CTAN Package update: rotating
by CTAN Announcements 19 May '08

19 May '08

I have installed an update of the rotating package (which I maintain). Changes in v 2.15 -- A fair bit of work on the .dtx, so that the manual is more useful -- Horizontal position of rotated floats on their page is controllable -- Redone the code on auto-rotating of floats in two-side documents; I believe i've solved the problem reported on comp.text.tex recently A .tds.zip file is available. Users can review the catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/rotating.html or browse the distribution directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/rotating/ (I would appreciate reports of continuing problems with auto-rotation of floats.)

CTAN Update: animate
by CTAN Announcements 18 May '08

18 May '08

On Fri, 16 May 2008 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the animate package. The package provides an interface to create portable, JavaScript driven PDF animations from sets of graphics files or from inline graphics, such as LaTeX picture environment, PSTricks or pgf/TikZ generated pictures, or just from typeset text. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/animate License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This updated version of `animate' uses a different method for animating graphics. The use of PDF Layers (OCGs) was dropped in favour of a Widget based method which produces animations that perform better in newer Acrobat Reader versions. The OCG based method is still available and can be selected by the package or command option `useocg'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animate . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=animate (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 package update: siunitx
by CTAN Announcements 17 May '08

17 May '08

This package has been updated at tug.ctan.org. Thank you, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: siunitx Author's name: Joseph Wright Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/exptl/siunitx Summary description: A comprehensive (SI) units package License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v0.8: - Table alignment extended to cover exponents - Units can now be repeated after errors and multiplied numbers - Negative values can appear in a different colour to positive numbers - Improvements to emulation of other packages - Fix for loading-order issue with numprint - Improved appearance of astronomy-style angles Version 0.8 marks the interface freeze for siunitx. There will (hopefully) be no changes to the interface without good reason and backward-compatibility. Moving to an official (v1.0) release depends very much on bugs in the current version. Please report any bugs or annoyances, and they will be investigated! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/exptl/siunitx .

License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I think we are approaching the perfection with the 2.06 version :-) I have quite simplified the xcas treatment of latex : the code is shorter and more efficient. But most of all, you can now choose your own metapost preambule to deal with the tex files : you just need to change lines 20->32 of tablor.sty Annoying cdots have desappeared as well and expressions are in math mode. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/tablor .

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ctan.tools Author's name: huynh ky anh (aka kyanh) Location on CTAN: /support/ctantools Summary description: client to access CTAN (download/search files/packages) License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT This small tool is used to seach/download some LaTeX packages that were listed in CTAN: http://ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ or search/download for any files in http://ctan.org/tex-archive/. Since version 1.0.1, the tools will use the cache file http://kyanh.net/ctan.tools//dump_files.tbz This file contains the list of all files in CTAN. It's updated daily by a cron job hosted by http://kyanh.net/. The size of file is about 3MB (compressed) & 15MB (un-compressed). The tool requires wget, lynx, gawk, wc, tar/bzip and sed program to run correctly. Some linux distribution doesnot contains lynx by default and you must install lynx manually before running this script. So this tool requires a *nix-liked environment to work. This tool was written by kyanh <xkyanh(a)gmail.com> kyanh is a member of Vietnamese TeX Users Group <http://viettug.org>. He wrote this script as he wanted a fast client to access CTAN.

The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: theoremref Author's name: Emil Jeřábek Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/theoremref Summary description: references with automatic theorem names License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The theoremref package provides variants of the label and ef commands for theorem-like environments, capable of automatically typesetting references including the theorem name (apart from the theorem number).

CTAN package update: fancyvrb
by CTAN Announcements 13 May '08

13 May '08

Niall Mansfield has developed a patch to the current version of the fancyvrb package, and submitted it to me (as a conduit to ctan). The patch addresses a bug in the code related to selecting lines for verbatim printing: if first selected line == last selected line (i.e., only one line was to be printed), the package failed. The new version has been installed at cambridge ctan, and should be on its way around the world. Users may view the package's catalogue entry at: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fancyvrb.html or browse the package directory tree: http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fancyvrb/ The catalogue entry will be (modestly) updated on the web, overnight.
