New CTAN package: esstix
by CTAN Announcements 06 May '11

06 May '11

On Thu, 5 May 2011 Michael Sharpe submitted the estix package. A submission was uploaded to /home/ftp/incoming/upload-20110504-234125.001/ on dante.ctan.org. Summary description: PostScript versions of the ESSTIX fonts, with virtual fonts a LaTeX support files for use as math alphabets. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- These are the original ESSTIX fonts in PostScript format. They seem to have been a precursor to the STIX project and were donated by Elsevier to that project. The accompanying virtual fonts with customized metrics and LaTeX support files allow their use as calligraphic, fraktur and double-struck (blackboard bold) in math mode. The support files are all LPPL but the fonts themselves are copyrighted by Elsevier, though donated to the STIX project. It is unclear to me if this means they should now be considered as covered by the same SIL Font license under which the STIX fonts were released. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/esstix . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/esstix (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 .

New CTAN package: lualatex-math
by CTAN Announcements 06 May '11

06 May '11

On Thu, 5 May 2011 Philipp Stephani submitted the lualatex-math package. Summary description: Fixes for a few mathematics-related LuaLaTeX issues License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package patches a few commands of the LaTeX 2ε kernel and the amsmath and mathtools packages to be more compatible with the LuaTeX engine. It is only meaningful for LuaLaTeX documents containing mathematical formulas, and does not exhibit any new functionality. The fixes are mostly moved from the unicode-math package to this package since they are not directly related to Unicode mathematics typesetting. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/latex/lualatex-math . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/lualatex-math (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 .

On Wed, 4 May 2011 Michael Sharp submitted the boondox package. Summary description: Math alphabets derived from the STIX fonts License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package contains a number of PostScript fonts derived from the STIX OpenType fonts, that may be used in math mode in regular and bold weights for calligraphic, fraktur and double-struck alphabets. Virtual fonts with metrics suitable for math mode are provided, as are LaTeX support files. The support files as released under the LaTeX Project Public License, but the PostScript fonts, being derived from the STIX fonts, are subject to the SIL Font license. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/boondox .

New CTAN Package: lualatex-platform
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

On Fri, 29 Apr 2011 Philipp Stephani submitted the lualatex-platform package. Summary description: An extension module for platform-specific code useful for LuaTeX License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While often platform-specific problems can be handled purely in Lua, it sometimes happens that access to the native operating system API is required. For such tasks, Lua allows loading extension modules written in C (or other languages provided that they can produce a dynamic library that exports a certain C-style function). The lualatex-platform package aims to provide such an extension module that is usable from both Lua and LuaTeX and adds a small set of features not available otherwise. At the moment, it merely supports listing the fonts known to the operating system; this feature will hopefully be integrated into the luaotfload package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/luatex/contrib/lualatex-platform . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/lualatex-platform (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 .

CTAN Update: systems/luatex reorganisation
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

Recently, the first extension module for luatex was submitted to CTAN. In order to put this in its appropriate location, we decided to move luatex proper from systems/luatex to systems/luatex/base and create a new subtree systems/luatex/contrib (as we have done for other packages).

CTAN Update: bundledoc
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

On Mon, 2 May 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the bundledoc package. Summary description: Bundle together all the files needed to build a LaTeX document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- bundledoc is a post-processor for the snapshot package that bundles together all the classes, packages, and files needed to build a given LaTeX document. It reads the .dep file that snapshot produces, finds each of the files mentioned therein, and archives them into a single .tar.gz (or .zip, or whatever) file, suitable for moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc. As an added bonus, this distribution includes a small script called arlatex. arlatex is a LaTeX-specific archiving program that combines a bunch of files into a single .tex file. When the .tex file is run through latex, all of the original files are recreated and the LaTeX document is built. bundledoc can be easily configured to use arlatex as its archiver in place of tar, zip, etc. Version 3.1 includes a --listdeps option that instructs bundledoc to list all of the document's dependencies, optionally without even producing an archive. (This feature was proposed by Tobias Mueller.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/bundledoc . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/bundledoc (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 .

CTAN Update: hyperxmp
by CTAN Announcements 03 May '11

03 May '11

On Sun, 1 May 2011 Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: title, authors, primary author's title or position, metadata writer, subject, keywords, copyright, and license URL. hyperxmp currently embeds XMP only within PDF documents but is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 1.3 fixes a bug caused by the use of hyperref's unicode option, adds a new pdfmetalang option for specifying the language in which the metadata is written, cleans up some of the code, and updates much of the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp .
