CTAN Pacakge Update: CJK 4.7.0 released
by CTAN Announcements 20 Oct '06

20 Oct '06

On Tue, 17 Oct 2006, Werner LEMBERG submitted the new version 4.7.0 of the cjk package. Location on CTAN: /language/chinese/CJK License: gpl Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf _______________________________________________ This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/chinese/CJK/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=cjk (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 . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . _______________________________________________ CJK 4.7.0 ========= CJK 4.7.0 is available from ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/language/chinese/CJK and other CTAN hosts and its mirrors. Following the CTAN rules, the source files of CJK are unpacked. Additionally, the archive CJK-4.7.0-doc.tar.gz is available, providing some CJK documentation and example files in various output formats. Current development snapshots (updated twice a day) are available as http://cjk.ffii.org/cjk-current.tar.gz Bug reports should go to cjk-bug(a)ffii.org. CJK is a macro package for LaTeX, providing simultaneous support for various Asian scripts in many encodings (including Unicode): Chinese (both traditional and simplified) Japanese Korean Thai A special add-on feature is an interface to the Emacs editor (cjk-enc.el) which gives simultaneous, easy-to-use support to a bunch of other scripts in addition to the above: Cyrillic Greek Latin-based scripts Russian Vietnamese See below for the relevant snippet from the history file. Enjoy! Werner ====================================================================== Version 4.7.0: 17-Oct-2006 new: A new encoding `HK' (C05) is available for Hong Kong's HKSCS-2004, used in combination with Big 5. `UTF8' encoding now supports full Unicode (up to U+10FFFF). Subfont planes for ranges greater than U+FFFF consist of four hexadecimal digits (for example `foo025E' which covers U+25E00-U+25EFF). The Unicode command (and CJKchar) has been extended to accept Unicode values greater than U+FFFF. CJKutf8.sty: Support Unicode encoded bookmarks if the hyperref package is used. Automatically generate ToUnicode cmaps for pdftex (tested with pdftex version 3.141592-1.30.4-2.2; it currently doesn't work with virtual fonts). Caption files in UTF-8 encoding have been added; the files are identical to the encoding-specific versions. ja Japanese ko-Hang Korean using Hangul ko-Hang2 another version using Hangul ko-Hani Korean using Hanja zh-Hans Chinese simplified zh-Hant Chinese traditional errors: UTF-8 input character 0x80 was handled only partially. pinyin.sty: The package didn't preserve `ding' which is defined in pifont.sty, causing problems with older versions of the hyperref package and its `hpdftex' driver option. CJK.sty: Make it work with font definition files (like the ones from the fourier package) which expect that the loading-settings are called only once. The use of caption files within the `scrartcl' class made chapter a defined command (instead of reporting an error). With the koma-script classes, all CJK caption files except for Korean produced bad looking TOC entries for part.

CTAN has a new package: magyar.ldf 1.5

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: New Hungarian Babel language definition (magyar.ldf 1.5) Author's name: Péter Szabó Location on CTAN: /language/hungarian/babel Summary description: New Hungarian Babel language definition (magyar.ldf 1.5) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- An update to magyar.ldf (version 1.5) has been available since 2004 from http://www.math.bme.hu/latex/ . Although the update has been sent to the Babel authors in 2004, Babel still contains the old, buggy, incompatible version (1.4, ftp://tug.ctan.org/pub/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/babel/magyar.dtx ), which not only fails to implement many typographic features required by the Hungarian language, it also conflicts with many other packages and classes, such as amsart.cls, graphics.sty and hyperref.sty. Hungarian LaTeX users are generally happy with the new version 1.5, and most can be solved by asking the user to upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5.

