CTAN Update: chemnum
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '14

13 Mar '14

Clemens Niederberger submitted an update to the chemnum package. Version number: 1.0 License type: lppl Summary description: A method of numbering chemical compounds Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is version 1.0 of chemnum. For this update the package has been rewritten from scratch. There are various changes some of which will break existing documents. (I have struggled with this decision for a while but then chemnum /has/ been in an experimental stage before, so...). While the new version undoubtedly has new bugs its syntax won't change anymore. So at least from the perspective of a user v1.0 is supposed to be stable :) Some of the changes have already been announced here: http://www.mychemistry.eu/2014/01/chemnum-v1-0-release-candidate/ For all changes please refer to the package manual. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/chemnum/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/chemnum We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Clea F. Rees submitted an update to the cfr-lm package.

More specifically, defines aliases for all roman and sans families, including quotation sans, which should load the settings defined for Computer Modern Roman. This follows the config for Latin Modern as far as roman is concerned. It extends the support so far as sans is concerned in accordance with the discussion at http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/75440/39222. I'm not sure I've done this correctly but I don't think it should break anything. (That is, I don't think the results will be worse than with version 1.3 and hope they will be better.) Should stuff break, the relevant code is in a block at the end of cfr-lm.sty so that it can be easily disabled. Should you find this fact to your advantage, do please let me know. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/cfr-lm/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cfr-lm We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: pgf / TikZ
by CTAN Announcements 27 Feb '14

27 Feb '14

Till Tantau submitted an update to the pgf / TikZ package. Version number: 3.0.0 License type: Dual: LPPL and alternatively GPL/GFDL Summary description: A graphics language for TeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am happy to announce version 3.0.0 of TikZ/pgf. After several years of development work in the background, a new version is finally ready. With the big jump in the version number from 2.10 to 3.0.0 a lot of new stuff has been added to TikZ (since the last version, over a thousand lines have been added to the change log...). However, care was taken to make sure that in normal circumstances all old code will still produce the exact same results as it used to. It is impossible to list all the changes and improvements, so let me just point out some hilights: - Arrow Tips: You can now configure the appearance of arrow tip to death and do so on the fly. Arbitrary arrow tips will now even bend along curves since TikZ can now do curvilinear transformations on a very low level. - Syntax Improvements: A lot of small things have been added and improved in the syntax. For instance, nodes can be in front of paths, but now also behind them. There is the new notion of a small picture called a pic, which is something of a mixture of a node and a picture. - A Syntax for Graphs: There is now a new simple syntax for specifying graphs, borrowed from the GraphViz program. It makes it easy to specify graphs and especially trees in a convenient manner. - Graph Drawing Algorithms: TikZ now comes with a large and powerful system for computing the positions of nodes of graphs automatically (you need LuaTeX for this, though). - Data Visualization: There is now an alternative to pgfplots as part of the standard TikZ installation for creating plots. While pgfplots is still the more mature system, the new data visualization system comes with some interesting new ideas. - Driver Support: Support for all mayor backend drivers has been improved. A new, cool thing is the support for dvisvgm, which allows you to create powerful SVG graphics directly from TeX, including the text. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
