CTAN update: UK TeX FAQ v3.20
by CTAN Announcements 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

i have installed a new version of the uk tex faq on ctan, and updated the version presented by http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq existing advertised faq links should continue to work. (note that there are no guarantees for links that use the long-abandoned question number form.) the major change in this version of the faq is that the package links (from the bottom of faq answer pages) now use mirror.ctan.org, rather than using www.tex.ac.uk exclusively. other changes are listed in the file help/uk-tex-faq/CHANGES-3.20 on any ctan node. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/uk-tex-faq.html or browse the package's directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/uk-tex-faq/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

Re: cam.ctan.org upload: xfrac
by CTAN Announcements 16 Aug '10

16 Aug '10

a pre-tester of tex live 2010 noticed that it was holding an older version of xfrac than was last announced. after some investigation, the problem was identified, and the daemon was asked to say: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: xfrac > Author's name: Joseph Wright > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mh > Summary description: Split-level fractions in LaTeX2e > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > [This upload restores v0.3, which I uploaded last year and then > accidentally got overwritten by other mh changes.

CTAN Update: pdfcomment
by CTAN Announcements 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

On Sun, 15 Aug 2010 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the pdfcomment package. Summary description: A user-friendly interface to PDF annotations License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For a long time pdflatex has offered the command pdfannot for inserting arbitrary PDF annotations. However, the command is presented in a form where additional knowledge of the definition of the PDF format is indispensable. This package is an answer to the – occasional – questions in newsgroups, about how one could use the comment function of Adobe Reader. At least for the writer of LaTeX code, the package offers a convenient and user-friendly means of using pdfannot to provide comments in PDF files. Since version v1.1, pdfcomment.sty also supports: LaTeX -> dvips -> ps2pdf, LaTeX -> dvipdfmx and XeLaTeX. Unfortunately, support of PDF annotations by PDF viewers is sparse to nonexistent. The reference viewer for the development of this package is Adobe Reader. License: LPPL Changes in v1.6: - added support for using pdfmarkupcomment in math mode (see: example_math_markup.pdf) feature request by: Ross Moore (he also contributed ideas and code) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/pdfcomment . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=pdfcomment (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 .

tex.ac.uk power cuts
by CTAN Announcements 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

tex.ac.uk has at least one power cut scheduled on monday 2010-08-16 (installing power-monitoring equipment to help us keep on the green straight and narrow). the cut(s) is/are likely to occur at some stage in the morning (cambridge time, GMT +0100); as system manager, please accept my apologies in advance. ironically, the laboratory has suffered 4 unscheduled power cuts in the last 48 hours; the reason is unclear -- my apologies for this too.
