On Fri, 13 Jul 2012 Vafa Khalighi submitted the showcharinbox package. Summary description: Show characters inside a box License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package typesets a character inside a box, showing where reference point is. It also displays width, height, and depth information of the character. This produces the output like the one in page 63 of The TeXBook or page 101 of The METAFONTbook. The package is motivated by Knuth macros in file manmac.tex. Please note that using this package means that you should put a character in large size inside a box and putting small size of a character inside the box does not make any sense. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/showcharinbox . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/showcharinbox (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN and the TeX Directory Structure
by CTAN Announcements 12 Jul '12

12 Jul '12

* TDS layout on CTAN: the problem. CTAN was developed as a means of unifying access to TeX-related material; in pre-CTAN days, packages to use with TeX were dotted on ftp sites around the net, according to the whim of the sites' maintainers. To find a file, you prowled the mailing lists and news groups until someone mentioned the file. CTAN, therefore, provides uniform access to a range of files, and those files may be found at the same place on any conforming CTAN site or mirror. The structure of the directory tree on a CTAN site is designed to ease browsing: packages form the leaf nodes of the tree (either as single files or as directories containing several files). The big distributions can be viewed, in this sense, as packages. Above all, the interested user can browse the tree to find out what CTAN offers. Methods of access have changed, too; CTAN sites originally offered no more than FTP access. Today's archives offer web access as well (and rsync access for mirrors), and the CTAN team and its helpers provide many other related services, including a catalogue, an index of packages by topic (i.e., by subject and usage areas). However, CTAN remains careful not to lose sight of a vital part of its original brief: an archive that users may browse. Separately from the development of CTAN, a TUG working group defined the TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which makes possible TeX systems that offer efficient access to huge numbers of TeX-related files, in an efficient way. Most (if not all) modern TeX distributions lay out files in TDS-compiant way; but constructing a TDS-compliant form of a package is not trivial. How, then, is the user to decide where to put files of a new package? An obvious solution is to provide packages on the archive laid out according to TDS format. Unfortunately, this conflicts with the requirement that people may browse CTAN; TDS layout could have been designed to discourage people from browsing -- it is typically dominated by directories whose only contents are links to other directories. * The CTAN team's solution The CTAN team have decided that packages on the archive shall remain in a browsing-friendly layout. In parallel, a new install tree has been created. The install tree's structure parallels those of the main trees: for any package foo/bar/baz/... on the main tree foo, a TDS-structured ZIP file would be found at install/foo/bar/baz.tds.zip which may be used to update a TeX system. The CTAN team will check that baz.tds.zip correctly covers the package material, when each version of baz is uploaded. The check is not guaranteed to spot every problem, but it detects gross errors (such as updating a file zot.tex in the main tree, but not updating the copy in baz.tds.zip) Note that, in most cases, the usefulness of the .tds.zip is transitory: most modern distributions provide most (free) packages, so that after a day or so, a new (version of a) package will be available via the distribution's update mechanism. * Anomalies. Overall, banishing TDS-format layouts remains our aim, but we can't possibly claim that the policy has always been applied as we would like. All over the archive there are packages that are variously wrong (by our reckoning above). We shall not be correcting these packages, unless new versions are uploaded, or some other imperative arises. Another (inevitable) anomaly is the TeX distributions. CTAN archives provide a repository from which users load a distribution, and which supplies updates as parts of the distribution are upgraded. We do not expect to improve the distributions' layout (that is, any change will come from the distribution managers). The CTAN Team (What is left of it)

CTAN Update: mf2pt1
by CTAN Announcements 03 Jul '12

03 Jul '12

On Mon, 2 Jul 2012 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the mf2pt1 package. Summary description: Produce PostScript Type 1 fonts from Metafont source. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mf2pt1 facilitates producing PostScript Type 1 fonts from a Metafont source file. mf2pt1's advantage over tools such as TeXtrace and mftrace is that it does not rely on bitmap tracing and therefore can produce higher-quality Type 1 fonts than trace-based tools. The catch is that mf2pt1 imposes a number of restrictions on the Metafont input so it is not, as the name may imply, an automatic converter of arbitrary Metafont fonts to Type 1 format. Version 2.5 fixes a pair of bugs that led to glyph widths being slightly larger than intended. Thanks to Michael Ummels for the corrections. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/mf2pt1 .

CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 28 Jun '12

28 Jun '12

On Thu, 28 Jun 2012 Dominik Waßenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.5 This version of biblatex-dw was tested with biblatex 1.7. - BUGFIX: The functionality of ibidpage=true was broken. This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: With edbyidem=true (and xref=false), the first citation of an @inbook entry where author and editor are the same, but the bookauthor differs resulted in ed. by idem, which is wrong. This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: With edbyidem=false, the book author of @inbook entries was not typeset in the appropriate format. This could lead to a wrong output (e.g. Lastname, Firstname instead of Firstname Lastname). This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: With @inreference entries, the output could be inconsistent with regard to the volume(s). This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: Changes in font size for annotationfont and libraryfont led to a wrong baselineskip. This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: There was a small bug in @collection entries concerning the punctuation after the labelname. This should be fixed now. - BUGFIX: With shorthandinbib=true the labelnamepunct was printed when there was no author or editor present. This lead to superfluous punctuation and is now fixed. - BUGFIX: In some circumstances the final period of the bibliography items (finentry) was not printed. This is now fixed. - In authortitle-dw, the extcite command now also considers the value of the firstfull option. That means, if a work is cited for the first time via a extcite command, the result would be <Name> (<full citation>). - New option citeauthor which can take the values namefont, namefontfoot and normalfont. This option controls the name format for the citeauthor command. With citeauthor=namefont the same format as set by the option namefont is used. This is the default behaviour. With citeauthor=normalfont the normal font is always used for citeauthor, regardless of the namefont option. With citeauthor=namefontfoot the namefont format is used if the citeauthor command is inside a footnote, otherwise the normal font is used. - The list of shorthands with option terselos=true is now even more terse: the [main]subtitle and [main]titleaddon fields are now also omitted. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw/ .
