new ctan package: prodint
by CTAN Announcements 30 Mar '11

30 Mar '11

Richard Gill encouraged me to install on CTAN a copy of his and J C Loredo's prodint font. I have now done so. from the catalogue entry i have just written: Product integrals are to products, as integrals are to sums. They have been around for more than a hundred years, they have not become part of the standard toolbox, possibly because no-one invented the right mathematical symbol for them. The authors remedied that situation by proposing the symbol and providing this font. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/prodint.html or browse the package's directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/prodint/ The catalogue entry will appear for the first time when my processing runs overnight tonight.

CTAN has a new package: filemod
by CTAN Announcements 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

On Wed, 23 Mar 2011, Martin Scharrer submitted the filemod package. Summary description: Package to display and compare file modifcation dates License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides macros to read and compare the modification dates of files. These files can be .tex files, images or other files as long as they can be found by the LaTeX compiler. It uses the pdffilemoddate primitive of pdfLaTeX to receive the file modification date as PDF date string, parses it and returns the value to the user. This package will also work for DVI output with recent versions of the LaTeX compiler which uses pdfLTEX in DVI mode. The functionality is provided by purely expandable macros or by faster but non-expandable ones. Examples: % Prints file modification date and time of main file filemodprint{jobname} % Include newest of a set of files: input{filemodNewest{{file1}{file2}{file3}}} ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/filemod .

Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Previous versions modified solely mathnormal, mathrm and mathbf. The new release also links mathit, mathsf and mathtt to the document text fonts (at the time of loading the package or at each call to the macro Mathastext when it is used for defining math-as-text versions). In its current state, mathastext can thus be seen as providing a somewhat complete generic math support for Latin text fonts provided without one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext .
