CTAN update: PGF and TikZ version 1.01
by CTAN Announcements 16 Nov '05

16 Nov '05

On Wed, 16 Nov 2005, Till Tantau submitted an update to the pgf package. PGF is a macro package for creating graphics directly in TeX and LaTeX. Its usage is similar to pstricks and the standard picture environment. Unlike pstricks, it produces both PostScript and PDF output and works together with latex, dvips, pdftex, and pdflatex. PGF is used extensively with beamer for production of presentations. This version is a bugfix version. Version 1.01 of pgf/TikZ: - Added textures support. - Added text opacity option. - Fixed bug in pgfbasesnakes.code.tex causing lot's of 'missing = in nullfont' message in log file. - Fixed bug that made plain tex mode unusable. - Fixed missing pgfsys-vtex.def in FILES. - Fixed wrong box placements in compatibility mode. - Fixed SVG support to create legal xml. - Moved documentation to doc/generic/pgf. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

Experimental CTAN Tree: commercial/
by CTAN Announcements 07 Nov '05

07 Nov '05

The CTAN team has, over the years, had requests to hold sample packages from, or limited-use versions of, commercial products. Because these may be of interest to our visitors, we have decided to try providing such a facility. We will be creating a new tree commercial/ in the near future. Commercial suppliers of TeX-related material will be welcome to make submissions for such a tree via our usual upload mechanism. We expect to eventually migrate all of the shareware that we hold to this tree, as time permits. We are aware of potential pitfalls arising from this expansion, so we wish to note two cautions. (1) We cannot operate as a sales site. In particular, we are unable under any circumstances to take money for this service. (2) All Internet users are aware of the explosion of programs that steal from users, whether by stealing personal information, or credit card numbers, or passwords, or by stealing the user's system resources. One reservation that we have is that a commercial/ tree would carry with it a greater potential for us to inadvertently add to this explosion. Therefore, we retain the right to reject any materials that we judge to be malware, or to remove it from the archive when it is reported to us. Malware includes software containing viruses or trojans. It also includes spyware, i.e., software components that transmit personal or system information without knowledge or approval of the user. Judgement as to what software falls into this category will be at the sole discretion of the CTAN team. Jim Hefferon for the CTAN team comments to: ctan (at) dante.de

CTAN update: The caption package v3.0h
by CTAN Announcements 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

On Thu, 3 Nov 2005 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments License type: lppl Abstract: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table and cooperates with many other packages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is mainly a bugfix release of the caption package 3.0, so for example using it together with the french(le) package or endnotes package should not result in errors anymore. Furthermore the code documentation is finally complete now. Additionally the compatibility to the caption2 package was increased, so migrating simply means replacing caption2 by caption in most cases.
