CTAN package downgrade: teTeX obsolete
by Robin Fairbairns 30 Mar '07

30 Mar '07

Thomas Esser announced that he had stopped supporting teTeX some time back. Now that a new release of TeX-live has appeared, which has the potential to be used in all applications where teTeX was previously preferred, I have (with Thomas' agreement) moved teTeX to the obsolete tree on CTAN. It will stay there for a while, as reference material. Thanks are due to Thomas for all his work on his excellent distribution, over the years. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Update: dvdcoll
by CTAN Announcements 24 Mar '07

24 Mar '07

On Fri, 23 Mar 2007 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the dvdcoll package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll class supports all these requirements. dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on. Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish. Some help is needed for other languages! ;-) License: LPPL new in v1.1: - new languages dvdcoll.cls now also supports Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish - new class option pdfencoding encoding used in bookmarks and pdf annotations (pdfdocencoding, unicode) - new command listofemptydescriptions to produce a list with all titles with empty descriptions - Bugfix: now correct output of all non-ASCII characters in pdf annotations by switching to correct pdf encoding (see: class option pdfencoding) and switching off active characters within environment Dvd - Bugfix: switch to LoadClass and DeclareOptionX* to prevent unused global options warning - several minor improvements and bugfixes (see: CHANGES) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll .

Story Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/aeb_pro Summary description: Members of the AeB Pro Family of Software License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A collection of four LaTeX packages and one batch file for Acrobat Pro. These are the first members in the AeB Pro Family of software. All packages require the use of Acrobar Pro and Acrobat Distiller. Includes: (1) The aebXMP Package: A LaTeX package that fills in the advance metadata. Requires Acrobat 8 Professional, and uses E4X, the xml parser that is built into version 8 JavaScript engine. (2) The AcroSort Package: A novelty package for importing an image that has been sliced into rows and columns and randomly rearranged. The JavaScript does a bubble sort on the picture. (3) AeB Slicing batch sequence: This is a batch sequence for Acrobat Pro that takes the image open in Acrobat and slices it into a specified number of rows and columns, and saves the slices to a designated folder. (4) The AcroMemory Package: A LaTeX package that implements two variations of a memory game: (1) a single game board consisting of a number of tiles, each tile has a matching twin, the object is to find all the matching twins; (2) two game boards, both identical except one has been randomly rearranged, the object is the find the matching pieces in each of the two game boards. (5) Robot Man: This one is just for fun. The aeb_pro package itself has yet to be published. Coming soon, I hope. dps ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/aeb_pro .
