problems with tex.ac.uk ctan node
by CTAN Announcements 22 Nov '13

22 Nov '13

the machine failed at 06xx gmt this morning (2012-11-22), and we finally put it back in service just before 1500 gmt. the principal problem proved to be a failed disc in the archive raid set; the hardware conspired to prevent us realising this at first (i'm not sure how it managed to do this). the machine (which is the property of the uk tex users group) is now running with a disc from the (host) university department's stores. (it will probably not be missed, since we seldom install discs as small as that, nowadays.) i apologise for the inconvenience; i have an action to specify a cloud machine to take over when i retire, and have not got around to working on that ... for months, now.

Nicola Talbot submitted an update to the glossaries package. Version number: 4.0 License type: lppl Summary description: Create glossaries and lists of acronyms Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Major update. glossaries.sty has changed the way information is written to external glossary files.

The new version should work with documents created with older versions, but you may get deprecated warnings. New package glossaries-prefix.sty added to the bundle. See CHANGES file for full list of updates. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/glossaries/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/glossaries We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
