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

i have installed a slightly revised version of my footmisc package on the archive. changes are: -- the long standing complaint about @makecol not matching has been resolved -- users may change the value of footnotelayout using enewcommand (previously they had to use def) i have taken this opportunity to make the package's licence information correct (as in its layout). having completed this (essentially bookkeeping) version, i hope to get around to a new version incorporating suggestions submitted by other users. unfortunately my timetable this year has got somewhat awry, for health reasons. the package's catalogue entry may be reviewed at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/footmisc.html or the package directory may be browsed at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/footmisc/ Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN package update: siunitx
by CTAN Announcements 16 Jun '08

16 Jun '08

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. (Please note that the location of this package has changed.) 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/contrib/siunitx Summary description: A comprehensive (SI) units package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- The siunitx package --- A comprehensive (SI) units package -------------------------------------------------------------- Typesetting values with units requires care to ensure that the combined mathematical meaning of the value plus unit combination is clear. In particular, the SI units system lays down a consistent set of units with rules on how these are to be used. However, different countries and publishers have differing conventions on the exact appearance of numbers (and units). The siunitx provides a set of tools for authors to typeset numbers and units in a consistent way. The package has an extended set of configuration options which make it possible to follow varying typographic conventions with the same input syntax. The package includes automated processing of numbers and units, and the ability to control tabular alignment of numbers. A number of LaTeX packages have been developed in the past for formatting units: SIunits, sistyle, unitsdef, unitspkg, fancyunits and fancynum. Support for users of all of these packages is available as emulation modules in siunitx. In addition, siunitx can carry out many of the functions of the dcolumn, rccol and numprint packages. -------------------------------------------------------------- Release Notes for Version 1.0 -------------------------------------------------------------- This is the first full release of siunitx, and is now considered stable. Users upgrading from the earlier test release v0.8d should note the following changes, which may require alteration of their source: - The option tabalign now covers all alignment in columns provided by siunitx. The previous effect of tabalign is now available as the tabnumalign option. - The column type s in version 0.8d has been renamed to S (note change of case). This is to accommodate a column for units alone, which now takes the letter s. There are also a number of new or improved features and bug fixes compared to the last testing release. TeX distribution maintainers are encouraged to add siunitx to their bundles. The package is supplied with a TDS-ready archive, containing the pre-built documentation, to make this process easier. -------------------------------------------------------------- Status of SIunits -------------------------------------------------------------- With this release of siunitx, the existing SIunits package moves to maintenance-only status. No further features will be added to SIunits: only existing bugs will be fixed. Users of SIunits are encouraged to move to siunitx, which includes all of the abilities of the SIunits package. -------------------------------------------------------------- Future plans -------------------------------------------------------------- Requests for new features for the next release (v1.1) are very welcome. Some ideas have already been supplied during the final testing phase for this release. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/siunitx .

On Fri, 13 Jun 2008 Dominik Wassenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package, 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.

This is now fixed. - Enhanced the 'idem' functionality: If a citation with shorthand precedes a citation of the same author or editor without shorthand, the string 'idem' is now replaced by the author's or editor's name, since this information cannot be gathered from the shorthand citation and thus could mislead the reader. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/exptl/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .

CTAN update: letltxmacro v1.2
by CTAN Announcements 14 Jun '08

14 Jun '08

On Fri, 13 Jun 2008 Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update to the letltxmacro package.
