On Sat, 17 Jan 2004, Till Tantau uploaded new versions of his beamer and pgf packages. I installed them in macros/latex/contrib/beamer and /graphics/pgf respectively. Thanks for the updates. Changelog is appended.

A package has been updated at tug.ctan.org. It should make its way to your favorite mirror in a day or two.

CTAN submission -- 3DLDF 1.1.5 Release
by Reinhard Zierke 16 Jan '04

16 Jan '04

I installed the current version of 3DLDF in CTAN:graphics/3DLDF/ These are the Release Notes: ----- Forwarded message from Laurence Finston <lfinsto1(a)gwdg.de> ----- Release of 3DLDF 1.1.5. 3DLDF is a GNU package for three-dimensional drawing with MetaPost output. It is available from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/3dldf and other ftp servers. Please see the author's website, http://wwwuser.gwdg.de/~lfinsto1 and http://www.gnu.org/directory/graphics/3D/3DLDF.html for more information. In release 1.1.5, I've tied up some loose ends. I wanted to do this before starting on the input routine. * Added `const real step' argument to the version of Ellipse::intersection_points() that takes an Ellipse argument. * BUG FIX: Added `touch 3DLDFmp.mp' to the `3DLDFmp.mp' target in 3DLDF-1.1.5/CWEB/Makefile.am. This ensures that TeX and dvips will be run if MetaPost is run on `3DLDFmp.mp'. This happens if `3DLDFput.mp' is newer than `3DLDFmp.mp', but the latter isn't changed, so TeX and dvips weren't being run. I'm surprized nobody's complained about this. Not yet documented in the _3DLDF User and Reference Manual_. * Added `PHONY' targets as synonyms for certain targets: `cpl' for `3dldf'. For compiling and linking `3dldf'. `mp' for `3DLDFmp.mp'. For running MetaPost on `3DLDFmp.mp'. `ldf' for `3DLDFput.mp'. For running `3dldf'. Not yet documented in the _3DLDF User and Reference Manual_. * It is now possible to ``typedef'' `real' to either `float' or `double'. This means that `real' can now be made a synonym for either `float' or `double' by using a `typedef' declaration. `real' is typedeffed to `float' by default. * Added `const TINYINT(1) ldf_real_float' and `extern const TINYINT(1) ldf_real_double' for use in non-conditionally compiled code. They are set according to the values of `LDF_REAL_FLOAT' and `LDF_REAL_DOUBLE'. * `Transform::epsilon()' and `Point::epsilon()' now return different values, depending on the values of the preprocessor macros `LDF_REAL_FLOAT' and `LDF_REAL_DOUBLE'. I have not yet tested whether good values are returned when `real' is `double'. * `MAX_REAL' and `MAX_REAL_SQRT' are no longer constants. Their values are set at the beginning of `main()'. However, users should not change their values. `MAX_REAL' is the second-largest `float' or `double' on a given machine. This now works for all common architectures. * Added `namespace System' containing the following functions: `get_endianness()', `is_big_endian()', `is_little_endian()', `get_register_width()', `is_32_bit()', `is_64_bit()', and the template function `get_second_largest()'. `namespace System' and its functions are documented in `system.texi', which is new in edition 1.1.5 of the _3DLDF User and Reference Manual_. * Replaced the various `create_new_<type>()' functions with the template function `create_new()'. The latter is documented in `creatnew.texi', which is new in edition 1.1.5 of the _3DLDF User and Reference Manual_. * Added the file `3DLDF-1.1.5/CWEB/cnepspng.el' to the distribution. It contains the definitions of the Emacs-Lisp functions `convert-eps' and `convert-eps-loop'. * Added the files 3DLDF-1.1.5/CWEB/exampman.web and 3DLDF-1.1.5/CWEB/examples.mp to the distribution. They contain the C++ and MetaPost code, respectively, for generating the illustrations in the _3DLDF User and Reference Manual_. ----- End forwarded message ----- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN has a new package: subfig
by Jim Hefferon 13 Jan '04

13 Jan '04

A new package has been installed at tug.ctan.org and it should be mirrored to your favorite source site in the next day or two. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: subfig Author's name: Steven Douglas Cochran Location on CTAN: tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig Summary description: Figures broken into subfigures License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package supersedes the subfigure package (which will continue to be supported, but no longer maintained). The name has changed because the subfig package is not completely backward compatible with the older subfigure package due to an extensive rewrite to use the new caption package to produce its subcaptions. The major advantage to the new package is that the user interface is keyword/value driven and easier to use. To ease the transition from the subfigure package it includes a configuration file (subfig.cfg) which nearly emulates the subfigure package. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive//tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/subfig although you may get a better network connection by visiting a mirror of CTAN that is near to you; see http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/README.mirrors
