This should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint MIchael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ijmart Version number: 1.5 Author's name: Boris Veytsman Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ijmart Summary description: LaTeX class for The Israel Journal of Mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Israel Journal of Mathematics is published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press. This class provides LaTeX support for its authors and editors. It strives to achieve the distinct ``look and feel'' of the journal, while having the interface similar to the one of the amsart document class. This will help the authors already familiar with amsart to easily submit manuscripts for The Israel Journal of Mathematics or to put the preprints in http://www.arxiv.org with minimal changes in the LaTeX source. Changes: Version 1.1: Added environments namedprop and namedprop* for special named propositions. Version 1.1a: Minor documentation updates. Version 1.2: New table of contents formatting. Version 1.3: Changed the typesetting of proofs that end by a math display. This involves interface changes. Changed table of contents formatting (again). Version 1.4: Fixed the bug inherited from amsart: now appendices do not cause large indentations in table of contents Version 1.5: Added compatibility with babel ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ijmart .

CTAN Update: preview
by CTAN Announcements 22 Feb '10

22 Feb '10

On Sun, 21 Feb 2010, Ralf Angeli submitted an update to the preview package. Summary description: Extract bits of a LaTeX source as graphics License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or images, into separate pages of a DVI file. This works with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF files. Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the tbook XML system and some other tools. The preview package is being developed along and distributed with preview-latex. With the integration of preview-latex into AUCTeX as of version 11.81, the preview package became part of AUCTeX as well. It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution files available at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>. CTAN provides the standalone preview package at <CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>. For more information about the preview package please refer to the home page of AUCTeX at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>. Version 11.86 of the preview package adds support for XeTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/preview/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=preview (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 .

by CTAN Announcements 17 Feb '10

On Mon, 15 Feb 2010, Francois Charette submitted an update to the biber package. Biber is a BibTeX replacement for users of biblatex, with full Unicode support, written in Perl. This release coincides with the release of biblatex 0.9. This version of Biber was in fact specifically developed for that version of biblatex 0.9. See the accompanying README file for requirements and installation instruction. Location on CTAN: /biblio/biber License type: artistic Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugfix release. * Removed support for legacy biblatex control files (jobname-blx.bib): Biber now only reads .bcf files which are generated by biblatex with the option backend=biber. * Improved handling of uniquename and namehash. * Don't escape LaTeX special chars in bbl output, as it breaks math formatting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/biblio/biber .

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 15 Feb '10

On Mon, 15 Feb 2010 Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package, a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.8) and cannot be used without it. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.2o ====================================================== Note that this version is NOT COMPATIBLE WITH BIBLATEX 0.9! ====================================================== - BUGFIX: When using the options 'xref=true' and 'useeditor=false', the editor was not printed in the bibliography. This is now fixed. Also, some bugs regarding the xref functionality in citations could be fixed. - BUGFIX: The editors in @incollection, @inproceedings and @inreference entries were printed using the name format 'sortname' ('Lastname, Firstname') where it should have been the name format 'byeditor' ('Firstname Lastname'). This is now fixed. - New option 'omiteditor': If one uses 'useeditor=false' and 'omiteditor=true', the editor in citations will be omitted. The same applies to the xref functionality in the bibliography. With 'useeditor=true', this option has no effect. The standard for this option is 'false'. - The limitation regarding the combination of 'xref=true', 'edbyidem=true' and 'useeditor=false' is no longer valid. That means, it is not necessary to have the editor in the child entry as well in order to get an 'idem' string. - Extended the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .
