Samuel Springuel submitted an update to the gregoriotex package. Version number: 4.2.0-beta1 License type: gpl3 Summary description: engraving Gregorian Chant scores Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We're trying to update GregorioTeX to account for engine changes in TeXLive2016. This beta contains the first batch of changes, but still needs further testing against the pretest. We think that there's a potential problem with xcolor (which we use to implement colored staff lines). These changes allow documents using our package to compile to the point where the apparent xcolor problem shows up. We're hoping that by uploading these changes into the pretest it will be easier for the xcolor authors to see the problem we're having and then help diagnose and fix the problem (be it with xcolor or our own package). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/gregoriotex More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/gregoriotex We are supported by the TeX User Groups.

CTAN Update: hyperxmp

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version: 2.9 2016-04-27 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: authors, base URL, contact telephone number/postal address/email address/URL, copyright statement, creation date, document identifier, document instance identifier, document type, file format, keywords, language, LaTeX file name, license URL, metadata writer, PDF version, PDF-generating tool, PDF/A compliance level and version, primary author's position or title, subject/summary, and title. hyperxmp is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 2.9 of hyperxmp improves PDF/A support by providing control over the PDF/A part and conformance ID; embedding IPTC metadata in a more validation-friendly manner; and including even empty author, title, and description metadata when PDF/A is being generated. Thanks to Leonid Sinev for his help with these. In addition, hyperxmp v2.9 lets authors indicate the logical document type (e.g., text or image) in the XMP metadata. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp/ We are supported by the TeX users groups.

Robert Alessi submitted an update to the arabluatex package. Version number: 1.1.1 License type: gpl3 Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides for LuaLaTeX an ArabTeX-like interface to generate Arabic writing from an ascii transliteration. It is particularly well-suited for complex documents such as technical documents or critical editions where a lot of left-to-right commands intertwine with Arabic writing. arabluatex is able to process any ArabTeX input notation. Its output can be set in the same modes of vocalization as ArabTeX, or in different roman transliterations. It further allows many typographical refinements. It will eventually interact with some other packages yet to come to produce from .tex source files, in addition to printed books, TEI xml compliant critical editions and/or lexicons that can be searched, analyzed and correlated in various ways. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/arabluatex More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/arabluatex We are supported by the TeX users groups.

Nicolas Markey submitted the pdfxup package. Version number: 1.30 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Create n-up PDF pages with minimal margins Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- pdfxup is a unix/linux shell script that creates a PDF document where each page is obtained by combining several pages of a PDF file given as output. The important feature of pdfxup, compared to similar programs, is that it tries to compute the (global) bounding box of the input PDF file, in order to remove the margins and to keep the text only. Instead of having the font size divided by 2 (for the case of 2-up output), in some case you may end up with almost the same font size as in the original document (as is the case for a default 'article' document produced by LaTeX). pdfxup uses ghostscript for computing the maximal bounding box of (some of) the pages of the document, and then uses pdflatex (with graphicx package) in order to produce the new document. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/pdfxup More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pdfxup We are supported by the TeX User Groups.
