CTAN Update: Package xbase moved
by CTAN Announcements 23 Jun '08

23 Jun '08

On Fri, 20 Jun 2008 Morten Høgholm submitted an update to the xbase package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/project/xbase Summary description: Update and move of xbase License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The xbase bundle provides the packages xparse and template, and the support package ldcsetup. The packages require expl3 to be installed. The xparse provides a high-level interface for declaring document commands, e.g., a uniform way to define commands taking optional arguments, optional stars (and others), mandatory arguments and more. The template package provides an interface for defining generic functions using a key=val syntax. The ldcsetup package used to establish prototype LaTeX3 coding conventions, needed by xparse and xbase, but is now slowly being stripped in favor of functionality added to expl3. The LaTeX Team has decided to move xbase from macros/latex/exptl/project to macros/latex/contrib/project to indicate that the code is now less volatile and can be used in everyday use. Changes will happen with time but we feel that in its present state it is quite usable. All files are also available in the Subversion (SVN) repository of the LaTeX3 Project, which is located at http://www.latex-project.org/svnroot/experimental/trunk The bundle on CTAN is a snapshot of the SVN repository as of 2008/06/20. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/project/xbase .

CTAN has a new package: Hyphenation Patterns in UTF-8
by CTAN Announcements 21 Jun '08

21 Jun '08

The package here has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Hyphenation Patterns in UTF-8 Author's name: Jonathan Kew, Mojca Miklavec, Arthur Reutenauer Location on CTAN: language/hyphenation-utf8 Summary description: Hyphenation patterns have been converted into UTF-8 and should serve as a replacement for the old patterns without any change in functionality. The patterns should be considered upstream replacement that will be used in TeX Live and other distrubutions instead of loding the old files. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX have urged the need to provide hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format. These patterns should replace the old ones eventually. This is the first upload to CTAN that will enable testing for TeX Live 2008 and is not yet set in stone. In particular we still want to change all the copyright notes in patterns, and add some documentation. SVN repository is available on http://www.tug.org/svn/texhyphen. Bug reports and feature requests welcome. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/hyphenation-utf8 .

CTAN Package update: UK TeX FAQ v3.18
by Robin Fairbairns 20 Jun '08

20 Jun '08

I have released v3.18 of the (English) FAQ, and installed it on CTAN as well as its own little web site http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq As always, there have been a number of minor changes since the last release; the significant ones are listed in the file CHANGES-3.18 in the distribution, which I append below. Users may view the catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/faq.html or visit the faq directory with its jumble of files at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq/ There was a brief interruption of service with the Web version of the FAQ; this related to the arrival of the new version and has (I think) been corrected. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team (not to mention my own interests) Changes in version 3.18 This file lists changes since its most recent release (with version 3.17 of the FAQ). New answers: +Label acroantics:getting Adobe Reader to produce the right size output +Label inst-scut: introduction to the old inst-miktex and to inst-tds-zip +Label inst-tds-zip: installing a package using .tds.zip files +Label onna-stick:making MikTeX run from a memory key +Label papergeom: how to select the correct paper geometry +Label prept1font:the generating metrics part of old instt1font +Label tds-zip: brief outline of TDS ZIP files Revised answers: +Label biblatex: now discusses crossTeX too +Label bibtranscinit: discuss truly excessive sets of initials +Label chngmargonfly: mention new changepage package +Label findfiles: correct one of the search address links +Label fmtconv: add tex4ht as a route to word format, tidy up +Label footintab: I _think_ the answer now says what I meant it to say! +Label labelfig: mention (auto-)pst-pdf +Label letterspace: microtype now covers the functionality of old letterspace +Label luatex: detail some recent developments +Label oddpage: mention new changepage package +Label papersize: rewritten as intro to new acroantics and papergeom +Label parallel: mention the pdfcolparallel package +Label patch: rewrite to downplay patch, add mention of ted and etoolbox +Label pkfix: mention pkfix-helper +Label poster: updated with further informative links, etc. +Label protect: rewritten (again) +Label psfchoice: add kpfonts, link to the font catalogue at various points mention font catalogue (as a whole) and maths font survey Web interface: A mechanism is now in place, whereby old question labels may be used to get to the nearest current equivalent of the question. It does not cover *all* old questions: please mail faq-devel(a)tex.ac.uk if you have a problem with an old question label that you have stored. Bugfixes: Bits of silliness in the web interface continue to surface. They get mended as soon as I work out how; the most recent was a tendency not to translate extbackslash -- I know how to correct it, but not why it happened... 2008-06-20
