Summary description: Drawing with PDF commands in pdfLaTeX documents

The package provides the means to use PDF drawing primitives to produce high
quality, colored graphics. It
- uses Bézier curves (integral and rational) from degree one to seven,
- allows TeX typesetting in the graphic,
- offers most of the standard math functions,
- allows plotting normal, parametric and polar functions.
The package has linear, logx, logy, logxy and polar grids with many specs;
- it can rotate, clip and do many nice things easily
- it has two looping commands for programming and many instructive example files.
The package requires pdfTeX but otherwise only depends on the calc package.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A new raw macro file `twocolpg.sty' provides macros for
the web page style with a navigation column at the left of a
main content column with spanning header and footer -
towards a content management system for TeX addicts?
Templates (`demo') are provided, see Section `Examples' in
`blog.pdf'.
`blog.sty' v0.5 has many more macros than v0.41, mainly
for symbols. Accented letters are near to complete, Greek
letters are complete. Documentation has been improved at
some places. I realized that ` ' allows line breaks
and therefore redefined hinspace and ,, but this may be
difficult with certain browsers.
`texlinks.sty' v0.4 adds HTTPS, references to CTAN
announcements, and references to the LaTeX Wikibook.
Wikipedia macros and parts of documentation have been
reworked.
For details, always see the end of the .sty files.
Throughout, the acro macro (known from TUGboat macros)
has been applied to the documentations.
Moreover, the sample file `atari.fdf' for a little encoding
conversion has moved to the nicetext bundle, and the macro
it defines now is TextCodes instead of AtariCodes.

rviewport
package.
Summary description: Relative Viewport for Graphics Inclusion
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Package graphicx provides a useful keyword viewport which allows to
show just a part of an image. However, one needs to put there the
actual coordinates of the viewport window. Sometimes it is useful to
have relative coordinates as fractions of natural size. For example,
one may want to print a large image on a spread, putting a half on a
verso page, and another half on the next recto page. For this one
would need a viewport occupying exactly one half of the file's
bounding box, whatever the actual width of the image may be.
This package adds a new keyword rviewport to the graphicx package
specifiying Relative Viewport for graphics inclusion: a window defined
by the given fractions of the natural width and height of the image.

On Thu, 25 Aug 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. They are derived
from the Vera fonts and contain more characters and styles.
Changes:
- Added the QX encoding (requested by Mojca Miklavec).
- Added the LGR encoding (it may be usable as it is, but
I think that it needs an improvement--see the
documentation).
- I moved the documentation of the fonts to its own subdirectory.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package is located at
http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts
