Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version: 2.8 2016-04-05 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. Version 2.8 of hyperxmp fixes a bug that caused inadvertent lowercasing of non-Latin letters appearing in the metadata when using XeLaTeX orLuaLaTeX. Thanks to Leonid Sinev for reporting the problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp/ We are supported by the TeX users groups.

The use of article threads typically only makes sense in a document in which the text is in a multi-column format. Set the article threads after the composition of the document is completed.

CTAN update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 29 Mar '16

29 Mar '16

Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Version number: 2.3b License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: A user-friendly interface to pdf annotations Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command `pdfannot` for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using `pdfannot` to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers may vary. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: **LPPL** Changes in v2.3b: * Bugfix: incorrect vertical position of superscripts with `pdftooltip` reported and patched by Ross Moore * Bugfix: change zero width in `pdfcomment` and `pdfmargincomment` to make the comments visible in both Evince and the internal viewer of TeXStudio reported by shaniaki (BitBucket #7) * improve appearance of tooltips with Mac Preview (at least) feature request by Ross Moore * expand comment argument in `pdftooltip` before pushing it through `pdfstringdef` feature request by Robert Terwilliger (Bitbucket #18) * added `pdfencoding=auto` while loading `hyperref` Needed for Unicode bookmarks in `XeTeX` and `LuaTeX` * dropped support for `pdfreply` ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfcomment We are supported by the TeX users groups.

Timo Baumann submitted an update to the BibArts package. Version number: 2.1 License type: gpl Summary description: Arts-style bibliographical information Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes from BibArts version 2.0 (2015) to version 2.1: You now may choose your own order of page and footnote numbers in the index (roman--arabic, arabic--roman, etc.). Type bibsort -s2 xxxx for page and ... -f2 xxxx for footnote numbers. xxxx are permutations of four letters out of nRrAas (a=alph, A=Alph, n=arabic, R=Roman, r=roman, s=fnsymbol): You always have to set n and s, and to choose R *or* A, and r *or* a. E.g. srnR means, that you can use Roman in your text, but you do not have to. bibsort is able to evaluate the new fnsymbols (which expand to TextOrMath). If bibsort should write into files with a different prefix as the .aux input file, you have to use -o <outfile> now. And you may type bibsort <infile>, *or* bibsort -i <infile> (e.g., when the input file name begins with '-'). bibarts.sty will be even loaded, when ~:;!?'`<> are active (catcode 13); and bibsort is sorting also z (not only s) as ss now; see bibarts.pdf. bibsort sorts the 'official' $Greek variables$ since version 2.0. To write single words in Old Greek, BibArts 2.1 also provides Alpha [A], Beta [B], Epsilon [E], eta [Z], Eta [H=sort=>E], Iota [I], Kappa [K], Mu [M], Nu [N], Rho [P==>R], Tau [T], Chi [X==>Ch], Omicron [O], omicron [o]. BibArts 2.0 set footnotesep to 2ex, whereas 2.1 does *not* change the pre-setted value. If you want to continue with the 2.0 distance between two footnotes, you will have to type setlength{footnotesep}{2ex} in your text. Some of the prepared text elements (captions) have been modernized. The evkctitlename changed from {Short Titles} to {Shortened References}. And gannouncektitname changed to '... im Folgenden'. To restore the 2.0 def.: enewcommand{gannouncektitname}{ (kern 0.015em im folgenden aupcorr} Published under the terms of the GNU General Public License.

Clea F. Rees submitted the prooftrees package. Version number: 0.3 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Forest-based proof trees (symbolic logic) Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prooftrees supports drawing proof trees of the kind often used in introductory logic classes, especially those aimed at students without strong mathemtical backgrounds. Hodges (1991) is one example of a text which uses this system. When teaching such a system it is especially useful to annotate the tree with line numbers, justifications and explanations of branch closures. prooftrees provides a single environment, prooftree, and a variety of tools for annotating, customising and highlighting such trees. A cross-referencing system is provided for trees which cite line numbers in justifications for proof lines or branch closures. prooftrees is based on Forest and, hence, TikZ. The package requires version 2.0.2 of Forest for expected results and will not work with version 1. The author is certain that some of her beliefs are false, but sure that her belief that prooftrees has bugs is not among them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/prooftrees More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/prooftrees We are supported by the TeX user groups.

Ross Churchley submitted the beamercolorthemeowl package. Version: 0.1.1 2016-03-15 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: A flexible beamer color theme to maximize visibility Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The effectiveness of a colour scheme is heavily dependent on the conditions you present in. Colours that look nice on a computer screen may be invisible projected; colours that stand out in a lit room may strain the eyes in a dark room. If possible, you should carefully choose from Beamer's wide variety of colour themes to find one that fits your presentation's individual needs. The above paragraph would be excellent advice, except for one thing — only a handful of pre-selected colour themes are publicly available for Beamer. The vast majority of Beamer presentations use one of the built-in colour themes, which are effective in some conditions but inadequate in others. The goal of this package is to reduce the number of situations you find yourself without any good colour options. Owl is a flexible dark or light colour theme designed for maximum readability in environments where most themes fall flat. Main features: - Dark color theme for presenting in low-light conditions - Optional light color theme for presenting in bright ambient light - Redefines color names red, green, blue, yellow to values that are visible when displayed by certain projectors, particularly those with a very bright green channel and dim red and blue channels. This behaviour can be optionally disabled, with the provided colours also available as OwlRed, OwlGreen, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamercolorthemeowl The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer-contrib/themes/beamercol… We are supported by the TeX users groups.
