CTAN submission -- skak version 1.0 - chess typeseting the easy way
by Reinhard Zierke 05 Jun '02

05 Jun '02

----- Forwarded message from Torben Hoffmann ----- Upload: skak2.zip Node: ftp.dante.de Where to go: replace the old skak package in fonts/skak Licensing conditions: LPPL (Latex Project Public Licence) This software is copyright but you are granted a license which gives you, the ``user'' of the software, legal permission to copy, distribute, and/or modify the software. However, if you modify the software and then distribute it (even just locally) you must change the name of the software to avoid confusion. Summary: This is version 1.0 of the skak package - it differs from the earlier non-numbered releases in the following aspects: 1. The documentation has been split into three documents: * A short user guide. * An example of how to use the skak package. * A reference manual listing all available commands. 2. Some minor bugs have been removed - thanks to all that have contacted me regarding these subtle errors. Best regards and happy chess typesetting. /Torben ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the old version in CTAN:/tex-archive/fonts/skak/ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

pdfTeX upheavals, texlive sources
by Robin Fairbairns 31 May '02

31 May '02

following a lot of confusion about the state of pdftex on ctan, most of it arising from problems in areas beyond the control of the ctan team, it has been decided that ctan will no longer hold a pdftex directory on the main tree. (the pre-existing pdftex directory has been moved to obsolete/systems/pdftex.) the sources of pdftex are available in a number of alternative places: as a pdftex source archive: systems/web2c -- which has been brought up to date after a long hiatus as part of a complete distribution source archive: systems/texlive/Source - a new directory containing compressed archives of the latest state of the texlive discs; this is a *new* directory systems/unix/teTeX-beta - the latest teTeX snapshot (note, at the time this beta is finally released, the source will become systems/unix/teTeX) while this means that there's no headline directory containing pdftex, the ctan team consider that the situation that we now have consistent, maintained, copies of the source more satisfactory.

New CTAN package: Swimgraph
by Jim Hefferon 31 May '02

31 May '02

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ================================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor. Name of contribution: Swimgraph Author's name: Martin J. Osborne Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/supported/swimgraph Summary description: Macros for producing graphical and textual representations of swimming performances License type: lppl Announcement text given by the contribution's author: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package provides two macros that produce representations of a swimmer's performances. The user records data in a text file and specifies as arguments of the macros the date range in which she is interested; the macros extract the relevant information from the file and process it as follows. * swimgraph produces a graph of the times in a single swimming event (specified as an argument), plotting long course and short course times in separate lines. Records and qualifying times, stored in text files, may optionally be included on the graph. * swimtext produces a written record of the times in all events. Files of current world and Canadian records are included. The package requires the PSTricks and keyval packages. For attractive output, it requires also a color output device. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------

CTAN submission -- soul.sty
by Reinhard Zierke 29 May '02

29 May '02

----- Forwarded message from Melchior FRANZ ----- I've just uploaded version 2.3 of `soul.sty' as archive >--- soul.tar.gz ---< to >--- ftp://ftp.dante.de/incoming/ ---< Please replace the contents of >--- /macros/latex/contrib/supported/soul/ ---< by the new files. The package is again licenced under the terms of the >--- LPPL ---< The soul package provides hyphenatable letterspacing, underlining, overstriking, and highlighting. Version 2.3 ============================================================= - fixes a nasty hack, that kept soul from playing nice with ccfonts.sty (beton.sty), cmbright.sty and possibly other packages. This is now solved cleanly. (Under normal circumstances this would have become version 2.2.1 or something, but soul is IMHO feature complete and has already stabilized after the rewrite. So I consider this fix worth getting released soon and with its own minor release number. Imagine, this was the very last bug and I had to stick to an odd version number like 2.2.1a forever. Shudder ...) - fixes some small bugs in the documentation, as always - GO FORTH now and steal sheep! :-] m. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN submission -- cmbright update
by Reinhard Zierke 26 May '02

26 May '02

----- Forwarded message from Walter Schmidt ----- I have uploaded the file cmbr-update.zip to the /incoming directory at dante.ctan.org. Please, unzip this file in the CTAN directory fonts/cmbright. This submission will update the CM-Bright fonts to version 1.0g. Changes affect the fonts metrics of the text companion fonts, which were wrong. The font shapes are, fortunately, unchanged. Besides, I have `cleaned up' the documentation of the macro package. Special thanks to Vladimir Volovich, who -- once again -- spotted the longstanding bugs. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission.

----- Forwarded message from H.W. de Wijn ----- Dear CTAN administrators: + I have uploaded to CTAN at dante.ctan.org the following files: [ deleted ] and have stored them in a directory named euro-ce. The total size is about 32 kB. + The above version of euro-ce (v3.0) is to replace the current version 1.3 residing in CTAN's existing directory .../fonts/euro-ce. I really attempt to minimize on updates, but this one constitutes a genuine and necessary improvement. + Purpose of euro-ce in abstract form for use in indexes, et cetera: (1) METAFONT source of the official euro currency symbol and scores of variants (boldface, italic, boldface italic, slanted, boldface slanted, condensed, outline). (2) METAFONT source of the CE mark and several variants. With kind regards, Harold W. de Wijn ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload.
