Hello TeX folk,
The host tug.ctan.org now resolves to the new official North American
redistribution site at the University of Utah, thanks to
long-time TeX stalwart Nelson Beebe, Pieter Bowman, and their
institution's support.
So, folks in North America (and maybe elsewhere) should consider
tug.ctan.org when using an explicit CTAN host. By rsync:
rsync://tug.ctan.org/CTAN/
rsync is by far the most efficient way to do transfers, but of course
the site is also available by ftp and http:
ftp://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/
The Utah site is itself updated hourly, so there is no worry about stale
material.
As a reminder, there is the generic redirector
http://mirror.ctan.org/
which should go to an up-to-date and nearby host. We recommend using
this url in articles, mailing list posts, etc., to better balance
CTAN traffic. For example,
http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/
Great thanks also to Jim Hefferon for years of hosting the master
North American mirror of (and participating in) CTAN
at St. Michael's College.

exsheets

Summary description: Yet another package for the creation of exercise sheets.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There has been a potentially breaking change: the {tasks} environment previously
provided by ExSheets has been extracted into a package of its own (`tasks') now
shipped with and being part of the exsheets bundle. This does not change any
syntax per se. However, the options for the environment are no longer set with
SetupExSheets but with settasks. Also the object that is used for the list
template and its instances has been renamed from `exsheets-tasks' into `tasks'.
Another breaking change while we're at it) is a syntax difference with the
{tasks} environment: the optional argument for the number of columns is no
longer set in braces but parentheses. This is deliberate as it reflects the
optional nature of the argument better and is consistent with the syntax of
NewTasks, too.
Additionally the labels of the list got an additional offset of 1ex from the
items which will lead to different visual output. In some cases this might
actually lead to the most annoying changes. In this case say
settasks{label-offset=0pt} which should cure things again.
Unrelated with the above there have been improvements to the random selection of
questions which seems to work properly now.

As said in its mission statement at
http://www.philosophersimprint.org, ``Philosophers' Imprint is a
refereed series of original papers in philosophy, edited by philosophy
faculty at the University of Michigan, with the advice of an
international Board of Editors, and published on the World Wide Web by
the University of Michigan Digital Library. The mission of the Imprint
is to promote a future in which funds currently spent on journal
subscriptions are redirected to the dissemination of scholarship for
free, via the Internet.'' The journal used to accept manuscripts in
Rich Text Format only. However, for many authors, especially from the
field of logic, TeX seems to be a better choice. I was commissioned
to write a LaTeX class for this journal.
The aim of the class is to help authors to typeset their own
articles in the ``Web-ready'' format. We do not assume the authors
have any commercial fonts installed on their machines. The class
uses only freely available and freely distributed fonts.
Changes in version 1.3
- Added copyright licensing information
Changes in version 1.2
- Added trailing slash to the title page URL
Changes in version 1.1
- New formatting of journal URL
- Better handling of footnotes
- Use for microtype if exists

This package provides basic arithmetic operations to 8 decimal places for plain
TeX or LaTeX. Results are exact when they fit within the digit limits. Along
with the basic package is an optional extension that adds computation of sin,
cos, log, sqrt, exp, powers and angles. These are also exact when theoretically
possible and are otherwise accurate to at least 7 decimal places. In addition
there is provided a stack-based programing environment.

mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.2e [2013/01/10]
This version should be the last one in the 1.2 series as it seems to
correct most of the main problems which were introduced with the massive
use of mathematically active characters in versions 1.2 and 1.2b.
* It is indeed a thorny point when one wants to modify only in math mode
how an active character acts, without breaking things. The package now
does that /only/ if the activation appears to originate in the Babel
system, as it is then possible to modify appropriately the Babel macros
user@active<char> and
ormal@char<char>. The relevant issues are
discussed in section 2.10 of the user manual, in the test file
testmathastextalphabets.tex, and in the source code comments to the
macro mst@mathactivate. The inherent incompatibility of Babel with
packages having made mathematically active the characters itself makes
document active is circumvented by this interference of mathastext. A
generally applicable Babel patch could be derived from the method used
by mathastext.
* The technique of mathematical activation is maintained only for the
characters which are not catcode active (at the entrance in math mode,
as mathastext does all its activation job at everymath and everydisplay).
* Sadly, the feature of added italic corrections introduced in version
1.2b did not behave as described in the user manual, due to forgotten
group braces. Fixed.
* The command MTlowerast from the user manual of v1.2d was not the one
implemented in the source code. Fixed.
* The test files automatically extracted from a latex run on the dtx file
have been revised and extended.
* The code is better documented.

