The original version, v.3, had a simple way of calculating the number of years (based on 365 days to the year) for a long countdown. This was not a problem for counts less than one year, or for counts that spanned several years that did not include leap years. This version, v.5, takes into account the presence of leap years and now gives a correct year, day, hour, minute, and second representation of the time difference between the current time and the target event. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cntdwn .

CTAN new package: rvwrite
by CTAN Announcements 28 Aug '10

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 .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: marginfix Version number: 0.9 Author's name: Stephen Hicks Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/marginfix Summary description: Patches LaTeX's marginpar routines to prevent overflowing and misalignment License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As advertised at TUG 2010 (more or less). Authors using LaTeX to typeset books with significant margin material often run into the problem of long notes running off the bottom of the page. A typical workaround is to insert vshift commands by hand, but this is a tedious process that is invalidated when pagination changes. Another workaround is memoir's sidebar function, but this can be unsatisfying for short textual notes, and standard marginpars cannot be mixed with sidebars. This package implements a solution to make marginpars just work by keeping a list of floating inserts and arranging them intelligently in the output routine. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/marginfix .

i have installed a new version of the uk tex faq on ctan, and updated the version presented by http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq existing advertised faq links should continue to work. (note that there are no guarantees for links that use the long-abandoned question number form.) the major change in this version of the faq is that the package links (from the bottom of faq answer pages) now use mirror.ctan.org, rather than using www.tex.ac.uk exclusively. other changes are listed in the file help/uk-tex-faq/CHANGES-3.20 on any ctan node.
