CTAN Update: new version of Wadalab fonts
by CTAN Announcements 24 May '08

24 May '08

On Thu, 22 May 2008 at 12:16 +0200, Werner LEMBERG submitted an update to the wadalab package. These are font bundles for the Japanese Wadalab fonts which work with the CJK package. All subfonts now have glyph names compliant to the Adobe Glyph List, making ToUnicode CMaps in PDF documents (created automatically by dvipdfmx) work correctly. All font bundles now contain virtual Unicode subfonts. Location on CTAN: /fonts/wadalab License: unknown Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This version incorporates the hwkatakana bundle of Gernot Hassenpflug (which now becomes obsolete). The main reason for this merge was that some files of Gernot's package replace files from the Wadalab fonts, causing nasty dependency issues. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/wadalab . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=wadalab (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Package update: rotating
by CTAN Announcements 19 May '08

19 May '08

I have installed an update of the rotating package (which I maintain). Changes in v 2.15 -- A fair bit of work on the .dtx, so that the manual is more useful -- Horizontal position of rotated floats on their page is controllable -- Redone the code on auto-rotating of floats in two-side documents; I believe i've solved the problem reported on comp.text.tex recently A .tds.zip file is available. Users can review the catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html or browse the distribution directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/ (I would appreciate reports of continuing problems with auto-rotation of floats.)

CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 18 May '08

18 May '08

On Fri, 16 May 2008 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package. The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This updated version of `animate' uses a different method for animating graphics. The use of PDF Layers (OCGs) was dropped in favour of a Widget based method which produces animations that perform better in newer Acrobat Reader versions. The OCG based method is still available and can be selected by the package or command option `useocg'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animate .

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: siunitx Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/siunitx Summary description: A comprehensive (SI) units package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8: - Table alignment extended to cover exponents - Units can now be repeated after errors and multiplied numbers - Negative values can appear in a different colour to positive numbers - Improvements to emulation of other packages - Fix for loading-order issue with numprint - Improved appearance of astronomy-style angles Version 0.8 marks the interface freeze for siunitx. There will (hopefully) be no changes to the interface without good reason and backward-compatibility. Moving to an official (v1.0) release depends very much on bugs in the current version. Please report any bugs or annoyances, and they will be investigated! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/siunitx .

This material has been updated and is working its way through the system. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: tablor Author's name: Guillaume Connan Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/tablor Summary description: Creates tables of signs and of variations. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I think we are approaching the perfection with the 2.06 version :-) I have quite simplified the xcas treatment of latex : the code is shorter and more efficient. But most of all, you can now choose your own metapost preambule to deal with the tex files : you just need to change lines 20->32 of tablor.sty Annoying cdots have desappeared as well and expressions are in math mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tablor .
