CTAN package update: IEEEconf
by FTP archive maintainer 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

The package below has been updated on tug.ctan.org. The changes should soon make their way to your favorite mirror. Thanks for the update, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: IEEEconf Author's name: Scott Pakin Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/IEEEconf Summary description: Class file for IEEE Computer Society Press conference proceedings License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The IEEEconf class implements the formatting dictated by the IEEE Computer Society Press for conference proceedings (http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm). IEEEconf.cls replaces latex8.sty and latex8.bst. The goal was to produce a more faithful implementation of the formatting rules and to do so with cleaner LaTeX code than that provided by the latex8.* files. This update implements the newly revised IEEE Computer Society Press formatting guidelines. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/IEEEconf .

CTAN package update: ushyphex
by FTP archive maintainer 29 Aug '05

29 Aug '05

Barbara Beeton has updated her master list of hyphenation exceptions for U.S. English. The updates to the list will appear in the forthcoming issue of TUGboat. The complete list, with plurals and other variants included, is now available on CTAN, in info/digests/tugboat: ushyphex.tex - the generated list, suitable for passing to TeX tb0hyf.tex - the source for the list hyphenex.sh - the (shell/sed) script which generates the former from the latter, courtesy of Werner Lemberg. If you actually try to input the list unaltered, you will find that it is currently over 1000 exceptions, which will overflow the limit in many distributions (e.g., TeX Live 2004). The default limit will be increased in future releases; meanwhile, for Web2C-based distributions, you can increase hyph_size in texmf.cnf (8191 is a good number). If any questions or problems, or you find additional exceptions are needed, please email tugboa (at) tug.org. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/digests/tugboat .

CTAN update: latexdiff
by CTAN Announcements 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

On Fri, 19 Aug 2005 Frederik Tilmann submitted an update to the latexdiff package. Location on CTAN: /support/latexdiff Summary description: Determine and mark up significant differences between latex files License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- latexdiff is a Perl script, which compares two latex files and marks up significant differences between them (i.e. a diff for latex files). Various options are available for visual markup using standard latex packages such as color.sty. Changes not directly affecting visible text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in the latex source. A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script, latexrevise, which accepts or rejects all changes. Manual editing of the difference file can be used to override this default behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only. This is a significant update (from version 0.2 to 0.3). Major changes are the introduction of CVS support, and much improved reliability for inlined math, plus several bug fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.
