by CTAN Announcements 14 Jul '10

14 Jul '10

i'm finally close to catching up with the daemon. this time he's written: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: baskervaldadf > Author's name: Clea F. Rees > Location on CTAN: fonts/baskervaldadf/ > Summary description: Baskervald ADF fonts collection in ps type 1 > format with TeX/LaTeX support. > License type: other-free > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Baskervald ADF is a serif family with lining figures designed as a > substitute for Baskerville. The family currently includes upright and > italic or oblique shapes in each of regular, bold and heavy > weights. All fonts include the slashed zero and additional > non-standard ligatures. The support package renames them according to > the Karl Berry fontname scheme and defines two families. One of these > primarily provides access to the standard or default characters > while the other supports additional ligatures. The included package > files provide access to these features in LaTeX as explained in the > baskervaldadf.pdf. thanks for the upload: i have installed the new files, and created an entry in the catalogue repository for the package. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/baskervaldadf.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/fonts/baskervaldadf/ the catalogue entry won't appear on the web until some time tonight.

CTAN update: cfr-lm
by CTAN Announcements 14 Jul '10

oh dear, that poor old daemon: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: cfr-lm > Author's name: Clea F. Rees > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/cfr-lm > Summary description: Enhanced support for the Latin Modern fonts. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This is a very minor update to ensure that encoding files are > unique. The map file and manifest.txt are changed accordingly. > > The package supports a number of features of the Latin Modern fonts > which are not easily accessible via the default (La)TeX support > provided in the official distribution. In particular, the package > supports the use of the various styles of digits available, small-caps > and upright italic shapes, and alternative weights and widths. It > also supports variable width typewriter and the quotation > font. Version 2.004 of the Latin Modern fonts is supported. > > By default, the package uses proportional oldstyle digits and variable > width typewriter but this can be changed by passing appropriate > options to the package.

the daemon is staggering slightly with the weight of updates ahead of the tex live freeze, but it still managed: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: fontspec > Author's name: Will Robertson > Location on CTAN: contrib/latex/fontspec > Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Just when I thought the final release for TeX Live 2010 was done, a > couple more issues arose.

CTAN update: The mh bundle
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jul '10

13 Jul '10

that daemon keeps finding things, and confusing me: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: The mh bundle > Author's name: Lars Madsen > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/mh/ > Summary description: Updates for the mh bundle > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Updates for the MH bundle: > > mathstyle: typo in currentstyle > > flexisym: fixed a problem with the capital greek letters in the > support files for mathpazo and mathptmx. > > mathtools: several bugfixes and some new macros, including an extended > version of DeclarePairedDelimiter which can create delimited macros > with several arguments. A 'right' version of cases is also added. > > There are currently two open bugs in mathtools. If used with ntheorem > loaded with the thmmarks option, the showonlyrefs feature may behave > oddly. In the mathtools manual a fix is indicated (loading empheq with > specific options, before ntheorem). > > Secondly there is a bug with centercolon if used in combination with a > language that use an active colon, e.g. french. The problem goes back > to babel not differentiating between text and math when handling > active letters, or at least not providing any interfaces to deal with > mathematics. Thus there is no fix to this problem in the general case. thanks for the upload; i have installed the files and updated the catalogue repository entries. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/mh.html (and linked entries for flexisym and mathtools) > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mh/ the web versions of the catalogue entries will be updated overnight tonight.

the deamon snuck in while i was preparing for work: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: expl3 > Author's name: LaTeX3 Project > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/expl3 > Summary description: Packages supporting LaTeX3 programming conventions > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This is an intermediate release, to fix an issue with the calc package > and l3calc.
