new CTAN package: LJM
by CTAN Announcements 04 Aug '07

04 Aug '07

On Wednesday, 1 August 2007, Jörg Sommer submitted a new package to CTAN: JLM -- Jörg's LaTeX Mode - an advanced LaTeX mode for Jed It should soon be at your favorite mirror. Location on CTAN: /support/jed/jlm Summary description: A LaTeX mode for the JED editor License type: GPL Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JLM is an advanced LaTeX mode for Jed <http://www.jedsoft.org> Its aim is to help the user by taking over annoying and stupid things they need to be done, like add a usepackage when you add a command or environment from this package or put dollar signs around mathematical commands and move the cursor to an appropriate point. JLM does not think for you. If you want a tabular, but insert an itemize, JLM doesn't prevent this. So, you should be familiar with LaTeX and know what environments and commands are and where to place them in a document -- JLM helps writing them. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/support/jed/jlm . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/cgi-bin/ctanPackageInformation.py?id=jlm (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear).

License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can hyperlink DOI numbers to dx.doi.org. However, some publishers have elected to use nasty characters in their DOI numbering scheme (‘<’, ‘>’, ‘_’ and ‘;’ have all been spotted). This will either upset (La)TeX, or your PDF reader.

CTAN Update: pdftex 1.40.4
by CTAN Announcements 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

On Wed, 11 Jul 2007 at 15:51 +0200, Martin Schröder submitted a new version of the pdftex package. Location on CTAN: /systems/pdftex Summary description: A new version of pdftex License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The pdfTeX team is happy to announce the release of a new stable version: =========================================================================== pdfTeX 1.40.4 =========================================================================== This is the announcement of pdfTeX 1.40.4, an extended version of TeX that can create PDF directly from TeX source files and enhance the result of TeX typesetting with the help of PDF. =========================================================================== Main changes of pdfTeX 1.40.4 =========================================================================== - Bugfixes: - It was impossible to set the font Flags to 4 in map entries (762) - The font Flags of non-embedded fonts were wrong (794) Now pdfTeX uses the Flags from map entries (if found) or guesses values for the base14 fonts. It also warns when you not-embedd a font without Flags - Subsetted fonts still had their private UniqueID copied (774) - pdfunescapehex returned a wrong result if the last character was not a hexadecimal digit and the last hex pair was incomplete (777) - Copying a box with pdfstartlink inside produced the same /Link annotation object multiply, with same object number and identical coordinates on the page (799) - When trying to use a font without TFM, without map entry, and no PK font available, a broken PDF was produced. Now no PDF is generated and the error messages have been improved (721) - pdfprimitive was broken (see http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-pdftex/2007-April/002860.html) - The -recorder option of web2c didn't record fonts, included images and some other files (772) - Using pdfximage in IniTeX before dump caused a crash when the format was used (824) - Improvements: - pdf compression is now a bit faster (patch 726) - the behaviour of TeX when it asks for a file name has been improved (756) - pdfTeX uses libpng 1.2.18 - pdfTeX uses xpdf 3.02 For complete release notes see http://www.pdftex.org/NEWS =========================================================================== Legal notice / license =========================================================================== pdfTeX is copyright (c) 1996-2007 Han The Thanh, <thanh(a)pdftex.org> pdfTeX is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. For a complete README (with a full discussion of the license) please look at http://www.pdftex.org/README =========================================================================== The files / installation =========================================================================== You should first try to get a new version of pdfTeX through your distribution.

CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jul '07

04 Jul '07

On Wed, 4 Jul 2007, Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package. The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate Summary description: creating portable PDF animations from graphics files and inline graphics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Today's update adds 3 options: begin={<begin text>} end={<end text>} timeline=<timeline file> The first two are for use with the `animateinline' environment only. <begin text> and <end text> are inserted into the code at start and end of each frame. Mainly used for setting up some drawing environment, such as begin={egin{pspicture}(...)(...)}, end={end{pspicture}}. The third option associates a timeline with the graphical material that has been embedded by animategraphics or `ainmateinline' and provides extended control of the order of appearance, superposition and repetition of the embedded material. It allows to contruct more sophisticated animations and may help to reduce the file size of the resulting PDF. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/animate .

A minor problem with the extsizes package has been reported. Since CTAN has no current address for the designated maintainer, the original author (Wolfgang May) has volunteered to provide a corrected version. The new version is now installed, at Cambridge, and is even now on its progress around the world. Thank you, Prof. May, for the new version. Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

CTAN Update: TeXshade v1.17
by CTAN Announcements 20 Jun '07

20 Jun '07

On Wed, 20 Jun 2007 at 16:16 +0200, Eric Beitz submitted an update to the texshade package. TeXshade is an alignment shading software completely written in TeX/LaTeX which can process multiple sequence alignments in the .MSF and the .ALN file format. It provides in addition to common shading algorithms special shading modes featuring functional aspects, e.g. charge or hydropathy, and a plenitude of commands for handling shading colours, text styles, labels, legends and even allows the user to define completely new shading modes. TeXshade combines highest flexibility and the habitual TeX output quality-with reasonable time expenditure. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/texshade/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This TeXshade update introduces to new groups of commands to the DNA and protein sequence alignment LaTeX package which allow one a) to set a second threshold percentage for labeling two levels of sequence conservation, i.e. `allmatchspecial' becomes more flexible, and b) to put describing names left or right from feature lines and individually change their color and font styles. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/texshade . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=texshade (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 .
