04 Dec '11

i was out eating at my son's place, when the daemon reported: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: amiri-font > Author's name: Khaled Hosny > Package version: 0.1 > Location on CTAN: fonts/amiri/ > Summary description: Amiri is a classical Arabic typeface, Naskh > style, for typesetting books and other runÂning text. > License type: ofl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This is a beta release in the sense that I retain the right to do any > metric incompatible changes in the future, other than that the font is > largely usable.

by CTAN Announcements 04 Dec '11

04 Dec '11

the daemon tells me, as my wife experiments with playing her compositions into sibelius (i can't persuade her to use musixtex, for some reason...): > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: siunitx > Author's name: Joseph Wright > Package version: v2.4a > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/siunitx/ > Summary description: A comprehensive (SI) units package > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > v2.4a: > - Better handling of options reset at start of document > - Better use of UTF-8 symbols where appropriate thanks for the upload; i've installed the revised version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/siunitx.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/siunitx/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

CTAN package update: interpreter
by CTAN Announcements 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

and, in rapid succession, the daemon tells me: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: interpreter > Author's name: Paul Isambert > Package version: 1.1 > Location on CTAN: macros/luatex/generic/ > Summary description: Translates input files on the fly. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Interpreter has been rewritten with the Gates package (Lua version); > this doesn't change anything for basic usage, but now the code can be > modified easily to anybody's whim. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/interpreter.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/luatex/generic/interpreter The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

New CTAN package: gates
by CTAN Announcements 03 Dec '11

03 Dec '11

the jolly old daemon doesn't suffer from colds, like me... > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: gates > Author's name: Paul Isambert > Package version: 0.1 > Location on CTAN: macros/generic/ > Summary description: Implementing modular and customizable code. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Gates is designed to write code in a modular fashion: big macros or > functions are divided into small chunks (called gates) with names, > which can be externally controlled (e.g. they can be disabled, > subjected to conditionals, loops...) and/or augmented with new chunks. > > Thus complex code can be easily customized without having to rewrite > it, or even understand its implementation: the behavior of existing > gates can be modified, and new ones can be added, without endangering > the whole design. This allows code to be hacked in ways the original > authors might have never envisioned. > > Gates is implemented independantly for both TeX and Lua. The TeX > implementation requires the texapi package, whereas the Lua version > can be run with any Lua interpreter, not just LuaTeX. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and created an entry in the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/gates.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/generic/gates/ The catalogue entry will first appear on the web some time overnight tonight.

by CTAN Announcements 01 Dec '11

01 Dec '11

the daemon cries (so that even my deaf ears hear it): > Name of contribution: latexmk > Author's name: John Collins > Package version: 4.28c > Location on CTAN: support/latexmk/ > Summary description: Fully automated LaTeX document generation routine > License type: gpl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > 1.

Latexmk now parses correctly error messages from biber v. 0.9.7. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/latexmk.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/support/latexmk/ The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
