31 May '12

On Wed, 30 May 2012 John Bowman submitted an update to the asymptote package. License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ticks are no longer autoscaled when the number of major intervals is specified and autoscale is false. Manual tick scaling was fixed. A bug in the palette range was fixed. A division by zero in constructing curved arrows was fixed. A numerical underflow was fixed. A picture bound error was fixed. The current value of currentpen is now always respected in default arguments. A default viewportwidth is no longer imposed for attached images. A routine for computing camera positions was added. The format command is now more consistent with C++ printf formatting. Named arguments can now appear in function calls after rest arguments. The wheel example was improved to support PDF animations. The erase command no longer resets the machine state. Pipes are now used for xasy communication. A new mode parameter to input and output replaces xinput, xoutput, binput, and boutput. The icon directory path for 64-bit MSWindows systems was fixed. Compilation of native CYGWIN binaries is now supported. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote .

Summary description: experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ## English This package provides experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language, covering traditional and reformed orthography for several varieties of Standard German. The patterns can be used with packages Babel and hyphsubst from the Oberdiek bundle. ## Deutsch Dieses Paket enthält experimentelle Trennmuster für die deutsche Sprache. Die Trennmuster decken das in Deutschland, Österreich und der Schweiz gebräuchliche Standarddeutsch in der traditionellen und reformierten Rechtschreibung ab und können mit den Paketen Babel und hyphsubst aus dem Oberdiek-Bündel verwendet werden. ## v0.23 (2012-05-30) #### Wortdatenbank Rechtschreibung hinzugefügt entfernt korrigiert --------------------------------------------------------------- traditionell (DE, AT) 44 93 166 traditionell (CH) 44 93 161 reformiert 45 56 67 * _traditionelle Rechtschreibung (DE, AT, CH):_ Greift an einer Wortfuge die Dreikonsonantenregel, so wird die folgende Trennstelle grundsätzlich unterdrückt, sofern sie einen Abstand von nur zwei Lauten hat. Beispiele: Metallegierung => Me-tallegie-rung Stilleben => Stilleben Aber: Brennessel => Brennes-sel Stoffetzen => Stoffet-zen #### Paket * Wenn pTeX verwendet wird, werden nun kompatible Trennmuster aus dem Paket `hyph-utf8` geladen. (Das Paket `hyph-utf8` verwendet die Trennmuster dieses Pakets. Es kann sich dabei jedoch um eine andere Version der Muster handeln.) * Die Dateien `projektbeschreibung.*` wurden entfernt.

CTAN Update: morehype
by CTAN Announcements 30 May '12

30 May '12

On Wed, 30 May 2012, Uwe Lück submitted an update to the morehype package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MAJOR CHANGES: - The pure expansion limitation for the `blog.sty' way to HTML is overcome by intercepting certain commands such as EXECUTE, egin, and end (configurable). So you can introduce shorthand macros specific for a certain web page within its source `.tex' file, or even limited to an environment. And environment nesting is checked! And we introduce certain nice active characters for an intuitive table syntax. - We also use intercepting to support ligatures (`--', `---', `...', ...) and some Wikipedia and Markdown markup (font switching, highlighting by colours, Wikipedia links). Parsing can be enabled within macro arguments by modifying the two backbone macros that implement short HTML elements. This way, `blog.sty' becomes fun (but also slow ...) ... - A kind of minimalist multilanguage approach based on languages codes and the `dowith' package for adjusting language-dependent settings is used. Unfortunately, this upload is somewhat hasty, in order to provide the files generating `latexfileinfo_pkgs.htm' (`latexfileinfo-pkgs'). Some of the powerful code must later move from the patch file `texblog.fdf' into proper packages and be documented better. MINOR CHANGES: - `atari_ht.fdf' replaces `atari.fdf' to use HTML entities for umlauts instead of relying on the encoding declaration - `blog.sty' accesses some more characters than before - `texlinks.sty' uses langcode for Wiki... + minor additions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/morehype .

On Sun, 20 May 2012, Zdeněk Wagner submitted an update to the zwpagelayout package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package was developed as a typographers toolbox offering the most important features for everyday work. First it allows setting the paper size as well as the page layout. The next important feature is the ability of printing crop marks both with TeX + dvips or (x)dvipdfm(x) and with pdfTeX. Finally it is possible to reflect pages both horizontally and vertically. Partial PDF/X conformance is implemented and black overprint is enabled in pdfTeX, dvips, as well as (x)dvipdfm(x) drivers, i.e in XeLaTeX. Version 1.4a is a bug fix, an infinite loop occured if a user requested nonexistent page style (e.g. as a result of a misprint). Version 1.4 implements black overprint for (x)dvipdfm(x) family of drivers, i.e. it now works also with XeLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/zwpagelayout .
