footmisc package: bug fix

17 Mar '05

a user reported on comp.text.tex that the footmisc para option produced overflow errors on very wide pages (such as those used by the a0poster class). the new version of the footmisc package uses e-tex facilities, if they're available, to replace the previously vulnerable code (the bug is still there, for latex systems not built using e-tex).

CTAN update: xcolor 2.01
by CTAN Announcements 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 Uwe Kern submitted version 2.01 of his xcolor package to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ Summary description: Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005/03/15 v2.01 * New features: - `prologue' option for comprehensive `named' color support in conjunction with `dvips': on-the-fly generation of PostScript prologue files with all color definitions, ready for dvips inclusion and/or post-processing with device-specific parameters (e.g., spot colors); - dvips prologue file xcolor.pro to support additional `named' colors; - colorlet may now also be used to create named colors from arbitrary color expressions; - enhanced color definition syntax to allow for target-model specific color parameters, e.g. definecolor{red}{rgb/cmyk}{1,0,0/0,1,1,0}, facilitating the usage of tailor-made colors both for displays and printers; - `deferred definition' of colors: preparecolor and definecolors enable decoupling of color specification and control sequence generation, especially useful (= memory saving) for large lists of colors, of which only a few names are actually used; - `dvipsnames*' and `svgnames*' options to support deferred definition. * Changes: - higher accuracy: most complement calculations are now exact for all 5-digit decimals; - angeRGB and similar variables may now be changed at any point in a document; - aftergroupdef now performs only a first-level expansion of its code argument; - XCfileversion and similar internal constants removed from .sty and .def files; - improved memory management (reduced generation of `multiletter control sequences' by @ifundefined tests); - several internal macros improved and/or renamed. * Bugfixes: - XC@getcolor could cause unwanted spaces when psset was used inside |pspicture| environments (`pstricks'); - arithmetic overflow could happen when too many decimal digits were used within color parameters, e.g. as a result of `fp' calculations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN update: isodate 2.27
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

On Fri, 11 Mar 2005, Harald Harders submitted version 2.27 of his package isodate to CTAN. >From the README: Tune the output format of dates. This package provides ten output formats of the commands oday, printdate, printdateTeX, and daterange (partly language dependent): ISO (yyyy-mm-dd), numeric (e.g. dd.,mm.~yyyy), short (e.g. dd.,mm.,yy), TeX (yyyy/mm/dd), original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy), short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy), as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month. The commands printdate and printdateTeX print any date. The date is given as an argument using the actual date format for output: printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or printdate{dd/mm/yyyy}, and printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}. The command daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary year or month entries. E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'. ChangeLog: 2005/03/11 v2.27 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Add option british. 2005/03/10 v2.26 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Support different input formats containing slashes. - Force year in four digits for long formats. 2005/02/21 v2.25 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Changed year, month, and day from macros to counters. - Warning for unknown languages. - Fall-back format for unknown languages.

CTAN update: poemscol 2.02 (bug fix)
by CTAN Announcements 10 Mar '05

10 Mar '05

On Wed, 9 Mar 2005 John Burt submitted version 2.02 of the poemscol package to CTAN. The poemscol package is a set of LaTeX macros for typesetting critical editions of poetry. Its features include automatic linenumbering, generation of separate endnotes sections for emendations, textual collations, and explanatory notes, special marking for cases in which page breaks occur during stanza breaks, running headers of the form ``Notes to pp. xx--yy''for the notes sections, index of titles and first lines, and automatic generation of table of contents. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/poemscol License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fixes bug in typesetting poems without formal titles. Customizes formatting of poem titles. Runover portions of verse lines can be flushed to the right rather than indented. Streamlined formatting of endnotes sections. Fixed a bug which requires an .aux file from a previous run to set endnotes sections. Titles with italics or international characters no longer need special handling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN update: lineno 4.11 and ednotes 1.1
by CTAN Announcements 09 Mar '05

09 Mar '05

On Wed, 9 Mar 2005 Uwe Lück submitted updates to his packages lineno and ednotes Locations on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/{lineno,ednotes} License type: LaTeX Project Announcement text for lineno: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Rows of `array' and similar math environments may be treated like usual lines, be numbered accordingly (included in the sequence of surrounding text lines), and be referred to by these numbers. Thus they also can be subject to ednotes.sty. To make use of this, please read the CHANGES.txt next. 2. linelabel produces an error outside line numbering mode. This may be helpful when you have forgotten to switch and wonder why all line numbers are 1, e.g. -- also with ednotes.sty. 3. Some explanations in lineno.sty/tex/pdf have been amended -- cf. CHANGES.txt for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Announcement text for ednotes: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This upgrade is mainly concerned with 1. the number of possible notes, 2. page break oscillations, 3. `array' and similar mathematical environments, and with 4. a hopefully helpful error message; also with 5. amendments of documentation. Namely (see CHANGES.txt for more details): 1. Reimplementation of `ednotes.sty' with version v1.1, vital for huge editions (commercial/professional applications). You can now make three times as many notes as before, regarding the memory compartment for multiletter control strings. One user exhausted this by 11.000 notes on 450 pages (recent MiKTeX installation). Now he can add another 22.000 notes ... Warning: Customizations of epeatref and linewithpage as well as option `countoccurrences' need updates. 2. A checking function has been added for finding startings of page break oscillations. These typically must be fixed for getting correct references to lemmas in the apparatus. Explanations in `lblchng1.sty' v0.2 needed to be replaced by some of v0.32. 3. The `edtable' option of `ednotes.sty' now supports math environments like `array'. Explanations (`edtable.sty' v1.3) have been extended considerably, structured more clearly, and supplied with examples. 4. You get an error message when you have forgotten to switch into line numbering mode. I generalize from my own experience that this may be useful when strangely everything refers to line no. 1 ... 5. Documentations in `lineno.sty/tex/pdf' and `ednotugb.pdf' have been amended (additionally). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
