CTAN Update: xcolor 2.11
by CTAN Announcements 22 Jan '07

22 Jan '07

On Sun, 21 Jan 2007, Uwe Kern submitted an update to the xcolor package. Xcolor provides easy driver-independent access to several kinds of color tints, shades, tones, and mixes of arbitrary colors. It allows a user to select a document-wide target color model and offers complete tools for conversion between eight color models. Additionally, there is a command for alternating row colors plus repeated non-aligned material (like horizontal lines) in tables. Colors can be mixed like color{red!30!green!40!blue}. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2007/01/21 v2.11 * New features: - color names `lime' and `teal' added to the set of predefined colors. * Bugfix: - incorrect XC@strip@comma call within `hyperref'-related options. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=xcolor (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 .

Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College .................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: attachfile Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/attachfile Summary description: Attach arbitrary files to a PDF document License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Starting with PDF 1.3 (Adobe Acrobat 4.0), PDF files can contain file attachments -- arbitrary files that a reader can extract, just like attachments to an e-mail message. The attachfile package brings this functionality to pdfLaTeX and provides some additional features not available in Acrobat, such as the ability to use arbitrary LaTeX code for the file icon -- including things like includegraphics, tabular, and math. Settings can be made either globally or on a per-attachment basis. attachfile makes it easy to attach files and customize their appearance in the enclosing document. Version 1.3 of attachfile incorporates some patches from Ross Moore for making attachfile robust to running hyperref with Hy@unicodetrue and for supporting the Created, Modified, and Size keys in the EmbeddedFile's Params dictionary. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/attachfile .
