The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: purifyeps Version number: 1.1 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /support/purifyeps Summary description: Make EPS work with both LaTeX/dvips and pdfLaTeX. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While pdfLaTeX has a number of nice features, its primary shortcoming relative to standard LaTeX+dvips is that it is unable to read ordinary Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, the most common graphics format in the LaTeX world. purifyeps converts EPS files into a purified form that can be read by *both* LaTeX+dvips and pdfLaTeX. The trick is that the standard LaTeX2e graphics packages can parse MetaPost-produced EPS directly. Hence, purifyeps need only convert an arbitrary EPS file into the same stylized format that MetaPost outputs. Version 1.1 includes two helpful changes. First, in response to a discussion on the tex-live mailing list, the program now issues a more user-friendly error message if pstoedit (a support tool required by purifyeps) is not found on the search path. Second, purifyeps incorporates a patch provided by Markus Kohm to search for pstoedit's mpost.fmp file in a standard set of directories. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/purifyeps .

CTAN new package: fileinfo
by CTAN Announcements 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

This should be at your local mirror. Thank you again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/fileinfo Caption: get file infos without loading; listfiles -- mine only Description: 'readprov.sty' renders GetFileInfo from LaTeX's 'doc.sty' (without the latter being reqired), as well as new robust (expandable) variants of it, usable with files that are not really loaded (they are quit when their file info is found). So, e.g., you can describe packages that are incompatible with each other or with packages that your document uses. You even can report about various class files. Such files also enter listfiles. [related package: zwgetfdate] 'myfilist.sty' uses this so listfiles need not show files that were used, rather just files you want to know about. In a TeX script, you can choose some files and their order. Their names can be output into a plain text file with their dates, version ids, and one-line descriptions, formatted in the way listfiles does it after a LaTeX run. This way you can get an overview of, e.g., some package bundle ...

Quoi d'neuf : - Amélioration de definesubmol qui accepte les séquences de contrôle. On peut aussi choisir un alias dont la substitution est différente selon l'orientation de la liaison qui lui arrive dessus. - Le caractère | force la fin d'un atome. Si on écrit D|ef alors, chemfig verra deux atomes D et ef. - Le caractère # est reconnu lorsqu'il suit un caractère de liaison. Il doit être suivi d'un argument entre parenthèses qui contient l'offset de début et de fin qui s'appliqueront à cette liaison. - La macro chemfig admet un argument optionnel qui sera passé à l'environnement tikzpicture dans lequel elle est dessinée. - Mise en place de la représentation des mécanismes réactionnels avec la synatxe @{<nom>} devant un atome ou @{<nom>,<coeff>} au tout début de l'argument d'une liaison. Cette syntaxe permet de placer un nœud (au sens de tikz) qui deviendra l'extrémité des flèches des mécanismes. Le tracé des flèches est faite par la macro chemmove dont l'argument optionnel devient celui de l'environnement tikspicture dans lequel sont faites les flèches. - Pour le mécanisme d'alignement vertical via le vphantom, la commande chemskipalign permet d'ignorer le groupe d'atomes dans lequel elle est écrite. - La commande chemname permet d'afficher un nom sous une molécule. la commande chemnameinit initialise la plus grande profondeur rencontrée. - La commande lewis a été modifiée de telle sorte que les dessins des décorations soient proportionnels à la taille de la police. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/chemfig .

CTAN update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 22 Nov '10

22 Nov '10

This should be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College ...................................................................................... Update summary: Version 1.3b This version of biblatex-dw was tested against biblatex 1.0, but it should also work with versions from biblatex 0.9d. The following changes were made to biblatex-dw: - BUGFIX: Using pagetotal=false and citepages=separate, the herename was printed as soon as the pagetotal field was present (although the pagetotal field itself was not printed). This is now fixed, and the citepages option pays attention to the pagetotal option. - In order to match as closely as possible to biblatex itself, the citenamepunct command was renamed to ametitledelim. For compatibility reasons with earlier versions of biblatex-dw, the citenamepunct was kept. Thus, it does not matter if you redefine ametitledelim or citenamepunct, the effect will be the same; but note that the citenamepunct may be dropped in later versions of biblatex-dw. - In full citations ametitledelim is used instead of labelnamepunct. - Improvements regarding idem functionality in combination with xref=true. - Improved the documentation. Basic package information, as sent by the contributor. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Location: /macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw Caption: Humanities styles for biblatex. Description: A small collection of styles for the biblatex package. It was designed for citations in the humanities and offers some features that are not provided by the standard biblatex styles.

CTAN has a new package: acroterm
by CTAN Announcements 20 Nov '10

20 Nov '10

This should be at your local mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .................................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: acroterm Version number: 0.1 Author's name: Jakob Voss Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/acroterm Summary description: Manage and index acronyms and terms License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- acroterm is yet another package for acronyms. The packages acronym, acromake, glosstex, and glossary just did not fit my use case: simple markup of acronyms and technical terms in the text, resulting in an index of terms and an index of acronyms with expanded form. See README for a short description, acroterm.pdf for the manual, and https://github.com/nichtich/acroterm for the latest development version. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/acroterm . Information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/acroterm (it may take a day for the information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
