CTAN update: xcolor 2.08
by CTAN Announcements 27 Nov '05

27 Nov '05

On Sat, 26 Nov 2005 Uwe Kern submitted an update to the xcolor package. This package pProvides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like color{red!30!green!40!blue}. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005/11/25 v2.08 * New features: - more flexibility for fcolorbox arguments, e.g., fcolorbox[gray]{0.5}[wave]{580}{test}; - oxframe returns a frame of given dimensions; - new implementation of f(rame)box and fcolorbox as an extension of bug report latex/3655 to reduce pixel positioning errors in output devices; - `kernelfbox' option for those who prefer the previous f(rame)box approach; - experimental `xcdraw' option uses PostScript commands to draw frames and color boxes in case of `dvips'. * Bugfixes: - insufficient expression type detection within colorlet; - wrong calculation in the unit interval reduction for negative integers (affecting color series and extended color expressions). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: xkeyval v2.5e and pst-xkey 1.6
by CTAN Announcements 25 Nov '05

25 Nov '05

On Fri, 25 Nov 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted an update to the xkeyval and pst-xkey packages. The xkeyval package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys. The pst-xkey package is an adaptation of the techniques of xkeyval to the needs of the family of packages associated with pstricks, so that those packages can safely, and with relative ease, use key-value syntax in their commands. Changes: 1) updated docs 2) added ignorespaces to psset Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xkeyval License: LPPL Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