mechanism (probably just Adobe Acrobat/Reader) can be
instructed to scroll automatically from column to column,
which facilitates on-screen reading of two-column documents.
Even for single-column documents, threadcol supports the
creation of multiple article threads, which help organize
discontiguous but logically related regions of text into a
form that the user can scroll through as if its contents
were contiguous.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
morehype r0.81 as of 2013/01/04:
TEXLINKS v0.81:
`texlinks' v0.81 changes some defaults and offers new
choices for CTAN package description pages. The
documentation also gives a little overview of what the
different interfaces offer.
`texlinks' v0.81 also generates links to Google search pages
and Google maps (think of TeX user meetings), moreover to
question pages on tex.stackexchange.com and on
stackoverflow.com, and finally to the Wikibook on TeX.
These macros generate the full URLs from minimal identifiers
(and memorizable macro names) in the site-specific way.
The documentation contains several new examples.
BLOG v0.81:
* egin{enumtype}{<1/a/A/i/I>} resembling the `enumerate'
package becomes official.
* HTML entities added: soft hyphen (-), ...caron; (v),
...lig; (AE etc.)
* Documentation of `markblog' in `blog.pdf' mentions
alternative implementations of simplified/non-TeX markup
(especially `interpreter').
BLOGEXEC v0.21:
* The {noblog} environment becomes official. It
generates no HTML code at all, as opposed to `blog''s
{commentlines} that generates an HTML comment.

Summary description: The IEEEtrantools.sty package provides several commands from the IEEEtran.cls file so that they can be used under other LaTeX classes.
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I am pleased to announce the release of the v1.3 update to the IEEEtrantools LaTeX package.
IEEEtrantools.sty provides several commands from IEEEtran.cls, including
IEEEPARstart and the IEEEeqnarray family so that they may be used under other
class files.
Version 1.3 is based on version 1.8 of IEEEtran.cls. Notable changes include:
1) No longer redefines the standard LaTeX itemize, enumerate and description
(IED) lists by default. (e.g., the older package option retainorgcmds is
now the default behavior.) A new package option, redeflists, can be
invoked to redefine the standard IED list environments to their IEEE
versions. IEEEitemize, IEEEenumerate and IEEEdescription remain available in
any case. The redeflists option may not be compatible with other packages
that alter the standard IED list environments.
2) Added new *-forms of IEEEyesnumber*, IEEEnonumber*, IEEEyessubnumber*,
and IEEEnosubnumber* (the non-star form of the latter is also new) which
persist across IEEEeqnarray lines until countermanded. To provide for
continued subequations across instances of IEEEeqnarrays as well as for
subequations that follow a main equation (e.g., 14, 14a, 14b ...)
IEEEyessubnumber no longer automatically increments the equation number on
it's first invocation of a subequation group. Invoke both
IEEEyesnumberIEEEyessubnumber together to start a new equation/subequation
group.
3) Hyperref links now work with IEEEeqnarray equations. Thanks to Stefan M.
Moser for reporting this problem.
4) Now provides the IEEEproof environment, as well as the IEEEQEDhere,
IEEEQEDhereeqn and IEEEQEDoff commands. Also, IEEEproofindentspace allows
users to change the IEEEproof indentation via
enewcommand. Thanks to Mark
D. Butala, Hennadiy Leontyev and Stefan M. Moser for suggesting this.
Special thanks to Stefan M. Moser for beta testing and additional
suggestions which improved IEEEproof.
See the changelog.txt file for full details.
Enjoy!

1.2d [2013/01/02]
* an incompatibility with amsmath (its macro
esetMathstrut@),
exists since version 1.2 of the package. This is fixed
here.
* various improvements in dealing with the asterisk and in the
mechanism of letting non-letter symbols obey the math alphabet
commands.
* documentation extended and improved.
* mathastext now inserts automatically after all (latin)
letters in math mode their italic corrections, if the font
used is upright (sic). This improves the spacings for the
positioning of subscripts. The feature is de-activated
inside the math alphabets commands (apart from mathnormal),
so as to not prohibit the formation of ligatures,
* the documentation has been extended to explain in detail the
issues which are relevant to the new feature of added italic
corrections,
* version 1.2 had some bad bugs when confronted to active
characters. This is corrected and additionally MTnonletters-
-donotobeymathxx is made the default, as the user input is too
much constrained in its absence.
* a less fatal, but still annoying, typo had made the dot in 1.2
of type mathpunct rather than mathord
* the inner namespace has been rationalized a bit.

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
mathastext
package.
Summary description: Use the text font in math mode
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* A new command sets up the amount of space to be automatically
inserted before the derivative glyph (useful when using an
upright font).
* The scope of the math alphabets has been extended to apply
to the non-alphabetical characters, and also to operator
names. In usual math mode $mathbf{(sin(n!)<cos(x)?)}$
changes only the font for n and x. With mathastext and if
not told otherwise, /everything/ in the formula above
will respond to mathbf (and the automatic spaces are left
untouched).
* The documentation has been improved. The package file is
self-extracting from the dtx, and four additional test files
are also produced during `latex mathastext.dtx'.

