The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: Asymptote Author's name: Andy Hammerlindl and John Bowman Location on CTAN: / Summary description: 2D & 3D TeX-Aware Vector Graphics Language License type: lgpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The perp vector calculation in the solids module was fixed. A bug in the mouse motion functions was fixed. A pan action (which differs from shift due to perspective distortion) was added to the OpenGl renderer; the Camera (c) menu item now outputs all camera settings. The default right mouse button mouse binding was changed from zoom/menu to zoom. User-initiated exports no longer cause the renderer to quit. Dynamic time stepping was fixed in the ode module; the integrate routines now return the array of computed values. Operators == and != were added for all built-in arithmetic 2D arrays; a segmentation fault was fixed. The etc/fstab kludge for Cygwin 1.7 was removed. The configuration directory under TeXLive is now $TEXMFCONFIG/asymptote. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/asymptote .

URW++ original 35 fonts available under LPPL
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 28 Jun '09

28 Jun '09

From: Jerzy B. Ludwichowski Subject: URW++ making original 35 fonts available under LPPL I am forwarding the message below on behalf of Peter Rosenfeld, Managing Director of URW++, who has kindly agreed to make the basic 35 PostScript fonts also available under the LPPL. At his request, I'll be disseminating the information throughout the TeX community. Many thanks to Dr. Rosenfeld! Many thanks are also due to Karl Berry, TUG President, for his unswerving support and advice and Bogus{}aw Jackowski, lead TeX Gyre developer, for pushing the issue. Best, Jerzy ............................................................... From: Peter Rosenfeld Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2009 11:33:29 +0200 Subject: URW++ original 35 fonts available under LPPL To whom it may concern, Many years ago, URW++ Design and Development Inc. released their Type 1 implementations of the basic 35 PostScript fonts under the GNU General Public License and the Aladdin Ghostscript Free Public License. We now additionally release them under the LaTeX Project Public License (http://www.latex-project.org/lppl), either version 1 or (at your option) any later version. Of course, this additional licensing applies to the original URW++ material, not any subsequent changes and additions made by other parties. The original font files are widely available, for instance as part of the Ghostscript 4.00 release, and therefore we are not releasing any new font files. Those interested can replace the license terms in those original files accordingly. Responsibility for ensuring that no material is incorrectly licensed remains with the distributor, as always. We hope this additional licensing will make our fonts even more widely available and usable in the free software community, such as the TeX Gyre Project. Sincerely, Peter Rosenfeld (Managing Director, URW++)

CTAN package update: recycle
by CTAN announcements (Jim Hefferon, tug.ctan.org) 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

The package below has been updated at tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your local mirror. Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ....................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: recycle Author's name: Ian Green, Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /fonts/recycle Summary description: A font providing the recyclable logo License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As Ian Green's recycle.readme states, recycle.mf is awful code and doesn't even put the logo in a box (properly). In practical terms, this means that recycle.mf produces a number of Metafont Inconsistent equation errors, which break many of the scripts that process Metafont fonts. Fortunately, running Metafont manually and forcing it to ignore errors does seem to produce valid output. To ease the pain of using the recycling symbol in (La)TeX documents and to enable the recycling symbol to look good at arbitrary scale I hereby provide recycle.pfb, a PostScript Type 1 version of recycle.mf. recycle.pfb was produced by running recycle.mf through mf2pt1 and tweaking the resulting Type 1 font in FontForge to relocate a few control points to integral coordinates and to remove a self-intersecting path. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/recycle .

CTAN Update: hyph-utf8
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

On Fri, 26 Jun 2009, Mojca Miklavec and Arthur Reutenauer submitted an update to the hyph-utf8 package. Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc). The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for TeX are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns. Location on CTAN: /language/hyph-utf8/ Summary description: UTF-8 hyphenation patterns License type: other-free Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Synchronize changes from dehyph-exptl v0.20: - improvements in hyph-de-1901.tex, hyph-de-1996.tex - added Swiss-German patterns with traditional ortography ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/language/hyph-utf8/ .

CTAN Update: dehyph-exptl
by CTAN Announcements 26 Jun '09

26 Jun '09

On Wed, 24 Jun 2009, Stephan Hennig submitted an update to the dehyph-exptl package. Location on CTAN: /language/hyphenation/dehyph-exptl Summary description: experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language, covering traditional and reformed orthography for several varieties of Standard German. The patterns can be used with packages Babel and hyphsubst from the Oberdiek bundle. Dieses Paket enthaelt experimentelle Trennmuster fuer die deutsche Sprache. Die Trennmuster decken das in Deutschland, Oesterreich und der Schweiz gebraeuchliche Standarddeutsch in der traditionellen und reformierten Rechtschreibung ab und koennen mit den Paketen Babel und hyphsubst aus dem Oberdiek-Buendel verwendet werden. 2009-06-24: v0.20 ----------- Aenderungen: * allgemein: ** Die Trennung von Zahlwoertern wurde verbessert. ** Die roemischen Zahlen bis MMD (2500) werden nicht getrennt. ** Viele zusaetzliche irrefuehrende Trennungen werden vermieden. ** Viele Fehler in der Wortdatenbank wurden korrigiert. ** Die Dokumentation wurde erweitert. * dehypht-x (traditionelle Rechtschreibung, Deutschland, Oesterreich): Der Ersatz ss fuer ß wird beruecksichtigt und wie bei der Schreibung mit ß getrennt. Das Babelkuerzel S muss damit in Versalwoertern nur noch in Ausnahmefaellen verwendet werden (siehe auch Regel T2 in der Paketdokumentation). * dehyphts-x (traditionelle Rechtschreibung, Schweiz): Es werden neue Trennmuster fuer die traditionelle Rechtschreibung des Schweizer Standarddeutschs angeboten. Die Trennmuster unterscheiden sich von denen fuer die traditionelle Rechtschreibung des Standarddeutschs Deutschlands und Oesterreichs (dehypht-x) in der Trennung von ss als Ersatz fuer ß. Babelunterstuetzung fuer diese Trennmuster fehlt bisher jedoch. Wer machts? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/language/hyphenation/dehyph-exptl .
