CTAN location movements
by CTAN Announcements 29 Sep '05

29 Sep '05

In response to various problems we (or users) have encountered, the following changes of location have taken place: macros/latex/contrib/powerdot -> macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/distrib macros/latex/contrib/powerdot-contrib -> macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/contrib macros/latex/contrib/carlisle/textcase.* -> macros/latex/contrib/textcase Also, _files_ (not directories) macros/generic/* have moved to macros/generic/misc/*, except where the package has gained a directory of its own. (For example, there is a new directory macros/generic/tables.) A start has been made on similar moves in macros/plain/contrib and biblio/bibtex/contrib; there's one file in macros/latex209/contrib that needs to move to ./misc, too. The catalogue is updated as each move is made. Catalogue changes will propagate (at worst) on a daily timescale (according to the time zones in which individual copies are held). Note: not everything that's moved appears in the catalogue: there's just too much of it. It may well be that the whole of CTAN is properly catalogued by the end of this century...

CTAN update: preview 11.81
by CTAN Announcements 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

On Mon, 26 Sep 2005, Ralf Angeli submitted an update to the preview package. License: GPL Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/preview/ Here are the release notes: The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or images, into separate pages of a DVI file. This works with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF files. Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the tbook XML system and some other tools. The preview package is being developed along and distributed with preview-latex. With the integration of preview-latex into AUCTeX as of version 11.81, the preview package became part of AUCTeX as well. It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution files available at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>. CTAN provides the standalone preview package at <CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>. For more information about the preview package please refer to the home page of AUCTeX at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>. Version 11.81 of the preview package is mainly a bug fix release accompanying the new version of AUCTeX and adopting its versioning scheme. Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
