CTAN Update: xint
by CTAN Announcements 26 Apr '13

26 Apr '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.04 of xint (2013/04/25) This release has some bug fixes, important improvements in the xintseries package and its documentation, and a new component xintcfrac.sty devoted to continued fractions. 1. bug fixes: xintIrr {0} was a bad one. Apart from that, there were some inaccuracies in the documentation. 2. the base package xint has new commands to help deal in an expandable way with token lists produced by some of the bundle macros. Also, the division routine is a bit faster, and a rounding macro has been added to the xintfrac package. 3. xintseries: a new implementation of xintPowerSeries, based on a Horner scheme, has greatly reduced a problem of denominator build-up. Also, the package has new macros, among them xintRationalSeries is for computing partial sums with general term F(n) where F is a rational function and the macro is given the n->F(n)/F(n-1) function. This is especially designed for series of the exponential type, again to avoid a denominator build-up which made xintSeries and xintPowerSeries inefficient in such situations. The documentation has been correspondingly extended. 4. xintcfrac: this is a new package to deal with matters of continued fractions. For example xintCFrac is like amsmath cfrac apart from a little detail: it first computes the continued fraction corresponding to a given fractional number! (and then feeds cfrac with it; almost all package macros only deal with computations, not typesetting). The package includes commodities to specify the coefficients of the (possibly generalized) continued fraction as function of the index, to compute simple and centered continued fractions, to return the list of all convergents, etc... The xint.dtx source file self-extracts packages xint.sty, xintgcd.sty, xintfrac.sty, xintseries.sty and xintcfrac.sty (as well as xint.ins). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint .

Summary description: Pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The goal of the savetrees package is to pack as much text as possible onto each page of a LaTeX document. Admittedly, this makes the document far less attractive. Nevertheless, savetrees is a simple way to save paper when printing draft copies of a document. It can also be useful when trying to meet a tight page-length requirement for a conference or journal submission. Version 2.1 introduces a convenient set of package meta-options -- subtle, moderate, and extreme -- which encapsulate useful subsets of savetrees's space-saving techniques. In addition, savetrees now knows how to reduce space within and between mathematical expressions. Finally, to complement the documentation, the package includes a new demonstration file, st-sample2.pdf, which showcases savetrees's ability to reduce document white space. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/savetrees . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/savetrees (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Clemens Niederberger submitted the snotez package. Summary description: sidenote support for LaTeX 2e License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This has just been an exercise on a lazy afternoon. Well, more or less at least. Since there already is Andy Thomas' `sidenotes' package (mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/sidenotes) there is probably no real need for `snotez'. Moreover, the tufte classes (mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/tufte-latex) as well as the memoir class (mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/memoir) also provide corresponding mechansims. Besides the fun I had my motivation was also based on the fact that I didn't like some smaller things (_not_ bugs) done by the `sidenotes' package such as inserting kerns and superscripted commas for multiple marks. I prefer to let my `fnpct' package handle these things. Anyways, here it is and it seems to be working as intended so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't be available to others for use. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/snotez .

CTAN Update: dashrule
by CTAN Announcements 31 Mar '13

31 Mar '13

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the dashrule package. Summary description: Draw dashed rules License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's ule and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as ule, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally using ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor. Version 1.3 fixes a small bug that introduced spurious spaces into the output. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/dashrule .

Javier Bezos submitted an update to the babel package, which is part of the LaTeX required packages. Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Babel 3.9b version fixes lots of bugs and adds some new features (intended mainly to make it compatible with Unicode engines). Some bugs have not been fixed to avoid backward incompatibilities, but they have been documented. Most of the new features (like package options) are intended to overcome issues in previous releases without changing significantly the behaviour of Babel. Starting with this version, babel has been separated in a core (or base) part, and contributed language-specific packages. The core part is located in the subdirectory base, the contrib part is actually a link into CTAN's macros/latex/contrib subtree. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/required/babel .