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the
etoc
package.
Summary description: easily customizable TOCs
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.06
1. With previous versions, macros such as l@section
recovered their standard meanings only in compatibility mode
at the time of typesetting TOCs. With this version, it is
the opposite: macros such as l@section or l@subsection
have throughout the document their standard meanings, which
means that they can be customized (even if no package has
added to them customizing hooks) and that the compatibility
mode of etoc will obey this.
2. The .toc file is now read into memory at the time of
usepackage{etoc} and it is opened for write operation at
the first TOC typesetting command. Prior, both happened at
the egin{document}.
3. The commands added by the package to the .toc file are
declared to the external world to do nothing. Hence some
other package can also load the .toc file (this must happen
before the first typeset TOC) and execute its contents.
(related to the point 2 above.)
4. A number of superfluous global's and a few gdef's,
which were left-overs from the war against bugs in the
developing stages of the code, were removed.
5. The documentation has been updated and improved. An
unclear statement about secnumdepth has been corrected.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
MAJOR CHANGES:
- Wiki-like syntax announced before moves from personal/
experimental `texblog.fdf' to `blogligs.sty' and
`markblog.sty', properly documented in `blog.pdf'.
Moreover, the HTML file `markblog.htm' provides an
overview of the wiki features (and the source code in
`markblog.tex' may demonstrate the syntax too).
- `markblog.sty' and `texlinks.sty' together emulate
Wikipedia's piped links ([[Pipeline|Pipe]],
[[Pipe (computing)|]])
- HALFWAY-MAJOR CHANGES:
- `blog.sty' v0.8:
- indicating DOCTYPE
- commands for various head (meta) element entries
- abbr,
ewabbr, stylespan (for CSS), extup,
underbar, xmleltcode, xmleltattrcode;
ewlet
- arrows and quotes completed, currencies, small fractions
- other additional symbols
- modified code spaces with declared attributes
- using `langcode.sty'
- symbols restructured
- documentation fixes
- `blogexec.sty' v0.2:
- MakeBlogBeginRun revised
- new ChangeBlogBeginRun and CopyBlogBeginRun
- actually, I had failed to upload v0.1!
- `texlinks.sty' v0.7:
- links to http://tug.org/interest.html
- smart parsing for linking to mailing list postings,
based on `langcode.sty'
- ctanpkgstyref adds `.sty'
- documentation fixes
MINOR CHANGES:
- `README' corrected
- `atari_ht.fdf' uses MakeActiveLet from `catcodes' bundle
- `blogdot.sty' v0.41 modifies/corrects startscreenpage and
documentation (Firefox 12 change?)
- `srcfiles.tex' applies `filesdo.sty' for `filedate' checks
- `texblog.fdf' contains really private and experimental
code anyway and thus changes within every few days ...

package to CTAN.
Summary description: Expandable iteration on comma-separated and filename lists
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`commado.sty' provides
DoWithCSL{<cmd>}{<list>}
to apply an existing one-parameter macro <cmd> to each item
in a list <list> in which items are separated by commas.
`filesdo.sty' provides
DoWithBasesExts{<cmd>}{<bases>}{<exts>}
to run <cmd>{<base>.<ext>} for some (at most) one-parameter
macro <cmd>, each base filename <base> in the comma-separated
list <bases> and each extension in the comma-separated list
<exts>.
As opposed to LaTeX’s internal @for, no assignments are
involved (unless <cmd> uses assignments, expandability in
TeX’s gullet).
Both packages are generic, i.e., should work with Plain
TeX, LaTeX or even other formats, relying on the `plainpkg'
package for some minimal LaTeX-like behaviour.

1.04
The main new feature is support for label and
ef:
I. ableofcontents label{toc:A}
or ableofcontents* label{toc:A}
creates a label toc:A as usual (the starred form gives a
`local' table of contents).
II. Elsewhere in the document,
ableofcontents
ef{toc:A}
will re-display the contents of the TOC with label toc:A
(the
ef is detected and swallowed by ableofcontents).
III. One can also do
ableofcontents label{toc:B}
ef{toc:A}
Then
ef{toc:B} may be used elsewhere in the document
to refer to this toc:B location (it just prints the number
of the concerned TOC, but is of course an hyperlink if package
hyperref has been loaded).
The two TOCs with labels toc:A and toc:B will have the
same contents but their layouts and titles are decided
locally and may differ completely from one another.

list of LaTeX source files in the `fileinfo' bundle.
* `readprov.sty' v0.5 provides ReadShInfos to process
# ProvidesFile{<file>}[<info>]
in shell script files <file>. This is exemplified in a
parallel upload of the shell script package
`adhocfilelist'.
* The documentation inside both `.sty' files as well as
some settings in the documentation generators
`myfilist.tex' and `readprov.tex' have some adjustments/
corrections.
* While `myfilist' originally was made for use /without/
typesetting (with TeX scripts), the documentation now
notes that `ListFileInfos[<txt-file>]' can also be used
/with/ typesetting in order to get listfiles output
in a separate plain text file `<txt-file>' (/without/
