CTAN update: KOMA-Script
by CTAN Announcements 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

On Tue, 1 Aug 2006, Markus Kohm submitted a new release of the koma-script package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/koma-script Summary description: KOMA-Script is a versatil LaTeX2e bundle License type: lppl Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working environment. After 4 years of development the release of the LaTeX bundle KOMA-Script 2.95b is available now. KOMA-Script 2.95 was tested for month and should be as stable as KOMA-Script 2.9u was. Nevertheless KOMA-Script 2.95 is a new implementation of the features of KOMA-Script 2.9u. Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95b: - ifthispageodd fixed. This fix also fixes inner/outer margin bug of captionbeside and addmargin. - Line breaks at some messages improved to avoid overfull message lines. - Font variable `sectioning' renamed to `disposition'. `sectioning' still may be used as an alias of the new name. Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95a: - addmargin does not longer damage list depth - switching off option tocleft or listleft does not longer result in an error - vertical alignment of caption fixed Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95: - new source base - bugfix at scrlttr2: foldmarks does not depend on type area - bugfix at scrbook: option oneside activates aggedbottom - english manual (scrguien): describes same features like german manual - manuals: optimized to be used on screen (either portrait screen or on 19 landscape screens together with an editor window) - manuals: html index of all commands, options, environments etc. available (see scrguide.html or scrguien.html) - Simple installation by unpacking koma-script-texmf.zip at any TEXMF root directory (see INSTALLD.txt or INSTALL.txt). NOTE: This feature depends on the distribution. Distributions made by the author (see <URL:http://developer.berlios.de/project/filelist.php?group_id=4307>) have this feature. - license: LPPL 1.3b (see lppl-de.txt or lppl.txt) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SplitIndex consists of a LaTeX package, splitidx, and a small program, splitindex. The package may be used to produce one index or several indexes. Without splitindex (for example, using the index package), the number of indexes is limited by the number of TeX's output streams. But using the program you may use even more than 16 indexes: splitidx outputs only a single file jobname.idx and the program splits that file into several raw index files and calls your favorite index processor for each of the files. ----------------------------------------------------------- Main changes at this release: - index{...|format} handling was broken, if hyperref has been used ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

26 Jul '06

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you again for your upload, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: arabi Author's name: Youssef JABRI Location on CTAN: /language/arabic/arabi Summary description: A package toa add support of Arabic and Farsi to (La)-TeX, compliant with BABEL License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Arabi package provides the Arabic script support for TeX without the need of any external pre-processor. The Bi-directional capability supposes that the user has a TEX engine that knows the four primitives eginR, endR, eginL and endL. That is the case of the TeX--XeT and e-TEX engines. Arabi is fully compliant with the BABEL system. This adds one of the last major multilingual typesetting capabilities not yet supported by BABEL. It comes with about 30 GNU Arabic and 10 GNU Farsi good quality fonts and may also use the Arabic fonts of other com- mercial manufacturers. A limited support is already provided to use some widely used Arabic and Farsi fonts that come with such systems. The package is distributed under the LaTeX Project Public License (LPPL), and has the LPPL maintenance status Author-maintained. It can be used freely (including commercially) to produce beautiful texts that mix Arabic, Farsi and Latin (or other type) characters. You can simply type the text you want in 8-bit what you see is what you get text in many input encodings (actually, CP 1256, ISO 8859-6 and Unicode UTF-8 are supported) It can also typeset classical Arabic poetry, and has a limited, but almost good, capability of vocalizing. It is LaTeX2e and BABEL compliant! It has even an experimental module of transliteration! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/language/arabic/arabi .
