CTAN has a new package: filemod
by CTAN Announcements 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

On Wed, 23 Mar 2011, Martin Scharrer submitted the filemod package. Summary description: Package to display and compare file modifcation dates License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides macros to read and compare the modification dates of files. These files can be .tex files, images or other files as long as they can be found by the LaTeX compiler. It uses the pdffilemoddate primitive of pdfLaTeX to receive the file modification date as PDF date string, parses it and returns the value to the user. This package will also work for DVI output with recent versions of the LaTeX compiler which uses pdfLTEX in DVI mode. The functionality is provided by purely expandable macros or by faster but non-expandable ones. Examples: % Prints file modification date and time of main file filemodprint{jobname} % Include newest of a set of files: input{filemodNewest{{file1}{file2}{file3}}} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/filemod .

Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous versions modified solely mathnormal, mathrm and mathbf. The new release also links mathit, mathsf and mathtt to the document text fonts (at the time of loading the package or at each call to the macro Mathastext when it is used for defining math-as-text versions). In its current state, mathastext can thus be seen as providing a somewhat complete generic math support for Latin text fonts provided without one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .

Summary description: Perl script to display the definition of TeX commands License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The 'texdef' Perl script is displays the definition of given (La)TeX command sequences/macros. Various options allow the selection of the used class and package files and other things which can have influence on the definition (before/after the preamble, inside an environment, ...). The script creates a temporary TeX file which is then compiled using (La|*)TeX to receive the `meaning` of the command sequence. The result is formatted and presented to the user. Length or number command sequences (dimensions, char..., count registers, ...) are recognized and the contained value is also shown (using ` he`). Special definitions like protected macros are also recognized and the underlying macros are shown as well. The 'texdef' script will show plainTeX definitions by default. LaTeX and ConTeXt are supported, including flavors (pdf(la)tex, lua(la)tex, xe(la)tex, ...). The flavor can be selected using an command line option or over the script name: 'latexdef' will use LaTeX as default, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/texdef .
