CTAN update: xint
by CTAN Announcements 20 Mar '16

20 Mar '16

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.2g 2016-03-19 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- List selectors [L][n], [L][a:b], in expressions are faster. And items are counted starting at zero, not one ([L][a:b] already followed exactly Python slicing rules). The iter keyword's meaning has changed, new one associated with rseq, former one which is associated to rrseq renamed to iterr. The float operations with large precision handle small inputs faster. The documentation has an example of using iter to implement expandably the Brent-Salamin algorithm for digits of Pi. See CHANGES.{pdf,html} for more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint We are supported by the TeX User Groups.

Clea F. Rees submitted the prooftrees package. Version number: 0.3 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Forest-based proof trees (symbolic logic) Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- prooftrees supports drawing proof trees of the kind often used in introductory logic classes, especially those aimed at students without strong mathemtical backgrounds. Hodges (1991) is one example of a text which uses this system. When teaching such a system it is especially useful to annotate the tree with line numbers, justifications and explanations of branch closures. prooftrees provides a single environment, prooftree, and a variety of tools for annotating, customising and highlighting such trees. A cross-referencing system is provided for trees which cite line numbers in justifications for proof lines or branch closures. prooftrees is based on Forest and, hence, TikZ. The package requires version 2.0.2 of Forest for expected results and will not work with version 1. The author is certain that some of her beliefs are false, but sure that her belief that prooftrees has bugs is not among them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/contrib/prooftrees More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/prooftrees We are supported by the TeX user groups.

Richard Gay submitted the keyvaltable package. Version number: 0.1 2016-03-13 License type: lppl1.2 Summary description: Re-usable tables separating content and presentation Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The main goal of the keyvaltable package is to offer means for typesetting tables easily and yet still looking rather nicely in a way that separates content from presentation and with re-usable layout for tables of the same type. For this purpose, the package provides the environment KeyValTable, which allows one to typeset tables that have a previously defined column layout and whose rows can be produced in a key-value fashion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/keyvaltable More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/keyvaltable We are supported by the TeX User Groups.

New on CTAN: beamercolorthemeowl

Ross Churchley submitted the beamercolorthemeowl package. Version: 0.1.1 2016-03-15 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: A flexible beamer color theme to maximize visibility Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The effectiveness of a colour scheme is heavily dependent on the conditions you present in. Colours that look nice on a computer screen may be invisible projected; colours that stand out in a lit room may strain the eyes in a dark room. If possible, you should carefully choose from Beamer's wide variety of colour themes to find one that fits your presentation's individual needs. The above paragraph would be excellent advice, except for one thing — only a handful of pre-selected colour themes are publicly available for Beamer. The vast majority of Beamer presentations use one of the built-in colour themes, which are effective in some conditions but inadequate in others. The goal of this package is to reduce the number of situations you find yourself without any good colour options. Owl is a flexible dark or light colour theme designed for maximum readability in environments where most themes fall flat. Main features: - Dark color theme for presenting in low-light conditions - Optional light color theme for presenting in bright ambient light - Redefines color names red, green, blue, yellow to values that are visible when displayed by certain projectors, particularly those with a very bright green channel and dim red and blue channels. This behaviour can be optionally disabled, with the provided colours also available as OwlRed, OwlGreen, etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/beamercolorthemeowl The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer-contrib/themes/beamercol… We are supported by the TeX users groups.

CTAN update: asymptote

15 Mar '16

John Bowman and Andy Hammerlindl submitted an update to the asymptote package. Version number: 2.37 License type: lgpl3 Summary description: 2D and 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The xasy graphical user interface now runs under both Python 2.7 and Python 3. Legacy versions (prior to 9.14) of Ghostscript can be supported by assigning settings.epsdriver=epswrite (or by setting the environment variable ASYMPTOTE_EPSDRIVER to epswrite). The quiet flag suppresses noninteractive standard output when settings.verbosity <= 1. A progress function was added to the plain_strings module. The smoothcontour3 module was optimized to use Bezier triangles where appropriate, along with a built-in least-squares routine and an improved root finder based on quadratic interpolation. If settings.sysdir is empty, preference is given to a version of kpsewhich in the same directory as the executable for determining the correct sysdir. The handling of degenerate normals of Bezier triangles was fixed. Bugs in forking, INT formatting, dash adjustment, subpaths, and guide reversion were fixed. Version 1.30 of asymptote.sty (auto-generated) and version 0.35 (or later) of media9.sty are now required. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote We are supported by the TeX users groups.

CTAN update: xint
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '16

13 Mar '16

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.2f 2016-03-12 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bug fixes - squaring macro xintSqr from xintfrac.sty was broken due to a misspelled sub-macro name. Dates back to 1.1 release of 2014/10/28 :-((. - 1.2c's fix to the subtraction bug from 1.2 introduced another bug, which in some cases could create leading zeroes in the output, or even worse. This could invalidate other routines using subtractions, like xintiiSquareRoot. Improvements and new features - functions binomial, pfactorial and factorial in both INT and float versions. - faster implementation and increased accuracy of float power macros. - faster implementation of both integral and float square root macros. - the float square root achieves _correct_ (aka _exact_) rounding in arbitrary precision. - modified behaviour for the xintPFloat macro, used by xintthefloatexpr to prettify its output. It now opts for decimal notation if and only if scientific notation would use an exponent between -5 and 5 inclusive. The zero value is printed 0. with a dot. - the documentation offers a more precise (and accurate) discussion of floating point issues. - various under-the-hood code improvements; the floatexpr operations are chained in a faster way, from skipping some unneeded parsing on results of earlier computations. The absence of a real inner data structure for floats (incorporating their precisions, for one) is however still a bit hair rising: currently the lengths of the mantissas of the operands are computed again by each float macro or expression operation. - renewed desperate efforts at improving the documentation by random shuffling of sections and well thought additions; cuts were considered and even performed. See CHANGES.{html,pdf} for more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/generic/xint More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/xint We are supported by the TeX User Groups.
