CTAN update: pdfpages v0.4a
by CTAN Announcements 14 Aug '06

14 Aug '06

On Sat, 12 Aug 2006, Andreas Matthias submitted an update to the pdfpages package. This package simplifies the insertion of external multi-page PDF documents into LaTeX documents. Pages can be freely selected and similar to psnup it is possible to put several logical pages onto each sheet of paper. Furthermore a lot of hypertext features like hyperlinks and article threads are provided. This package supports pdfTeX (pdflatex) and VTeX. With VTeX it is even possible to use this package to insert PostScript files, in addition to PDF files. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/pdfpages License: LPPL Announcement text: Changes: -------- Since packages like pst-pdf must produce DVI output at the first run, it is no longer acceptable that pdfpages stops execution when running in DVI mode. Of course pdfpages cannot insert PDF documents in DVI mode but it will just insert empty pages. Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN has a new package: seqsplit

08 Aug '06

A new package has been put in place at tug.ctan.org and should soon make its way to your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim Hefferon St Michael's College ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: seqsplit Author's name: Boris Veytsman Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/seqsplit Summary description: Splitting Long Sequences of Letters (DNA, RNA, Proteins, Etc.), v0.1 License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sometimes one needs to typeset long sentences of letters, which should not have spaces between them (like letters in words), but could be split between lines at any point, often without a hyphenation character. This problem was formulated at the PracticalTeX-2006 conference by Klaus Hoeppner. In the general discussion several solutions were suggested. This package implements the one belonging to, I believe, Peter Flynn. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/seqsplit .

Volker Kuhlmann has provided a new version of his dvipsconfig package. > This is a set of PostScript header files which can be used to > control the printer, like simplex/duplex printing, or the printing, > like screen frequencies of images, or the addition of a grid > underlay. These header files can be inserted with dvips -P into > PostScript files generated by dvips, or with the addpsctrl script > into existing PostScript files. > > New in this version is an upgraded addpsctrl script, and the mmgrid > and a4grid grid underlays (grids are printed underneath the normal > page content). mmgrid has its origin in the bottom left corner, > a4grid in the top left corner.

CTAN update: KOMA-Script
by CTAN Announcements 02 Aug '06

02 Aug '06

On Tue, 1 Aug 2006, Markus Kohm submitted a new release of the koma-script package. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/koma-script Summary description: KOMA-Script is a versatil LaTeX2e bundle License type: lppl Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working environment. After 4 years of development the release of the LaTeX bundle KOMA-Script 2.95b is available now. KOMA-Script 2.95 was tested for month and should be as stable as KOMA-Script 2.9u was. Nevertheless KOMA-Script 2.95 is a new implementation of the features of KOMA-Script 2.9u. Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95b: - ifthispageodd fixed. This fix also fixes inner/outer margin bug of captionbeside and addmargin. - Line breaks at some messages improved to avoid overfull message lines. - Font variable `sectioning' renamed to `disposition'. `sectioning' still may be used as an alias of the new name. Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95a: - addmargin does not longer damage list depth - switching off option tocleft or listleft does not longer result in an error - vertical alignment of caption fixed Most important changes at KOMA-Script 2.95: - new source base - bugfix at scrlttr2: foldmarks does not depend on type area - bugfix at scrbook: option oneside activates aggedbottom - english manual (scrguien): describes same features like german manual - manuals: optimized to be used on screen (either portrait screen or on 19 landscape screens together with an editor window) - manuals: html index of all commands, options, environments etc. available (see scrguide.html or scrguien.html) - Simple installation by unpacking koma-script-texmf.zip at any TEXMF root directory (see INSTALLD.txt or INSTALL.txt). NOTE: This feature depends on the distribution. Distributions made by the author (see <URL:http://developer.berlios.de/project/filelist.php?group_id=4307>) have this feature. - license: LPPL 1.3b (see lppl-de.txt or lppl.txt) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
