11 Apr '10

On Sun, 11 Apr 2010 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the svn-prov package. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This version allows the version number and description to be stated in two optional argument instead in one. This simplifies DTX files which extract several style files. A new macro filetoday is provided which print filedate in the format of oday. For this the oday macro is required (otherwise filetoday simply return '?') and might be defined using the babel package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/svn-prov/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/svn-prov (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 Has a new package: currfile

This should within a day be at your local mirror. Jim Hef{}feron Saint Michael's College .............................................................................. The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: currfile Version number: v0.1 Author's name: Martin Scharrer Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/currfile Summary description: Macros for file name and path of input files License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides macros holding the file name information (dir, base name, extension, full name and full path) for files read by LaTeX's input and include macros. It uses the file hooks provided by the 'filehook' package. The package is similar to the 'fink' package, but uses a different implementation (a stack) and takes care to restore the parent file name after the trailing clearpage of an include'd file. This allows the usage of the macros on the page header and footer of the last page of such files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/currfile .
