Re-arrangement of pstricks distribution on CTAN
by CTAN Announcements 12 Apr '07

12 Apr '07

The pstricks distribution on CTAN has long looked somewhat anomalous; a coherent set of contributed packages has built up, under graphics/pstricks/contrib, but the rest of the distribution was dotted around a number of sub-directories of graphics/pstricks. This structure was error-prone (as far as we archivists were concerned), but also, we believed, somewhat confusing to the user. We have therefore, with Herbert Voss' help, rearranged things so that the basic structure is graphics/pstricks/base -- containing the pstricks system itself, in subdirectories generic/, latex/, dvips/ and doc/ graphics/pstricks/contrib -- containing the many contributed pstricks packages (Note, this represents no change to the contrib/ structure.) Users may consult the (not very different) pstricks catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/pstricks.html or browse the new directory structure of the base/ distribution at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/base/ We hope that pstricks users will find the new structure satisfactory.

On Fri, 30 Mar 2007 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. The package supersedes caption2.

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

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 .
