CTAN package update: listings
by CTAN Announcements 10 May '06

10 May '06

A package update has been installed at tug.ctan.org and it should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: listings Author's name: Brooks Moses Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/listings Summary description: Typeset source code listings using LaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Typeset programs (programming code) within LaTeX. The source code is read directly by TeX. Keywords, comments and strings can be typeset using different styles (default is bold for keywords, italic for comments and no special style for strings). Includes support for hyperref. To use, simply usepackage{listings}, identify the language with lstset{language=Python}, then employ the egin{lstlisting} ... end{lstlisting} environment or the lstinputlisting{filename.py} command. NOTE: The original author of this package, Carsten Heinz, became inactive sometime in late 2004. Hendri Adriaens took over maintenance of the package in accordance with the LPPL's procedure for abandoned packages. He then passed the maintainership of the package to Brooks Moses, who had volunteered for the position while this procedure was going through. This release, version 1.3c, is not yet the long awaited bugfix release, as the new maintainer (Brooks Moses) has neither a list of reported bugs nor a good test suite to use to check to make sure that the fixes don't break other things. Thus, he asks that users email him reports of any outstanding bugs that they are aware of, as well as examples of interesting uses of listings that should go into the test suite. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/listings/ .

With two central members of the CTAN team absent and the third extremely busy, response to requests in the period from 1 to 5 May (in particular) is likely to be even more than usually sluggish. The Cambridge server will shut down its upload mechanisms, but will continue to serve files by ftp or http. We apologise in advance for any difficulties users may experience: we will restore service as quickly as possible. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: boxhandler
by CTAN Announcements 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

On Mon, 24 Apr 2006 Steven B. Segletes submitted the new package boxhandler to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler Summary description: Flexible Captioning and Deferred Box/List Printing License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a powerful, yet simple, interface for managing and manipulating the captions of boxed objects (e.g., tables and figures). In addition to providing wide flexibility in the presentation style of the captions, this package, when used in combination with conditionally compiled LaTeX source codes, provides the ability to defer or preempt the presentation of figures, tables, and their associated lists. In this way, one can, for example, by changing a single line of source code in the .tex file, change the output of LaTeX from a technical report with tables and figures interspersed in the text, to a journal-manuscript submission, with figures collected at the end of document, as well as lof and lot deferred or preempted. Run `boxhandler.ins' through LaTeX to produce boxhandler.sty from boxhandler.dtx. Run `boxhandler.dtx' through LaTeX to produce the documentation. This program can be redistributed and/or modified, with attribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Sch�pf

CTAN update: polynom v0.17
by CTAN Announcements 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

On Thu, 20 Apr 2006, Hendri Adriaens submitted an update to the polynom package by Carsten Heinz. Because Carsten Heinz could not be reached anymore for a long time, this package has been taken over according to the LPPL for maintenance by Hendri Adriaens on 2006/04/20. This package was using and redefining internals of the keyval package and hence it was incompatible with xkeyval. This problem has been solved and the processing of the vars key has been simplified. All other things are left as the original by Carsten Heinz. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

Re: tug.ctan.org site will not be working for a while
by CTAN Announcements 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

I believe that http://tug.ctan.org is back. I would appreciate an email if someone notices a remaining problem. I will leave a small notice up on the home page for a day or two. The major reason for the outage was a software upgrade that should improve our ability to gather and maintain metadata. In particular, there is an improved upload facility that will allow contributers to directly edit package descriptions, etc. These scripts should emerge from testing in the coming weeks. Allow me, please, a thanks. Part of the upgrade -- the part I was scratching my head about -- involved putting a version 8 of the database PostgreSQL onto my Debian system (Sarge stable now has a version 7). While I was aware that magical things can be done with apt-get, dpkg, etc., I didn't personally know how to do them. Then I found Vadim Kutchin's article http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/373 and it was perfect. Of course, CTAN is built on the contibutions of many people so in some ways I am not surprised at his generosity in publishing the steps, but wow was I glad when that article title showed in Google!
