17 Sep '11

On Wed, 14 Sep 2011 Martin Scharrer submitted the ifoddpage package. Summary description: page-is-odd-or-even conditionals License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This LaTeX package provides a ifoddpage conditional to determine if the current page is odd or even. The macro checkoddpage must be used direct before to check the page number using a label. Two compiler runs are therefore required to achieve correct results. In addition the conditional ifoddpageoronside is provided which is also true in oneside mode where all pages use the odd page layout. This package got inspired from the 'changepage' package which provides (and uses) the same macros (checkoddpage and ifoddpage) for its main function of changing the page design mid-way in the document. Both packages can be used together, but the 'ifoddpage' should be loaded last in this case, otherwise the ifoddpageoroneside conditional will stop working. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ifoddpage .

On Thu, 15 Sep 2011 Pavel Farar submitted an update to the dejavu package. Summary description: LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains LaTeX support for the fonts DejaVu. Changes: - Added extra kerning pairs between the Greek accents and the capital Greek letters for the serif and sans serif families (the monospaced family left unchanged). The kerning values are generated from the fonts (sfd files) and the combination accent + letter should give the same relative position of accent and letter as in the precomposed accented capital Greek letters. Most kerning values are big negative, but there are also several small positive values. - Small changes in the LGR encoding: uni1FBD replaced by uni1FBF and grave replaced by uni1FEF. They have exactly the same glyph, but are more consistent with the Greek alphabet. These should be user invisible changes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/dejavu .
