CTAN Update: pst-circ
by CTAN Announcements 28 Feb '08

28 Feb '08

Herbert Voss submitted an update to the pst-circ package to CTAN. Pst-circ is a package built using PSTricks and in particular pst-node. It can easily draw current 2-terminal devices and some 3- and 4-terminal devices used in electronic or electric theory. The package’s macros are designed with a view to ‘logical’ representation of circuits, as far as possible, so as to relieve the user of purely graphical considerations when expressing a circuit. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-circ License: LPPL This new version 1.44 comes with a lot of new microwave symbols. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org//graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-circ/ .

CTAN Update: notes2bib
by CTAN Announcements 26 Feb '08

26 Feb '08

On Tue, 26 Feb 2008 Joseph Wright submitted an update to the notes2bib package. The notes2bib package defines a new type of note, bibnote, which will always be added to the bibliography. The package allows footnotes and endnotes to be moved into the bibliography in the same way. The package can be used with natbib and biblatex as well as plain LaTeX citations. Both sorted and unsorted bibliography styles are supported. The package makes use of the e-TeX extensions (any post-2005 LaTeX distribution will provide these by default, but users of older systems may need to use an elatex command or equivalent). It also makes use of the xkeyval and etoolbox packages.

The package consists in a library of macro for drawing the projections. The complex polytopes appears in the study of the roots systems and play a crucial role in many domains related to mathematics and physics. These polytopes have been completely described by Coxeter in his book Regular Complex Polytopes. there exist only a finite numbers of exceptional regular complex polytopes (for example the ikosae dron) and some infinite series (for example, one can construct multi-dimensional analogous of the hypercube in any -finite- dimension). The library contains two packages. The first, pst-coxcoor, is devoted to the exceptional complex regular polytopes whose coordinates have been pre-computed. The second, pst-coxeterp, is devoted to the infinite series. One can find also other informations in the beautiful page of Jean-Michel Sarlat: http://melusine.eu.org/syracuse/pstricks/pst-cox/ To contact me, use the email given in the documentation of the package. best wishes Jean-gabriel Luque ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-cox .

The package below has been updated on 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: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/curve Summary description: A curriculum vitae class for LaTeX2e License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is edition 1.15 of CurVe. What's new in this version: ** Support for itemize environments, suggested by Mirko Hessel-von Molo. ** Added some documentation about vertical spacing problems in |bbl| files, suggested by Seweryn Habdank-Wojewódzki. CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/curve .

On Wed, 20 Feb 2008, Till Tantau submitted version 2.0 of the TikZ/pgf package to CTAN. PGF is a macro package for creating graphics.

CTAN Update: numprint package
by CTAN Announcements 17 Feb '08

17 Feb '08

On Sun, 17 Feb 2008 Harald Harders submitted a new version of the numprint package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/numprint Summary description: Update of the numprint package to address two bugs License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Print numbers with a separator every three digits and convert numbers given as 12345.6e789 to 12,345,6cdot 10^{789}. Numbers are printed in the current mode (text or math) in order to use the correct font. Many things, including the decimal sign, the thousand separator, as well as the product sign can be changed by the user, e.g., to reach 12,345.6 imes 10^{789}. If requested, numprint can round numbers to a given number of digits. If an optional argument is given it is printed upright as unit. Numbers can be rounded to a given number of digits. The package supports an automatic, language-dependent change of the number format. Tabular alignment using the tabular(*), array, tabularx, and longtable environments (similar to the dcolumn and rccol packages) is supported using all features of numprint. Additional text can be added before and after the formatted number. 2007/05/18 v1.38 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Moved counters prt@curpos and prt@rndpos outside the macro definitions to avoid an overflow of counters - Replaced stepcounter and addtocounter by advance because otherwhise, umprint does not work inside ensuremath{ ext{$...$}}. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/numprint . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=numprint (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 .
