This has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ...................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ctanify Version number: 1.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/ctanify Summary description: Prepare a package for upload to CTAN License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ctanify is intended for developers of LaTeX packages who want to distribute their packages via the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a .tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure. The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution of TeX. Version 1.1 incorporates a patch submitted by Kirill Maslinsky that adds a command-line option to create only a TDS directory as opposed to a complete tarball. The documentation now separates commonly used command-line options from more obscure options and, at Juergen Fenn's request, notes that ctanify does not automatically run latex on the user's behalf. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/ctanify .

Viewportshift flicker was fixed. An empirical translation between OpenGL and PRC shininess was implemented. Splined parametric surfaces are now used to implement smooth thick lines and tubes. The projected bounding box calculation and angle calculations were fixed. A labelsurface function was added. The Headlamp light is now the default light; a light argument was added to shipout. Patches are now constructed with the usual orientation for a counterclockwise external path; the convention for tensor product shading was updated. Picture environments for TeX clipping are no longer nested. A texpath initialization bug was fixed. An ASYMPTOTE_HOME environment variable was added. Viewing was fixed for file names conntaining spaces. A picture sizing bug was fixed. An example of an inset graph was added. Type information for variables is now returned at the interactive prompt. Warning message suppression was improved; warnings in Asymptote code can now be disabled. The cyclic member of an array is now writeable; the obsolete cyclicflag and void cyclic(TINYINT(1)) functions were removed. File mode functions are now virtual members; this backwards incompatibility requires that line(file f) be changed to f.line(), etc. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote .

On Sunday, 9 August 2009, Norman Gray submitted an update to the bibhtml package. It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: biblio/bibtex/contrib/bibhtml Summary description: BibTeX style files (.bst) for producing HTML/XML License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bibhtml consists of a set of BibTeX style files, which allow you to use BibTeX to produce bibliographies in HTML. These are modelled closely on the standard BibTeX style files: plain.bst -> plainhtml.bst. To accompany them, this package includes a pair of XSLT scripts which illustrate how you might integrate these generated bibliographies into an XML/HTML workflow. This is version 2.0, released after a long hiatus. Differences from v1.3: * The package now supports HTML versions of all four standard BibTeX styles * The functionality of the style files has been improved, and is now based on the output from urlbst versions of the standard styles (ie, it includes @webpage entry types, and url fields on all entries) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/biblio/bibtex/contrib/bibhtml (replacing current contents) .

CTAN update: dashrule 1.2
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

On Sunday, 9 August 2009, Scott Pakin submitted an update to the dashrule package. It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/dashrule Summary description: Draw dashed rules License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The dashrule package makes it easy to draw a huge variety of dashed rules (i.e., lines) in LaTeX. dashrule provides a command, hdashrule, which is a cross between LaTeX's ule and PostScript's setdash command. hdashrule draws horizontally dashed rules using the same syntax as ule, but with an additional, setdash-like parameter that specifies the pattern of dash segments and the space between those segments. Because dashrule's rules are constructed internally using ule (as opposed to, e.g., PostScript specials) they are fully compatible with every LaTeX back-end processor. Version 1.2 of dashrule fixes a bug (reported by Piazza Luca) that prevented hdashrule from working properly within a tabular cell and adds support for empty dash patterns for more consistency with PostScript's setdash command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/dashrule .

CTAN update: pkfix-helper
by CTAN Announcements 09 Aug '09

09 Aug '09

On Saturday, 8 August 2009, Scott Pakin submitted an update to the pkfix-helper package. It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: /support/pkfix-helper Summary description: Make PostScript files accessible to pkfix License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pkfix is a useful utility for replacing resolution-dependent bitmapped fonts in a dvips-produced PostScript file with the corresponding resolution-independent vector fonts. Unfortunately, pkfix needs to parse certain PostScript comments that appear only in files produced by dvips versions later than 5.58 (ca. 1996); it fails to work on PostScript files produced by older versions of dvips. pkfix-helper is a program that attempts to insert newer-dvips comments into an older-dvips PostScript file, thereby making the file suitable for processing by pkfix. pkfix-helper can sometimes process documents fully autonomously but does require the user to verify and, if needed, correct its decisions. Version 1.2 of pkfix-helper provides a --cache option that can speed up the processing of multiple PostScript files by analyzing TFM font metrics once, storing the results in a specified cache file, and reusing that cache file on subsequent runs. This feature was requested by M. S. Dousti. The accompanying encoding-samples.pdf document, which shows samples of various TeX font encodings to help a user identify obscure document fonts, has been enhanced to include samples of eufm10, msam10, msbm10, wasy10, ptmr8r, cmtex10, and stmary10. This enhancement was requested by Rogério Brito. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/pkfix-helper .

I have installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. Thanks for the upload. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/etoolbox.html or browse the package's directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/etoolbox/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