CTAN package Update: BaKoMa TeX 7.72 - TeXWord improvements.
by CTAN Announcements 13 Oct '06

13 Oct '06

Basil K. Malyshev submitted an update to the bakoma package. Location on CTAN: systems/win32/bakoma License: shareware Most noticeable improvements (in short): * Way to resume of hanging TeX engine. Blinking button will be appeared at right bottom corner of TeXWord window when TeX is running more then a second without progressive reading. * Fixed crash of TeXWord at displaying incomplte math formulas in long paragraphs. * BkSp removes selected text like to Del. * Ctrl+Del removes word forward (when no selection) * Ctrl+BkSp removes word backward. * warning of upgrade expiration. * /space character is added to cmcyr10 and cmcyr12 fonts to enable using them in Postscript. More details about changes and another bug fixing see at: <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/programs/changes7.html > PS: Please send announce to appropriate mailing lists. -------------------- About BaKoMa TeX 7.72 ------------------ BaKoMa TeX 7.72 supports two coexisting IDE: 1) BaKoMa TeX Word - Visual (True WYSIWYG) LaTeX Editor. 2) Text Editor + DVI Viewer - Classical IDE. About BaKoMa TeX Word. BaKoMa TeX Word is True WYSIWYG LaTeX Editor. The word `True' is used to highlight two following facts: 1) It is True WYSIWYG Editor. It means that display shows precisely the same what will be printed. It looks as if you edit your document immediately in DVI Viewer window. 2) It is True LaTeX Editor. It edits LaTeX source text without any import/export procedure. It means that you can load and edit any LaTeX 2e document. BaKoMa TeX Word is built on top of BaKoMa TeX graphic engine and consequently it inherits all features of BaKoMa TeX related with import graphics, font support, and document export. It supports processors: (1) Standard TeX and (2) e-TeX. Other processors such as Omega may be added in future. It imports: EPS, PDF, JPEG, PNG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, MSP, BMP, WMF, EMF, FIG, HPGL, and DXY. It supports fonts: OpenType (OTF/TTF), TrueType, PostScript Type1 (including MM), PostScript Type 3, and TeX PK/VF. It exports: DVI, PDF, SVG, PS, PNG (with HTML wrapper), and HTML (TeX4HT). It includes built-in PostScript interpreter accessible via DVIPS compatible special interface that supports such macro packages as: PSTricks, PSFrag, graphics (psfig), draftcopy, PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc. Most important application of BaKoMa TeX Word is final step corrections of LaTeX papers before publishing. Editing slides in WYSIWYG interface (with such packages as PowerDot, Prosper, Beamer, etc.) is another impressive feature of `BaKoMa TeX Word'. Beginner users of LaTeX may consider TeXWord as good start point for learning LaTeX together with writing papers. TeXWord is transparent for cooperation. TeXWord don't use additional macro packages. So that documents made with TeXWord may be compiled in any LaTeX setup without any adaptation. In other side, TeXWord can handle arbitrary LaTeX documents. So, that your coleagues may even don't know that you use powerful WYSIWYG tool to edit your part of common work. More information about `BaKoMa TeX Word' is at: <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/programs/texword.html> Some snapshots are available at: <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/snapshots/> Root of BaKoMa TeX distribution is at: <http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/bakoma/> ------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN Update: PGF and TikZ version 1.09
by CTAN Announcements 13 Oct '06

