Nonavailability of services next Tuesday (2018-01-16)
by CTAN Announcements 12 Jan '18

12 Jan '18

Hi, ---------------- Deutsch kommt unten. >From 2018-01-16 21:00 CET (that's next Tuesday evening in Europe) to 2018-01-17 09:00 CET (that's Wednesday morning in Europe) DANTE's server comedy will be rebooted several times. This will lead to interruption and maybe non-availability of several services (Web-Sites for CTAN/LaTeX/DANTE, CTAN, mailing lists, etc.) in that time span. It's extremely unlikely that the services won't come up automatically afterwards. Nevertheless, if that'll be the case, it might be noon until I'll find the time to care for it. And now the same in German: Zwischen dem 16.01. 21:00 Uhr (d.i. nächster Dienstag abend) und dem 17.01. 09:00 Uhr (d.i. nächster Mittwoch vormittag) wird der DANTE-Server mehrfach gebootet. Deshalb werden die Services (Web-Server, CTAN, Mailing-Listen, Email, etc.) in dieser Zeit immer wieder mal nicht verfügbar sein. Sollte beim Hochfahren was schief gehen, kann es auch bis Mittwoch mittag dauern, bis alle Services wieder laufen. Das ist aber extrem unwahrscheinlich.

Will Robertson submitted an update to the unicode-math package. Version: 0.8j 2018-01-07 License: lppl1.3c Summary description: Unicode mathematics support for XeTeX and LuaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - v0.8j (2018/01/07) * NEW * Numbers and latin letters in the fullwidth Unicode range are now supported as aliases to their ASCII counterparts (#337). * New commands `(New|Renew)NegationCommand foo` for defining custom negations accessed via ` otfoo`. * SYMBOLS * ` ypecolon` is now `mathrel` instead of `mathbin` (#360). * New symbol `mathhyphen` which acts like a ‘letter’ (#313). * ` abla` and `partial` have corrected documentation (#257). * The following legacy commands are listed as ‘unsupported’ and will result in sensible error messages rather than the old behaviour of meaningless output: `arrowvert`, `Arrowvert`, `racevert`. (#411). * BUGS * LuaTeX bug with shifted `underbrace` when it contains accented symbols worked around (#391). * When using the `range` feature, users commonly found they needed to call `setmathfont` a final time with the original font to ensure correct formatting and correct selection of symbol alphabets. I hope the issues that required this have now been corrected (#331, #387). * If `setmathfont` is called a second time in a document, it tries harder to more properly reset the maths font setup for the new font (#224). * Properly hard-coded the `delcode` of the period to ensure `left`/` ight` behave correctly in all circumstances (#344, #351, #420). * Correct `mathrm` (etc.) situation when no fonts loaded explicitly by the user (#330). * Various bug fixes to ` ot` (#126, #343, #363) * `std@minus` & `std@equal` now properly corrected (#332). * Fix problem with infinite loop with `cdots` when `amsmath` loaded after `unicode-math` (#227). * If `setmath(rm|sf|tt)` is called *before* loading `unicode-math`, the setting is now remembered (#407). * INTERNALS * A number of improvements to efficiency when loading subsequent math fonts using the `range` feature. * No longer loads the `ucharcat` package. * Test suite re-implemented for better portability and use with Travis CI. See <https://travis-ci.org/wspr/unicode-math> for the up-to-date status of whether the test suite is passing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/unicode-math The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

Adrien Bouzigues submitted the guide-latex-fr package. Version number: 2017-12-21 License type: cc-by-nc-nd-4 Summary description: a french guide on LaTeX – for beginners or advanced users Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, This is a new guide on LaTeX, entirely in French and made by a French guy who loves LaTeX and thinks there are lots of English guides available on the Internet (not that they are bad, some are even well written). So, if you're French and a complete beginner in LaTeX, or if you're just interested in LaTeX (and understand French a little), I hope this guide can be of some use. It is full of MWEs (Minimal Working Example : documentclass, packages and the main LaTeX code) so it is more easy to use (I think). I hope it can help someone ... If you like it or find a mistake, don't hesitate to leave a comment on the GGform available (link on the introduction of the guide or in the CTAN page of the guide). Thanks, A. B. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/guide-fr The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/info/guide-fr ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
