Thank you, Jim Hef{}feron ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCTOOLS bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ncctools Summary description: Release 3.5 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the significant release of the bundle. The bug in the nccthm package that occasionally appears in the previous release was fixed. The addtopackage package introduced in the previous release and its AddToPackage command are renamed to afterpackage and AfterPackage respectively. New names more exactly reflect the meaning of the package. I did it because the package is a new enough and I think it is used rarely yet. In nccfloats package, the syntax of FloatStyle is expanded with optional float-type parameter. Float styles are applied now to the base floating environment also. The generic ewminifloat command is introduced. In nccsect package, SetTOCStyle and ChapterPrefixStyle commands are introduced. They are moved from ncclatex bundle. Section style creation commands ewhangsectionstyle and ewplainsectionstyle are introduced. They essentially improve the possibility of making new section styles such as sections with marginal section numbers, flushed right section headers and many others. The 'centerlast' section style is introduced. The customization of section and caption tag suffices is now allowed with sectiontagsuffix and captiontagsuffix commands. Margins of display sections can be adjusted using the adjustsectionmargins command. Compatibility with xtab package is added. Caption width can now exceed a line width. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncctools .

CTAN package update: NCCLATEX
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

The package described below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should be at your favorite mirror soon. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ===================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCLATEX bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ncclatex Summary description: Release 1.4 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the major release of the bundle having many improvements. It requires the `ncctools' bundle of release 3.4. Seven new packages are introduced. Other packages and the `ncc' class are revised. The new `nccdefaults' package sets defaults for some packages from the `ncctools' bundle in correspondence with Russian polygraph. It does this without loading of packages to be modified via the AddToPackage hook. The new `ncctheorems' package specifies 8 theorem-like environments in 3 variants that were early specified in the `ncclatex' package. The same AddToPackage technique is used here. So, all these environments will be declared after the `nccthm' package is loaded. The new `nccbiblist' package introduces the biblist environment and redefines the thebibliography environment. The new `ncctitlepage' package redefines the titlepage environment in NCC-style and introduces the titlepage* environment. It also applies auto-restoration of the text area if it was changed inside these environments with the ExpandTextArea command of the `textarea' package from the `ncctools' bundle. The new `ncctitle' package is renamed from the `ncctitle.clo' file. It is made independent on the `ncc' class and can be used together with other classes. This package introduces commands for preparing a book title, abstract, and last page in rules of Russian polygraphy. The new `nccheadings' package contains definition of `headings' and `myheadings' page styles in NCC-style. The new `nccsections' package applies a customization to sectioning technique of the `nccsect' package from the `ncctools' bundle. Six customization options are allowed now with this package: newsecstyle (separate styles for a number and a text in section declaration commands), newtocstyle (separate styles for a number and a text in TOC declaration commands), chapterinline (chapter tag in line with text), chaptersection (the same as previous but no Chapter/Appendix prefix), partinline (part tag in line with text), partsection (the same as previous but no Part prefix). The `ncchdr' and `nccindex' packages are now independent on the `ncc' class. They can be used together with other classes. In the `ncclatex' package, the `minimize' option is introduced. With this option only required packages are loaded when the `ncclatex' package is used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ncclatex .

CTAN package update: NCCTOOLS
by CTAN Announcements 04 Jan '06

04 Jan '06

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: NCCTOOLS bundle Author's name: Alexander I Rozhenko Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ncctools Summary description: Release 3.4 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the major release of the bundle having many improvements. Three new packages are introduced and the `nccsect' package is essentially improved. The most interest package is the `addtopackage'. It introduces the AddToPackage command applying commands after a specified package is loaded. Using it, you can specify patches, additions, and other staff that will be executed right after the respective package is loaded (or at the point where this command is applied if the respective package is already loaded). The new `topsection' package introduces the opsection command which can be used to prepare headings for standard environments such as the bibliography, table of contents, index etc. It automatically selects the respective sectioning command to prepare a heading and updates headers. This command is compatible with standard LaTeX classes and with ncc-based classes. The new `textarea' package introduces the ExpandTextArea command and related staff. This command expands the text area on headers, footers, or margins by changing page layout parameters. The RestoreTextArea command restores the original page layout parameters. In addition, the StartFromTextArea and StratFromHeaderArea commands are specified here. In the `nccsect' package, the sectionstyle declaration can be now applied to particular section levels. The aftersectionvspace allows change the vertical space skipped after a display section.

06 Dec '05

On Tue, 6 Dec 2005, Hendri Adriaens submitted an update to the powerdot package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/powerdot/distrib License: LPPL Powerdot is a presentation class for LaTeX that allows for the quick and easy development of professional presentations. It comes with many tools that enhance presentations and aid the presenter. Examples are automatic overlays, personal notes and a handout mode. To view a presentation, DVI, PS or PDF output can be used. A powerful template system is available to easily develop new styles. A LyX layout file is provided. > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > powerdot v1.3: > > We added a lot of new styles and features to the class. Some of the > most prominent new features are: > > 1) palettes: change the color setup of a style easily. Almost all > styles have been equiped with several different palettes so you can > change the presentation according to your mood of the day without > changing the overall design. And if you don't like the predefined > palettes, you can easily define one yourself in the preamble of your > presentation and use that. > > 2) slide processing methods: we have added two slide processing > methods that make it a lot easier to include verbatim material (like > listings) on slides. > > 3) clock: you can have a running digital clock on slides so that you > can easily keep track of time during the presentation. > > 4) random dots: this is a feature that can be used to make every > presentation a little bit different. It places random dots, circles or > squares or other shapes on slides. Colors from the color palettes will > be used to color the dots and a lot of parameters can be adjusted > according to your wishes: the maximum size of the dots, the area to > use for the dots, the brightness, etcetera. > > Below is a full list of changes: > > Added horatio, paintings, klope, jefka and pazik styles > Added clock feature > Added examples and example file > Added logo feature > Added optional argument to maketitle > Added palettes feature > Added palettes to default, fyma and sailor styles > Added possibility to create horizontal table of contents > Added randomdots feature > Added two slide processing methods to do verbatim on slides easily > Cleaned up options > Improved figure and table handling > Revised docs > Solved some small bugs > Updated all styles > Updated LYX example and information _______________________________________________ Thanks for the upload.
