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.

(otherwise, the update would not have happened until some time in the small hours of tomorrow morning.) hyperref, as almost everybody probably knows, is the package of choice for constructing hyper-references within latex documents; changes in this latest version are listed below. thanks, Heiko, for this new version of your very important package.

CTAN has a new package: xyling
by CTAN Announcements 01 Aug '06

01 Aug '06

On Mon, 31 Jul 2006, Ralf Vogel submitted a new package called xyling to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xyling Summary description: Macros to draw syntactic trees and similar graphical objects used in linguistics literature, based on xypic. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The macros in this package model the construction of linguistic tree structures as a genuinely graphical problem: they contain two types of objects, BRANCHES and NODE LABELS, and these are positioned relative to a GRID. It is essential that each of these three elements is constructed independent of the other two, and hence they can be modified without unwanted side effects.The macros are based on the xypic package. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

CTAN update: SplitIndex
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jul '06

30 Jul '06

On Sun, 30 Jul 2006, Markus Kohm submitted an update to the splitindex package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/splitindex Summary description: Unlimited number of indexes. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- SplitIndex consists of a LaTeX package, splitidx, and a small program, splitindex. The package may be used to produce one index or several indexes. Without splitindex (for example, using the index package), the number of indexes is limited by the number of TeX's output streams. But using the program you may use even more than 16 indexes: splitidx outputs only a single file jobname.idx and the program splits that file into several raw index files and calls your favorite index processor for each of the files. ----------------------------------------------------------- Main changes at this release: - index{...|format} handling was broken, if hyperref has been used ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

Re: CTAN has a new package: arabi

On Wednesday, Jim Hefferon announced the release of a new package, arabi: > Name of contribution: arabi > Author's name: Youssef JABRI > Location on CTAN: /language/arabic/arabi > Summary description: A package toa add support of Arabic and Farsi to > (La)-TeX, compliant with BABEL > License type: lppl at the time, we (the CTAN team) were concerned about the licences of the available fonts to go with the package. fortunately, the author has been able to set our minds at ease about the fonts' licences, and i have therefore installed new subdirectories: language/arabic/arabi/fonts/type1/{arabeyes,farsiweb} of the package's basic language/arabic/arabi directory. once again, we are grateful to Youssef Jabri for his contributions (and for his patience with a very cautious ctan team!).
