CTAN Update: CircuiTikZ
by CTAN Announcements 26 Nov '09

26 Nov '09

On Wed, 18 Nov 2009, Massimo Redaelli submitted an update to the circuitikz package. The package provides a set of macros for naturally typesetting electrical and (somewhat less naturally, perhaps) electronic networks. It is designed as a tool that is easy to use, with a lean syntax, native to LaTeX, and directly supporting PDF output format. Location on CTAN: /graphics/pgf/contrib/circuitikz/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Quite an update. Many bugs fixed, but probably just as many new ones introduced: feedback welcome! * Version 0.2.3 - fixed compatibility problem with label option from tikz - Fixed resizing problem for shape ground - Variable capacitor - polarized capacitor - ConTeXt support (read the manual!) - nfet, nigfete, nigfetd, pfet, pigfete, pigfetd (contribution of Clemens Helfmeier and Theodor Borsche) - njfet, pjfet (contribution of Danilo Piazzalunga) - pigbt, nigbt - *backward incompatibility* potentiometer is now the standard resistor-with-arrow-in-the-middle; the old potentiometer is now known as variable resistor (or vR), similarly to variable inductor and variable capacitor - triac, thyristor, memristor - new property name for bipoles - fixed voltage problem for batteries in american voltage mode - european logic gates - *backward incompatibility* new american standard inductor. Old american inductor now called cute inductor - *backward incompatibility* transformer now linked with the chosen type of inductor, and version with core, too. Similarly for variable inductor - *backward incompatibility* styles for selecting shape variants now end are in the plural to avoid conflict with paths - new placing option for some tripoles (mostly transistors) - mirror path style ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pgf/contrib/circuitikz/ .

CTAN update: PerlTeX
by CTAN Announcements 24 Nov '09

24 Nov '09

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: PerlTeX Version number: 2.0 Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/perltex/ Summary description: Define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PerlTeX is a combination Perl script (perltex.pl) and LaTeX2e style file (perltex.sty) that, together, give the user the ability to define LaTeX macros in terms of Perl code. Once defined, a Perl macro becomes indistinguishable from any other LaTeX macro. PerlTeX thereby combines LaTeX's typesetting power with Perl's programmability. Version 2.0 (not a major release, just the version after 1.9) of PerlTeX fixes two bugs. First, user code can now safely change the current directory. Second, multi-paragraph error output is now reported correctly. Thanks to Przemyslaw Wesolek for providing a bug report and minimal example that triggered both bugs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/perltex/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/pkg/perltex (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 .

back on the 17th, the daemon piped up and wittered about an upload... > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: datetime > Author's name: Nicola Talbot > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/datetime > Summary description: Change format of oday with commands for displaying the time > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Version 2.56: > * Added formattime.
