CTAN Update: autolatex 5.3
by CTAN Announcements 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

On Sat, 6 Oct 2007, Stephane Galland submitted an update to the autolatex package. AutoLaTeX is a set of GNU Make and Perl scripts that may be used to compile LaTeX projects. AutoLaTeX automates the compilation process by calling (pdf)latex and bibtex as they are required. It supports pdflatex, latex, dvips, epstopdf and bibtex. AutoLaTeX also provides a powerful feature for automatic generation of the figures that are included in the LaTeX project: for several figure sources (xfig, dia, umbrello, png, svg, xmi...) AutoLaTeX is able to generate the appropriate PDF picture. AutoLaTeX also supports pstex format generation (from xfig and gnuplot for example). The use of AutoLaTeX on the command line is similar to GNU Make. AutoLaTeX should be called with several targets to run. Location on CTAN: /support/autolatex Summary description: Update of AutoLaTeX due to major bug fixes License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Several major bugs are fixed inside the GTK interface of AutoLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/autolatex/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=autolatex (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 .

05 Oct '07

On Thu, 4 Oct 2007, Heiko Oberdiek submitted an update to the oberdiek bundle. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/oberdiek/ License:LPPL New packages: * bigintcalc v1.0 This package provides expandable arithmetic operations with big integers that can exceed TeX's number limits. * bitset v1.0 This package defines and implements the data type bit set, a vector of bits. The size of the vector may grow dynamically. Individual bits can be manipulated. * grfext v1.0 This package provides macros for adding and reordering graphics extensions of package `graphics'. Updates: * bookmark v1.2 * pdfmark driver respects ofiles. * engord v1.6 * Short description fixed. * epstopdf v1.5 * New option `update': If the converted file exists, it will be only converted if it is out of date. * Updating the extension list is delegated to package `grfext'. Fine tuning is done by the new options `append', `prepend'. * New option `outdir' for changing the output directory. * New option `verbose'. * SourceFile and OutputFile introduced. * Configuration file support added. * flags v0.4 * Package is deprecated because of new more powerful package `bitset'. * intcalc v1.1 * intcalcNum added. * intcalcShl and intcalcShr allow negative numbers. The sign is preserved. * Reuse @gobble instead of own macro IntCalc@Gobble. * Small fixes. * Shorter internal prefix. * Some programmer's interface. * kvoptions v2.8 * Compatibility for plain-TeX added. * Typos in documentation fixed. * kvsetkeys v1.4 * Normalizing and parsing of comma separated lists added. * kv@normalize rewritten. * Robustness increased for normalizing and parsing, e.g. for values with unmatched conditionals. * e-TeX is used if available. * Tests added for normalizing and parsing. _______________________________________________ Thanks for the upload.

The package below has been updated on tug.ctan.org and should soon be at your favorite mirror. Thanks again, Jim Hefferon Saint Michael's College ................................................................... The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: ijmart, v1.1 Author's name: Boris A Veytsman Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/ijmart/ Summary description: LaTeX class for the Israel Journal of Mathematics License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Israel Journal of Mathematics is published by The Hebrew University Magnes Press. This class provides LaTeX support for its authors and editors. It strives to achieve the distinct ``look and feel'' of the journal, while having the interface similar to the one of the amsart document class. This will help the authors already familiar with amsart to easily submit manuscripts for The Israel Journal of Mathematics or to put the preprints in http://www.arxiv.org with minimal changes in the LaTeX source. In version 1.1 the new environments ``namedprop'' and ``namedprop*'' are added. They facilitate typesetting of special named propositions. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ijmart/ .
