Christian Reibiger submitted the
pdftricks
package
Summary description: A LaTeX package to use PSTricks code with PDF output.
License type: gpl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides automatization facilities to use the pstricks package with
pdflatex. It is intended to be of easy use and interoperability with latex and
pdflatex, namely both show the same result.
The pdftricks2 package circumvents the problem that pdflatex can not handle
ps-code by writing an extra latex file that contains only the figure. This files
are converted to dvi to ps and then to pdf. Finally the resulting pdf-pictures
are included in the text as a graphic. This process can be handled automatically
by the package but it needs to have the possibility to execute system commands
(start pdflatex with option--enable-write18 or -shell-escape). If you do not
want to grant this rights you still can use the package but you have to execute
a shell script the package writes yourself to produce the pdf-pictures. In this
case you have to run pdftex again to include the pictures in your document.
The package tries to show the same results when used with latex as for pdflatex.
However there are some side effects of using this package as described in the
documentation.
Although this package is inspired by the pdftricks package, it is coded from
scratch. The pdftricks package has some flaws that are circumvented by
pdftricks2. For example you have to gather all configurations you need for your
pictures in one place. Furthermore it is not possible to share configuration
code between your figures and the main text. Also the pdftricks package does not
use the provided limits of the figure you produce but rather assumes it fits on
a standard page and cuts everything away that does not look like being
important.

Summary description: listfiles alignment with date and version columns
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the output from LaTeX's listfiles, `nicefilelist.sty'
keeps separate columns for (i) date, (ii) version, and
(iii) caption of LaTeX source files according to their
Provides... statements. The alignment is not disturbed by
long base filenames or short filename extensions such as
`.fd'. The specification is Martin Muench's.
v0.7 deals with another challenge from the latter:
a package option `[wrap]' provides automatic word wrapping
within the caption column, so filenames and captions can
be quite long without disturbing the alignment. For this
purpose, I finally resort to a package not invented here:
`hardwrap' by Will Robertson and Kevin Godby.
As opposed to the `dateiliste' package, this is in fact
about the plain text output in the .log file or, with the
`myfilist' package, as a stand-alone plain text file.

- updated the banking style header to include the option to show a title.
- set the values of arrayrulewidth and doublerulesep to their standard values (0.4pt and 2pt resp.) to enable the drawing of rules in tabulars and arrays by default.
- modified the code of makecvtitle and makelettertitle of the casual style to avoid it to cause horizontal alignment issues after and before itself.
- corrected a bug in makelettertitle of most styles that displayed the current date ( oday) instead of the date given through the date command, as reported by B. Schlimmchen and S. Fnord.
- removed the need to set pdfpagelabels=false when loading hyperref, by putting pagenumbering{arabic} (to define hepage) before loading hyperref, as figured out by J. Wolf.
- corrected the line wrapping of cvlistitem of the banking style.
- corrected a bug in makecvtitle and makelettertitle of the banking style.
- removed an unwanted space in the footer of the casual style.
- moved the font style definitions to moderncv.cls for better readability (moderncv.cls is meant to be a sort of header file, implementing only some macros shared by all styles and defining the macros that the style files need to implement).

1.15f [2012/10/25]
* $, #, &, and \% had been re-defined by mathastext since its
inception in a rather strange (but working) way, which
could cause surprises to other packages. Fixed.
* The subdued mechanism for the math alphabets is implemented
in a simpler and more efficient manner than in 1.15e.
* The `defaultxx' options act a bit differently, and are more
useful in case of a `too many math alphabets' situation.
* Various improvements in the documentation.
* General clean up and better commenting of the source code.

package.
Summary description: listfiles entries from command line
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FIRST UPLOAD was v0.6 as of 2012-10-14.
UPLOAD of v0.7 as of 2012-10-17 (2012-10-18):
* New option -c adds test of date consistency with the
`filedate' package and may thus be a way to check
date consistency with XeLaTeX (where pdffilemoddate
is not available ... may be silly ...).
* Indeed new option -x uses `xelatex' rather than `latex'
(see manual `adhocfilelist.htm' for discussion of
possible silliness -- somewhat missing in `filedate'
discussion).
* Some documentation mistakes have been corrected.
* srcfiles.tex checks date consistency for scripts and
documentation and lists what is used indeed
(but cf. makehtml.log from recent makehtml.tex).
* `adhocfilelist.RLS' provides a release summary with
`typeoutfileinfo', appearing in SrcFILEs.txt too.
v0.8 should allow -c with an explicit list of filenames ...
UPLOAD r0.3 (2012-10-19):
* added present RELEASE.txt (started for v0.7)
* corrected adhocfilelist.tds.zip
* added `filedate' checks in makehtml.tex, additionally
to those in srcfiles.tex
* listfiles in makehtml.tex (HTML driver) more careful,
using `nicefilelist', for comparison with SrcFILEs.txt

Uwe Lück submitted the
filedate
package to CTAN.
Summary description: Access and compare info and modification dates
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`filedate.sty' provides basic access to the date of a LaTeX
source file according to its ProvidesFile, ProvidesPackage,
or ProvidesClass entry -- the info date --, as well as to
its modification date according to pdffilemoddate if the
latter is available. Moreover commands are provided to compare
the info date with the modification date, with today's
date, or with another date that a script accessing modifica-
tion dates such as adhocfilelist.sh may insert, and to choose
the effect of comparisons (error vs. notice, reference date
characterization). Thus updating the info date (date con-
sistency) of a source file may be ensured by a test during
typesetting from it or by some (shell/TeX) script.
In fact the test today admonished me to update the
documentation source and driver `filedate.tex'. Another
motivating example of date inconsistency was `nicefilelist'
v0.6 as of 2012-10-11 (see version history) with info date
2012/10/03.

Uwe Lück submitted the
adhocfilelist
package to CTAN.
Summary description: listfiles entries from command line
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
`adhocfilelist.sh' is a shell script to display a list of LaTeX
Provides... contents on screen. Parameters can be either a list
of comma-separated file names or criteria for the Unix `find'
utility, especially to restrict the list to LaTeX source files
modified <digits> days ago, such as today. Command line options
provide interfaces to the find utility and to packages `myfilist',
`longnamefilelist', and `nicefilist' for accessing and aligning
those file informations.
DOCUMENTATION: The manual `adhocfilelist.htm' can be read by a
web browser, and the command line option `-h' provides an
abridged version of it.
REQUIRED: This works on Unix-like systems only, and probably the
GNU version of `find' is required. The LaTeX bundle `fileinfo'
must be installed, and full functionality requires the LaTeX
packages `longnamefilelist' and `nicefilelist'.

This update fixes two bugs:
- this package introduced hard spaces in captions (and maybe on other locations,
too) when used together with Babel. These are now removed.
- When used without listfiles, compilation hung in an endless loop. Now we give
a warning instead.
Thanks to Matthias Pospiech, Markus Kohm and Andrew Swann for reporting the bug
and analyzing the causes. See http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/75533/3335 for some
