CTAN Update: xkeyval 1.9 and pst-xkey 1.3
by CTAN Announcements 16 Jan '05

16 Jan '05

On Sun, 16 Jan 2005, Hendri Adriaens uploaded xkeyval 1.9 and pst-xkey 1.3 The xkeyval package is an extension of the keyval package and offers additional macros for setting keys and declaring and setting class or package options. The package allows the programmer to specify a prefix to the name of the macros it defines for keys, and to define families of key definitions; these all help use in documents where several packages define their own sets of keys. The pst-xkey package is an adaptation of the techniques of xkeyval to the needs of the family of packages associated with pstricks, so that those packages can safely, and with relative ease, use key-value syntax in their commands. General ---------------------------------------------------------- This is the last update of the xkeyval bundle for now. I will maintain the package though when problems come up and might implement new features if there are any requests. xkeyval 1.9 ---------------------------------------------------------- 1) Added delpresetkeys and delsavekeys 2) Added file extension to default families for ExecuteOptionsX and ProcessOptionsX 3) Added a test for back linking with pointers 4) Made the running command in XKV@whilist contain last used list entry at exit and 5) Updated license information pst-xkey 1.3 ---------------------------------------------------------- 1) Updated license information ---------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN package update: LaTeXPiX

13 Jan '05

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should shom be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: LaTeXPiX Author's name: Nick van Beurden Location on CTAN: /systems/win32/latexpix Summary description: As Is License type: nosource Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Updates of the current version (CTAN15 release) include: * Completely rewritten internal database to store objects allowing faster drawing and editing of the objects with less memory. Thanks to Robert Rutten for early testing and debugging. * PGF output functionality added, though not stable yet. Only added for demonstration purposes. * EEPIC output changed to have extension .eepic instead of .out. The PGF drawings will have the extension .pgf. This change was moreover done because .out is already an output extension for LaTeX. * Multilevel undo and now working on more stages of the drawing process. * All objects selectable with CTRL+A. Arrow drawing used to have this shortcut key and is now assigned to CTRL+W. * Stripped buggy and more or less useless features like zoom form, instances, anti-aliasing. * When previewing PDF output, now closes all documents when Adobe Acrobat Reader is already open. The preview PDF file couldn't be overwritten in previous versions of LaTeXPiX because when it is opened in Acrobat the file gets a read-only status. * Added rulers with support for centimetres and inches. Moreover, the grid distance is also controllable from the main drawing grid. * Some preferences were not stored, thanks to Robert Rutten for finding this bug. * Crash occurred when registering manually. Thanks to the various users for pointing this out. * Set unitlength to 0.254 because in EEPIC 1 inch which equals 2.54 cm so 0.254 mm. * Transparency can be set for Windows NT based systems. * Using MDI form for drawing canvas, making toggling of toolbar redundant and offering more stable user interface. * Using RGB colours instead of CMYK colours. This prevents unnecessary conversions and is somewhat more accurate. * Option added to snap to grid without forcing the mouse to snap to grid too. * Log file can be save containing all statusbar messages for debugging purposes. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/win32/latexpix although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors

CTAN upload notification: Revise bst files for natbib
by CTAN Announcements 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

On Fri, 7 Jan 2005 Patrick Daly uploaded revised bst files for the natbib package. natbib is a Bibliography style with author-year and numbered references. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/natbib License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The natbib package comes with replacement bst files for 3 of the 4 standard BibTeX styles: plainnat, abbrvnat, unsrtnat. Until now, the ordering is exactly as for the original styles, which is not always appropriate for author-year citation. Especially when works have identical authors and years, as in a multipart paper, the original ordering has undesirable side effects. The revised style files improve on this. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

by CTAN Announcements 07 Jan '05

07 Jan '05

On Tue, 4 Jan 2005 Patrick Happel uploaded an update of his package unitsdef to CTAN. There are a lot of packages for typesetting units in LaTeX2e. Some define macros to typeset a lot of units but do not suit to the actual font settings, some make the characters needed available but do not predefine any unit. This package tries to comply with both requirements. It predefines common units, defines an easy to use interface to define new units and changes the output concerning to the surrounding font settings. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/unitsdef/ Summary description: Typesetting units in LaTeX2e License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an update of unitsdef to version 0.2. It includes some bugfixes, all units are robust now, a configuration file is supported and unitsdef now uses xspace to simplify the writing process. There are some new options to exclude some abbreviations to avoid conflicts with macros defined by other packages. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN package update: pxfonts and txfonts
by Jim Hefferon 04 Jan '05

04 Jan '05

The two packages shown below have been updated at tug.ctan.org and will make their way to your favorite mirror in the next day or two. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: pxfonts / txfonts Contributer's name: karl berry Location on CTAN: /fonts/txfonts and /fonts/pxfonts Summary description: [pt]xfonts.sty update for active characters License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The txfonts.sty and pxfonts.sty packages released in 2000 by Dr. Young Ryu had the deficiency of using to specify character codes, etc. Consequently, if is an active character when these styles were read (e.g., if german.sty had been loaded), they would not work. Thomas Esser fixed this some years ago in teTeX by changing all the references to decimal. This upload simply propagates the new files to CTAN, with Dr. Ryu's permission. (Thanks also to Volker Schaa for reporting the inconsistency.) Also, the txfonts.map and pxfonts.map files from the TeX Live distribution are now included in the distribution on CTAN; they simply omit the entries for the standard base fonts (e.g., Palatino-Roman, Times-Roman). Finally, users of [pt]xfonts may be interested in this note on future work from Dr. Ryu: When I released the current txfonts and pxfonts, I thought it would be the final release. But, I have heard of some issues, especially those related to spacing of math alphabets, symbols and the size of small caps (being too small), integrals looking ugly, and parentheses being flat too quickly. I have a plan to update these fonts (together with complete hxfonts including complete math alphabets and symbols), but not until I finish something that I am now committed to. Hopefully it will be within a couple of years... - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the two packages at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/pxfonts/ and http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/txfonts/ although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors .
