CTAN update: biber
by CTAN Announcements 01 Sep '10

01 Sep '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ........................................................................ Update summary: ........................................................................ This version should be used with biblatex 0.9c Most notable changes in this update: * Biber::BibTeX moved to Biber::Input::BibTeX. If upgrading, please remove your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX.pm * New aliases for EPRINT classes and types implemented (see BibLaTeX docs) * Biber now resolves XREFs as well as CROSSREFs so one less LaTeX pass is needed * Allows UTF-8 citekeys. Requires Text::BibTeX >= 0.46 and a fully Unicode-aware engine (XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX). * RecDescent parser is no longer supported or included. If upgrading, please remove your installed <perl lib>/Biber/BibTeX directory * Now requires LaTeX::Decode >= 0.03 * Stricter version dependency for Text::BibTeX. Older than 0.42 is rather useless for complex names. * Re-factored and enhanced auto-re-encoding of .bib/.bbl. With biblatex 0.9c, Biber handles all reencoding. * Misc bug fixes ........................................................................

CTAN new package: rvwrite

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ................................................................................ The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: rvwrite Version number: 1.2 Author's name: CV Radhakrishnan Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/rvwrite Summary description: This package helps to fix insufficient number of write registers. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The io registers in TeX are often a matter of severe limitation. When we try to typeset a document that loads a lot of packages, it becomes a non-trivial task to satisfy register requirements of various packages that compete each other. It is further complicated, if refining the typeset copy involves usage of more custom packages which want to write out a few streams for reading during subsequent TeX compilations. LaTeX needs a few registers by default, some of the packages might need a few more streams thereby reducing the available number of registers to less than ten. At times, we have been forced to comment out a few write registers which are seemingly unused for the document in question to make available necessary registers for our custom packages. But, this is not an elegant way, also, it requires developer intervention during the production process. A package namely, rvwrite.sty, is written to solve this nagging problem. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rvwrite .
