mark must not hang at the end of a line, and a closing punctuation mark or `NoBreakLongPunct` must not appear at the start of a line (#456). - Treat `PoZheHao`-class characters as fullwidth closing punctuation (#382). - Change the compression amount between em-dashes to a multi-way maximum, ensuring that two consecutive `U+2014` do not exceed two Chinese character widths in total (#382). - Add a new check to coordinate blank compensation for em-dashes occupying two character widths (#382). - When ligature is not enabled, add one full blank on each side of an em-dash to ensure consecutive em-dashes occupy two character widths (#382). - Restore `PoZheHaoLigature` settings after reset (#382). - Restore `LatinPunct` settings after reset (#389). BUG FIXES - Use `\setlanguage` to actively flush a language whatsit when closing a `\verb` group, fixing the doubled `CJKecglue` issue when a source-code space appears to the right of `\verb` (#919). - Patch `\meta` from the `doc` package to wrap argument content in `\hbox:n`, fixing the spurious `CJKecglue` before the first character inside `\meta` (#951). DOCUMENTATION - Enable `Language` and `PoZheHaoLigature` for the documentation font, so em-dashes are rendered as fullwidth ligature glyphs (#382). - Switch the documentation monospaced font to Zhuque Fangsong and the italic font to LXGW WenKai GB Lite (#908). Source code: https://github.com/CTeX-org/ctex-kit Issue tracker: https://github.com/CTeX-org/ctex-kit/issues -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/xetex/latex/xecjk More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/xecjk -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
