CTAN Update: pkuthss

Casper Ti. Vector submitted an update to the pkuthss package. Version number: 1.5.0 License type: other-free Summary description: LaTeX template for dissertations in Peking University Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes (relative to v1.4 rc4) ------------------------------ * Changes to package code: - pkuthss.cls: do not disable `uppercase' in `nouppermark' mode. * Changes to example template: - Split from documentation. - Also offer pdf for the example template. * Changes to documentation: - Remove support for CRLF (except for Windows .bat's), as required by CTAN. - Relicense to LPPL v1.3+ (not including the example template). * Misc: - Switch to the x.y.z version scheme, thus no longer use alpha/beta/rc. - Minor fixes and improvements. Details and trivia ------------------ * The most important change is that we now offer a template that is much simpler than previous versions, because the template is now separated from the documentation. * Another significant change is that we now use the `x.y.z' version scheme rather than `1.4 alpha1' or so, because we realise that our release cycle is really non-deterministic, and the new scheme is more more flexible and suitable for us. * In fact, v1.4 is released as an intermediate version earlier today, but not uploaded because CTAN does not seem to host coexistent versions of the same package ;) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pkuthss/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pkuthss We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

New on CTAN: logicproof
by CTAN Announcements 22 Mar '14

22 Mar '14

Alan Davidson submitted the logicproof package. Version date: 2014/03/20 License type: lppl Summary description: Box proofs for propositional and predicate logic Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- First public release A common style of proof used in propositional and predicate logic is Fitch proofs, in which each line of the proof has a statement and a justification, and subproofs within a larger proof have boxes around them. This package provides environments for making such proofs and boxes. It creates proofs in a style similar to the one used in Logic in Computer Science by Huth and Ryan. When I took a logic class in college, the professor lamented that there wasn't a good way to make these box proofs in LaTeX, and suggested that the class write up their assignments in LaTeX without boxes, print them out, and draw the boxes in by hand before turning them in. Unsatisfied with this approach, I created some macros to draw these boxes in LaTeX itself. I shared that code with the professor, who liked it enough to share it with the rest of the class. It's been nearly a decade since then, and I have recently discovered that not only are people still using my old code, its use has spread to other colleges. I had assumed that in the intervening time, a professional logician would have made and published a better implementation, but that doesn't seem to have happened. This is an improved version of my old code, with several problems fixed and a more standardized syntax. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/logicproof/ This Catalogue entry does not yet exist, but we will hopefully not forget to create it: http://www.ctan.org/pkg/logicproof We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Now if a non-ASCII font is not loaded they are not redefined at all. - Partial compatibility with languages named as lang@ instead of l@ (plain etex/xetex/luatex). - Bug fixed -- bl@allowhyphens is now ignored in vertical mode. - Bug fixed -- Loops with @for failed in Plain. - Bug fixed -- A few codes in xetex where wrong when loading patterns. - Bug fixed -- With strings=encoded captions were left unchanged in MakeUppercase/MakeLowercase. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/babel/base More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/babel We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

More specifically, defines aliases for all roman and sans families, including quotation sans, which should load the settings defined for Computer Modern Roman. This follows the config for Latin Modern as far as roman is concerned. It extends the support so far as sans is concerned in accordance with the discussion at http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/75440/39222. I'm not sure I've done this correctly but I don't think it should break anything. (That is, I don't think the results will be worse than with version 1.3 and hope they will be better.) Should stuff break, the relevant code is in a block at the end of cfr-lm.sty so that it can be easily disabled.

CTAN Update: pgf / TikZ
by CTAN Announcements 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Till Tantau submitted an update to the pgf / TikZ package. Version number: 3.0.0 License type: Dual: LPPL and alternatively GPL/GFDL Summary description: A graphics language for TeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am happy to announce version 3.0.0 of TikZ/pgf. After several years of development work in the background, a new version is finally ready. With the big jump in the version number from 2.10 to 3.0.0 a lot of new stuff has been added to TikZ (since the last version, over a thousand lines have been added to the change log...). However, care was taken to make sure that in normal circumstances all old code will still produce the exact same results as it used to. It is impossible to list all the changes and improvements, so let me just point out some hilights: - Arrow Tips: You can now configure the appearance of arrow tip to death and do so on the fly. Arbitrary arrow tips will now even bend along curves since TikZ can now do curvilinear transformations on a very low level. - Syntax Improvements: A lot of small things have been added and improved in the syntax. For instance, nodes can be in front of paths, but now also behind them. There is the new notion of a small picture called a pic, which is something of a mixture of a node and a picture. - A Syntax for Graphs: There is now a new simple syntax for specifying graphs, borrowed from the GraphViz program. It makes it easy to specify graphs and especially trees in a convenient manner. - Graph Drawing Algorithms: TikZ now comes with a large and powerful system for computing the positions of nodes of graphs automatically (you need LuaTeX for this, though). - Data Visualization: There is now an alternative to pgfplots as part of the standard TikZ installation for creating plots. While pgfplots is still the more mature system, the new data visualization system comes with some interesting new ideas. - Driver Support: Support for all mayor backend drivers has been improved. A new, cool thing is the support for dvisvgm, which allows you to create powerful SVG graphics directly from TeX, including the text. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Dohyun Kim submitted an update to the luamplib package. Version number: 2.5.2 License type: gpl Summary description: Use LuaTeX's built-in METAPOST interpreter Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v2.5.2 - Now btex ... etex input from external *.mp files will also be processed by luamplib. However, verbatimtex ... etex will be entirely ignored in this case. Introduced at v2.5 but not announced for a technical issue. - For the new functionality above, luamplib inspects each and every .mp input files and make caches if necessary. As this will sometimes waste time resources uselessly, new macros mplibmakenocache{...} and mplibcancelnocache{...} are provided, so that users can instruct those input files that do not need this routine. - Added a hack to support graph.mp (in fact, format.mp) - [fix] luamplib now respects percent sign when it is enclosed by quotes, as it is not a comment sign but a string token. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luamplib/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/luamplib We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
