CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '07

03 May '07

On Wed, 2 May 2007, Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate Summary description: creating portable PDF animations from graphics files and inline graphics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of (vector) graphics files or from inline (vector) graphics, such as LaTeX-picture, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. It supports the usual PDF making workflows, i. e. pdfLaTeX and LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf (Ghostscript). The resulting PDF can be viewed in current Adobe Readers on all supported platforms. The new release is based on Optional Content Groups (OCGs), aka PDF-Layers, to make animations fully functional in Adobe Reader 8 as well. Interestingly, OCG-based animations perform better in older Reader versions, which might be a bug in Reader 8. Therefore, a second version of the package, `animate-noocg', is provided, which still uses the old, non-OCG-based method. Command, ewframe*, for use within the `animateinline' environment, has been added. If placed after a particular frame it causes the animation to pause at that frame. The animation continues normally after clicking it again. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/animate . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=animate (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 .

It follows the PDF-1.5 and PDF-1.6 specifications for embedding multimedia content.

Re-arrangement of pstricks distribution on CTAN
by CTAN Announcements 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

The pstricks distribution on CTAN has long looked somewhat anomalous; a coherent set of contributed packages has built up, under graphics/pstricks/contrib, but the rest of the distribution was dotted around a number of sub-directories of graphics/pstricks. This structure was error-prone (as far as we archivists were concerned), but also, we believed, somewhat confusing to the user. We have therefore, with Herbert Voss' help, rearranged things so that the basic structure is graphics/pstricks/base -- containing the pstricks system itself, in subdirectories generic/, latex/, dvips/ and doc/ graphics/pstricks/contrib -- containing the many contributed pstricks packages (Note, this represents no change to the contrib/ structure.) Users may consult the (not very different) pstricks catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pstricks.html or browse the new directory structure of the base/ distribution at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/base/ We hope that pstricks users will find the new structure satisfactory.

CTAN Update: The caption package v3.0o
by CTAN Announcements 31 Mar '07

31 Mar '07

On Fri, 30 Mar 2007 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. The package supersedes caption2. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a bugfix release of the caption package 3.0: - KOMA-Script variants of `parskip' and `parindent' re-added, since they still collide with the actual version of the subfig package (Sigh!)

CTAN package downgrade: teTeX obsolete
by Robin Fairbairns 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Thomas Esser announced that he had stopped supporting teTeX some time back. Now that a new release of TeX-live has appeared, which has the potential to be used in all applications where teTeX was previously preferred, I have (with Thomas' agreement) moved teTeX to the obsolete tree on CTAN. It will stay there for a while, as reference material. Thanks are due to Thomas for all his work on his excellent distribution, over the years. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements. dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL new in v1.1: - new languages dvdcoll.cls now also supports Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish - new class option pdfencoding encoding used in bookmarks and pdf annotations (pdfdocencoding, unicode) - new command listofemptydescriptions to produce a list with all titles with empty descriptions - Bugfix: now correct output of all non-ASCII characters in pdf annotations by switching to correct pdf encoding (see: class option pdfencoding) and switching off active characters within environment Dvd - Bugfix: switch to LoadClass and DeclareOptionX* to prevent unused global options warning - several minor improvements and bugfixes (see: CHANGES) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll .

CTAN Update: beamer version 3.07
by CTAN Announcements 12 Mar '07

12 Mar '07

On Sun, 11 Mar 2007, Till Tantau wrote submitted an update to the beamer package. The beamer LaTeX class can be used for producing slides. Its functionality is similar to Prosper but does not need any external programs and can directly produce a presentation using pdflatex. Beamer uses pgf for pdf/ps independent graphics. Frames are created using frame{...}, and a frame can build multiple slides through a simple notation for specifying material for each slide within a frame. Beamer supports bibliographies, appendicies and transitions. Short versions of title, authors, institute can also be specified as optional parameters. A plainframe{} allows a picture, for example, to fill the whole frame. Support figure and table environments, transparency effects, a ransduration command, animation commands, a pauses environment. Beamer also provides compatibility with other packages like prosper. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/beamer License: GPLv2 Annoucement: After two years, this is the first bugfix release! It fixes some of the most troublesome bugs: 1) The problem with wrong colors after blocks in dvips mode. 2) The wrong name pgfuselayout mentioned in the manual. 3) Frame titles of fragile frames can be given inline. Furthermore, the chaotic license refences have been fixed, copyrighted pictures have been removed and this release should now be perfectly free. Changes: 2007-03-11 Till Tantau <tantau(a)users.sourceforge.net> CVS: - LyX layout removed since it is now part of the LyX development tree. - Cleaned up documentation. - Cleaned up license chaos and removed all possibly copyrighted material. - Fixed incorrect subsubsections in vertical navigation bars. - Fixed problem with overlay specifications in amsmath environments. - Fixed superfluous show in beamerthemeshadow.sty - Fixed color problem in beamer boxes with rounded corners. - Fixed problem with frametitle syntax in fragile frames. - Fixed missing frame subtitles in article mode. - Added french solution translations (due to Philippe De Sousa). _______________________________________________ Thanks for the upload.

As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL new in v1.0: - new feature: Seasons in the Bookmarks dvdcoll.cls now offers a new level Season for grouping dvds into a season in the bookmarks by simply setting dvdnumering=season as option in DvdSeries - several minor improvements and bugfixes (see: CHANGES) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll .

by CTAN Announcements 24 Feb '07

24 Feb '07

On Fri, 23 Feb 2007, David Kastrup submitted an update to the qstest bundle. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/qstest Summary description: qstest/makematch bundle for unit tests and pattern matching License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The bundle contains the packages `makematch' for matching patterns to targets (with a generalization in the form of pattern lists and keyword lists), and `qstest' for performing unit tests, allowing to run a number of logged tests ensuring the consistency of values, properties and call sequences during execution of test code. Both packages make extensive use of qstest in their package documentation, providing illustrated examples that are automatically verified to work as expected.
