Patrick Bender submitted the pdbf-toolkit package. Version number: 1.0.1 License type: other-free Summary description: A Toolkit for Creating Janiform Data Documents Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PDBF - A Toolkit for Creating Janiform Data Documents PDBF documents are a hybrid format. They are a valid PDF and a valid HTML page at the same time. You can now optionally add an VirtualBox OVA file with a complete operating system to the PDBF document. Yes, this means that the resulting file is a valid PDF, HTML, and OVA file at the same time. If you change the file extension to PDF and open it with an PDF viewer, you can see the static part of the document. If you change the file extension to HTML and open it with a Browser (currently Chrome/Firefox/Safari/IE 10 supported), you can see the dynamic part of the document. And if an ova file is attached you can also change the file extension to OVA and install and run the attached operating system. The difference between the PDF and the HTML version is that the PDF version contains static version of all PDBF elements, whereas the HTML version is dynamic. For example you can zoom into graphs, temporarly remove dataseries from the graph, inspect and change the underling query of the PDBF element and see the result of the change directly in the browser. This approach works completely offline. No internet connection is required, neither at compile time, nor at viewing time. Read more at http://uds-datalab.github.io/PDBF/ A [demo paper](https://infosys.uni-saarland.de/publications/p1972-dittrich.html) of our tool is appearing at [VLDB 2015](http://www.vldb.org/2015/).

Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - v0.8 (2015/07/29) **Breaking changes in this update!** * `mathrm` (`mathup`), `mathit`, `mathbf`, `mathsf`, and `mathtt` revert to their traditional LaTeX meanings; they are set up to match their equivalent text fonts unless specifically set using `setmathrm` and friends from `fontspec` or the new `setmathfontface` in `unicode-math`. These commands should be used for *multi*-letter identifiers. * New symbol commands have been added, `symrm` (`symup`), `symit`, ..., to replace the behaviour of the old commands. These should be used for *single*-letter identifiers. See the package documentation for more detail on these and related commands. * Package options `mathit=sym`, `mathbf=sym`, etc., reverse the changes above to revert to pre-v0.8 behaviour for `mathXYZ`. Regardless of package option, `symXYZ` always maps to symbols and `mathtextXYZ` is provided for the traditional `mathXYZ` font switch. * New command `setoperatorfont` to set the font used for commands such as `sin` and `cos`. Usage: `setoperatorfontmathbf` or any command defined with `setmathfontface`. * Traditional LaTeX `DeclareMathAlphabet` now works again for legacy font-loading packages. * Commands defined to force Greek letters with `upbeta` and `itbeta`, etc. * Assorted bug fixes and minor changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Version number: 1.4 License type: lppl1 Summary description: Find difference between two PDF's Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package shall be used to find differences between two versions of PDF's of same document. We often encounter nightmarish scenario while generating final versions of a long document when one or more of the following happens: * New revised versions of packages used. * Smaller changes to a fewer number of pages of a long document. * No change in the document, but recompiled with revised page numbers as it happens during compilation of journal articles into an issue for printing. * Simply you happened to retypeset for no reason and then you're forced to check each page for surprises. Now you are left with the job of comparing the PDFs generated now and that of previous occasion and it is not fun. To make the job easier, pdgpagediff package is written. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfpagediff More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfpagediff We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN update: fontawesome

Xavier Danaux & Dave Gandy submitted an update to the fontawesome package. Version number: 4.3.0 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Font containing web-related icons. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 4.3.0: - Updated the font and icons to the 4.3.0 version of the opentype font - Added a type1 conversion and character mappings, so fontawesome now also works under pdfLaTeX! Please note this update will probably break code relying on the previous release, as many icon names have changed (upstream). I decided to reflect the upstream name changes as some name changes were absolutely required to introduce new icon variants with consistent naming. Sorry for the debugging this will cause to some. I also automated to process, so expect speedier updates in the future :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/fontawesome More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
