Re: dante.ctan.org upload: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 06 Jun '08

06 Jun '08

On Thu, 5 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1d - BUGFIX: The global option 'oldauthor' which was introduced in version 1.1c caused an erroneous behaviour when used together with 'idembib=true' (which is the default). This is now fixed. - New option 'editorstring' which can take the values 'parens', 'brackets' and 'normal'; the default is 'parens'. This option sets the string 'editor' (abbreviated 'ed.') in parentheses or in brackets, or just puts the string (with a preceding comma) after the editor name. - New option 'edbeforetitle' which can take the values 'true' and 'false'; the default is 'false'. When set to 'true', the editor in @INCOLLECTION and @INPROCEEDINGS entries will be typeset before the booktitle ('... in: Editor (ed.): Booktitle ...') rather than afterwards ('... in: Booktitle, ed. by Editor ...'). - Small correction in the terse version of the List of Shorthands concerning the punctuation after authors/ editors. - Added missing bibliography drivers for option 'edbyidem'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

CTAN package update: moreverb
by Robin Fairbairns 03 Jun '08

03 Jun '08

I have updated the moreverb package, following advice from Morten Ho{}gholm to a user. The moreverb package offers a miscellany of verbatim functions; it requires the verbatim package from the LaTeX required distribution. Changes to the package include Morten's patch, and a variety of editorial tidies. I have updated the catalogue and installed a .tds.zip file. Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/moreverb.html or browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/moreverb/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 02 Jun '08

02 Jun '08

On Mon, 2 Jun 2008, Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. This package contains a small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles. Biblatex-dw is dependent on biblatex (at least version 0.7) and cannot be used without it. Location on CTAN: /maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.1c - BUGFIX: With the option 'idem=false', the author of a first citation who was cited immediately before with another work lacked the forename. - BUGFIX: The option 'edbyidem=false' produced a superfluous 'ed. by'; string. - BUGFIX: Small punctuation issue with repeated citations and 'herename'. - New option 'namefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. The default is none, i.e. authors and editors are set in normal font shape. With 'useprefix=true', this option also affects the name prefix. - New option 'firstnamefont' which can take the values 'smallcaps', 'italic' and 'bold'. This also affects the name prefix (with 'useprefix=false') and the name affix. - The option 'oldauthor' is now also available as global option in order to disable the feature. If you set 'oldauthor=false' globally, every entry option 'oldauthor=true' is ignored. Thus, you can set the fontname for every author with global options, independent of entry options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/maros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

On Thu, 22 May 2008 at 12:16 +0200, Werner LEMBERG submitted an update to the wadalab package. These are font bundles for the Japanese Wadalab fonts which work with the CJK package.

CTAN Package update: rotating
by CTAN Announcements 19 May '08

19 May '08

I have installed an update of the rotating package (which I maintain). Changes in v 2.15 -- A fair bit of work on the .dtx, so that the manual is more useful -- Horizontal position of rotated floats on their page is controllable -- Redone the code on auto-rotating of floats in two-side documents; I believe i've solved the problem reported on comp.text.tex recently A .tds.zip file is available. Users can review the catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html or browse the distribution directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/ (I would appreciate reports of continuing problems with auto-rotation of floats.)

CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 18 May '08

18 May '08

On Fri, 16 May 2008 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package. The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This updated version of `animate' uses a different method for animating graphics. The use of PDF Layers (OCGs) was dropped in favour of a Widget based method which produces animations that perform better in newer Acrobat Reader versions. The OCG based method is still available and can be selected by the package or command option `useocg'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animate . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=animate (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN package update: siunitx

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: siunitx Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/siunitx Summary description: A comprehensive (SI) units package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8: - Table alignment extended to cover exponents - Units can now be repeated after errors and multiplied numbers - Negative values can appear in a different colour to positive numbers - Improvements to emulation of other packages - Fix for loading-order issue with numprint - Improved appearance of astronomy-style angles Version 0.8 marks the interface freeze for siunitx. There will (hopefully) be no changes to the interface without good reason and backward-compatibility. Moving to an official (v1.0) release depends very much on bugs in the current version. Please report any bugs or annoyances, and they will be investigated! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/siunitx .