13 Oct '06

On Wed, 11 Oct 2006, Till Tantau submitted an update to the PGF/TikZ package. PGF is a macro package for creating graphics. It is platform- and format-independent and works together with the most important TeX backend drivers, including pdftex and dvips. It comes with a user-friedly syntax layer called TikZ. Its usage is similar to pstricks and the standard picture environment. Unlike pstricks, it can produce either PostScript or PDF output, and works with plain (pdf-)TeX, (pdf-)LaTeX, and ConTeXt. Location on CTAN: graphics/pgf License: Dual (GPL/LPPL, FDL/LPPL, resp.) Announcment text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After one year without a new versions of pgf/TikZ, I finally managed to ready a new version. I recommend updating to this version to all reasonably experienced users. After user feedback on this version, I intend to remove any remaining serious compatibility bugs (in theory, there should not be any) and to create a very stable version 1.10 within the next few weeks. Changes in version 1.09 of pgf/TikZ compared to the previous version 1.01: - Added usepgflibrary and usetikzlibrary to simplify adding new libraries. - Added native ConTeXt support in the form of module wrappers. - Added patterns. - Added crosses snake. - Added to and edge path operations. - Added to path library. In particular, this gives decent curved paths. - Added tikz automata library. - Added tikz er diagram library. - Added tikz Petri net library. - Added tikz mindmap library. - Added access to nodes in other pictures (!). - Added extended baseline setting. - Added functionality to add new coordinate systems. - Added polar xy coordinate system. - Added diamond shape (!). - Added plot mark phase, repeat and indices. - Added text height and text depth options. - Added label and pin options. - Added automatic node placement (!). - Added pgfsys-dvi.def for pure dvi mode. Supports only black and white drawing (proof on concept, only) - Cleared up license chaos. - Reorganized library documentation. - Removed pgflibraryautomata, use pgflibrarytikzautomata instead. - Fixed tree level option bug. - Fixed missing options for coordinates. - Fixed bug in TikZ parabola code. - Fixed bug in TikZ snake cycle code. - Fixed bug with empty list in pgffor - Fixed bug in code for insertion of dvips header specials. - Fixed bug in shading code (wrong bigpoint correction). - Fixed bug #1472666. - Fixed bug #1473255. - Fixed bug #1526175. - Fixed bug #1542512. - Fixed bug in TikZ transformation code for nested pictures. - Fixed patch #1443606. - Fixed path #1526178. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the update.

these macros have been moved from ctan directory macros/latex/contrib/proof to directory macros/latex/contrib/lkproof there are several reasons why this is desirable; from ctan's point of view, it reduces the number of confusing name clashes. i have taken the opportunity of updating the package, from the author's web site in japan, to the current version 3.1.

CTAN update: dvdcoll 0.6
by CTAN Announcements 11 Oct '06

11 Oct '06

On Mon, 9 Oct 2006, Josef Kleber submitted an update to his 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.

CTAN Update: Making Friends with LaTeX (Version 2.00)
by CTAN Announcements 10 Oct '06

10 Oct '06

On Mon, 9 Oct 2006, Rohit Vishal Kumar submitted an update to his mfwl package. Location on CTAN: /info/MFwL Summary description: MFwL is a small presentation which helps introduce LaTeX to Newbies License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Making Friends with LaTeX (MFwL) started out as a small presentation, which i used to introduce my students to LaTeX. However, with the release of Ver 1.00 in Jauary 2006, I received a lot of feedback on the presentation and I therefore decided to extend it. The second version, made using the powerdot package, has been extended and currently this presentation stands at 64 slides; more than double from its first version. The objective of MFwL is to introduce new comers to LaTeX and make them aware of various aspects of working with LaTeX. This work may be distributed and/or modified under the conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.3 of this license or (at your option) any later version.

CTAN update: cool 1.3
by CTAN Announcements 08 Oct '06

08 Oct '06

On Sun, 8 Oct 2006, N Setzer submitted an update to his cool package (COntent-Oriented LaTeX). The package gives LaTeX the power to retain mathematical meaning of its expressions in addition to the typsetting instructions; essentially separating style from the content of the math. One advantage of keeping mathematical meaning is that conversion of LaTeX documents to other executable formats (such as Content MathML or Mathematica ode) is greatly simplified. The package requires the coolstr, coollist, and forloop packages. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cool Summary description: COntent-Oriented LaTeX License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Update to the cool package that adds the ability to alter the DifferentialD in both the Integral and derivative, adds the ability to alter the symbol of some of the fundamental constants, adds the ability to alter the symbol of the IdentityMatrix, and adjusted the parentheses by adding mathopen{} before the left tag (to improve spacing). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=cool (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 .
