CTAN update: epstopdf
by CTAN Announcements 17 Sep '23

17 Sep '23

Karl Berry submitted an update to the epstopdf package. Version: 2.33 2023-09-15 License: other-free Summary description: Convert EPS to PDF using Ghostscript Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- epstopdf 2.33 fixes an error failing to recognize PATH elements on Cygwin (separator is : on Cygwin, not 😉. Thanks to Alois Steindl. General description: epstopdf is a Perl script that converts an EPS file to an encapsulated PDF file (a single-page self-contained file whose media box is the same as the original EPS's bounding box). The resulting file is suitable for inclusion as an image. The script runs on both Windows and Unix-ish systems. The script makes use of Ghostscript (overridable) for the actual conversion to PDF. By default, it suppresses Ghostscript's automatic rotation of pages. LaTeX users may make use of the epstopdf package, which will run the (restricted form of the) epstopdf script on the fly, thus giving the illusion that pdfLaTeX, etc. is accepting EPS graphic files. Please email bug reports to tex-k(a)tug.org. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/epstopdf More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/epstopdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: robust-externalize

Léo Colisson submitted an update to the robust-externalize package. Version number: 2.0 License type: mit Summary description: Cache anything (TikZ, python, ...) in a robust, efficient and pure way Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Major update to this caching library: it brings some major performance improvements (5 times faster than before, so overall we compile the file 22x times faster). We can also now automatically cache (or not) selected environments and macros, including tikz, precompile presets etc, parallel compilation of pictures, better documentation on how to avoid using -shell-escape, and much more. To achieve this, I needed to introduce some minor non-backward compatible changes (but the first version CTAN release was only a few days ago, so it should not be too much of an issue). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/robust-externalize More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/robust-externalize CTAN is run entirely by volunteers and supported by TeX user groups Please join a user group or donate to one, see https://ctan.org/lugs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
