CTAN has a new package: boxhandler
by CTAN Announcements 24 Apr '06

24 Apr '06

On Mon, 24 Apr 2006 Steven B. Segletes submitted the new package boxhandler to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/boxhandler Summary description: Flexible Captioning and Deferred Box/List Printing License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a powerful, yet simple, interface for managing and manipulating the captions of boxed objects (e.g., tables and figures). In addition to providing wide flexibility in the presentation style of the captions, this package, when used in combination with conditionally compiled LaTeX source codes, provides the ability to defer or preempt the presentation of figures, tables, and their associated lists. In this way, one can, for example, by changing a single line of source code in the .tex file, change the output of LaTeX from a technical report with tables and figures interspersed in the text, to a journal-manuscript submission, with figures collected at the end of document, as well as lof and lot deferred or preempted. Run `boxhandler.ins' through LaTeX to produce boxhandler.sty from boxhandler.dtx. Run `boxhandler.dtx' through LaTeX to produce the documentation. This program can be redistributed and/or modified, with attribution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Sch�pf

It provides macros for plotting various mathematical functions. Polynomials and their derivatives $f(x)=an*x^n+an-1*x^(n-1)+...+a0$ defined by the coefficients a0 a1 a2 ... and the derivative order; the Fourier sum $f(x) = a0/2+a1cos(omega x)+...+b1sin(omega x)+...$ defined by the coefficients a0 a1 a2 ... b1 b2 b3 ...; the Bessel function defined by its order; and the Gauss function defined by sigma. i need to add more to the catalogue: that will happen later today, in time for nightly updates.

CTAN update: polynom v0.17
by CTAN Announcements 21 Apr '06

21 Apr '06

On Thu, 20 Apr 2006, Hendri Adriaens submitted an update to the polynom package by Carsten Heinz. Because Carsten Heinz could not be reached anymore for a long time, this package has been taken over according to the LPPL for maintenance by Hendri Adriaens on 2006/04/20. This package was using and redefining internals of the keyval package and hence it was incompatible with xkeyval. This problem has been solved and the processing of the vars key has been simplified. All other things are left as the original by Carsten Heinz. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

Location on CTAN: /fonts/aurical Summary description: Update of aurical: Two additional calligraphic fonts License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a major upgrade of the package aurical.

All three fonts cover the whole glyphset of the Cork/T1 encoding.

Re: tug.ctan.org site will not be working for a while
by CTAN Announcements 18 Apr '06

18 Apr '06

I believe that http://tug.ctan.org is back. I would appreciate an email if someone notices a remaining problem. I will leave a small notice up on the home page for a day or two. The major reason for the outage was a software upgrade that should improve our ability to gather and maintain metadata. In particular, there is an improved upload facility that will allow contributers to directly edit package descriptions, etc. These scripts should emerge from testing in the coming weeks. Allow me, please, a thanks. Part of the upgrade -- the part I was scratching my head about -- involved putting a version 8 of the database PostgreSQL onto my Debian system (Sarge stable now has a version 7). While I was aware that magical things can be done with apt-get, dpkg, etc., I didn't personally know how to do them. Then I found Vadim Kutchin's article http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/373 and it was perfect. Of course, CTAN is built on the contibutions of many people so in some ways I am not surprised at his generosity in publishing the steps, but wow was I glad when that article title showed in Google!
