CTAN has a new package: lua-inputenc
by CTAN Announcements 27 Sep '08

This package has be put up at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ..................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: lua-inputenc Author's name: Javier Bezos Author's email: ctan(a)tex-tipografia.com Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/lualatex/lua-inputenc Summary description: Minimal inputenc for LuaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This file provides a quick support for input encondings in LuaLaTeX (font encodings and languages will follow shortly). It is intended mainly for test purposes, and not as a true input encoding mechanism taking advantage of the possibilities provided by LuaTeX. When used with LuaTeX, you can use two encodings--namely latin1 and utf8. It will give wrong results with the T1 font encoding, because fontenc relies on the LICR, so a lua-fontenc is on the way. With the package option activechars, it calls inputenc, and the LICR mechanism based on active chars is used. With standard TeX, lua-inputenc just calls inputenc (ie, activechars is the default). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/lualatex/lua-inputenc .

This package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .......................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: latexmk Author's name: John Collins Location on CTAN: /support/latexmk Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation program License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX document. Given the source files for a document, latexmk issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps, .pdf or hardcopy version of the document. An important feature is its preview continuous mode, where it watches all of the source files (primary file and included TeX and graphics files), and reruns LaTeX etc whenever a source file has changed. Thus a previewer can have an updated display whenever the source files change. The new version (4.01) has important improvements over the previous released version (3.07a): 1. A new method of detecting when a new run of latex is required. This deals robustly with certain macro packages that generate and then read in the generated files on a subsequent run of latex/pdflatex. 2. Much better configurability of the external commands invoked by latexmk. 3. Indexing works with packages multind, and index, as well as makeidx. 4. Many bug fixes and smaller improvements in response to user requests. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/latexmk .

CTAN has a new package: keys3
by CTAN Announcements 24 Sep '08

24 Sep '08

The package below 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: keys3 Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/explt/keys3 Summary description: Key management for LaTeX3 License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The keys3 package is an experimental implementation of key management for LaTeX3. The entire package is written in expl3 code rather than in traditional TeX/LaTeX. The key module used by keys3 is based on that introduced by the pgfkeys package from the pgf/TiKZ bundle. Keys are thus addressed in a path-like manner, and are controlled by key properties: /module/key/.code:n = <code>, /module/key/.value required:, /module/key = <value> The keys3 package is intended as a method for testing how key management might be implemented in LaTeX3. Both the methods used inside the package and the interface provided are intended to be discussed. Feedback is welcomed either by e-mail (joseph.wright(a)morningstar2.co.uk) or at the package website (http://keys.berlios.de). The experimental nature of keys3 and the underlying expl3 system means that it should not be used in production documents. However, programmers testing expl3, or keen to work on improved key management systems, are encouraged to try the package and provide feedback. keys3 is *not* an official LaTeX3 team package. Whether any of the ideas explored here will be taken up by the team is therefore unknown. However, the keys3 package should provide ideas on what needs to be available for key management and how it can be implemented. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/explt/keys3 .

It includes real small caps, all current math symbols (TeX, AMS and more), in normal and bold version. The kepler's project is to provide a very large set of options to customize your typesetting. This 2.3 release gets: - a new option 'nofligatures' with no fi, fl, ff, ffi and ffl ligature. The 'f' glyphs are redesigned to get a good result; now, searching a word like 'difficult' became possible with all viewers. - a new option 'partialup' with upright design of the partial symbol, - a new shape 'scsl' with slanted smallcaps. - new kerning uppercase-lowercase of large small caps. - new kerning P-s.
