by CTAN Announcements 01 Jun '11

01 Jun '11

On Tue, 31 May 2011 Uwe Lück submitted an update to the ifnextok package. Summary description: make commands not skipping spaces License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.2 provides MakeNotSkipping<target>{<on-space>} modifying a given document-level command <target>, based on IfNextSpace{<if>}{<else>}, actually addressing what the abstract of ifnextok.pdf has promised so far (including active double quote); maybe rather showing problems than being practically useful (as opposed to package options useful for end-users) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ifnextok .

On Fri, 27 May 2011 John Bowman submitted an update to the asymptote package. Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-aware vector graphics language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PRC vertex-shading for straight patches was implemented. A general image routine that uses a pen function of two INT parameters was implemented. A 3D pixel routine was added. A temporary expression is now used to avoid side effects in self operators. Keyword-only function arguments were implemented. The sizing routines were recoded. Bugs in drawline and geometry were fixed. The geometry module no longer overloads the built-in circle and ellipse functions. PDF TeX engines are now supported in xasy. Directory prefixes are no longer stripped from .js and .prc file names. The TeXShop instructions were updated. The asymptote.sty LaTeX style file was updated to allow leading spaces before end{asy} and to introduce a keepAspect keyval option. Segmentation faults were fixed. Unwanted state-dependency was removed from the startTrembling function of the contributed trembling module by introducing a tremble structure (backwards incompatible change); see the example floatingdis! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/asymptote . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/asymptote (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 .
