CTAN upload: The umlaute package v2.1
by CTAN Announcements 01 Feb '06

01 Feb '06

On Wed, 1 Feb 2006 Axel Sommerfeldt submitted The umlaute package v2.1 to CTAN. This is some kind of pre-historic `inputenc' package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/umlaute/ License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This about-10-years-overdue update reduces the `umlaute' package to a simple loader of the `inputenc' package. (And gives an `obsolete' warning.) But the input encoding definition files `atari.def' (for ATARI ST(E)/TT/Falcon(TM)) and `roman8' (for HP-UX(TM)) are still usefull since they are missing in the LaTeX2e `inputenc' package distribution. (These 2 files have been cleaned up from the crap inside and have been adapted to the current `inputenc' package.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Sch�pf

CTAN package update and changes to: epsf
by CTAN Announcements 31 Jan '06

31 Jan '06

The well-known epsf macros have been updated on tug.ctan.org, and these changes should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Please note the change of location. The material has moved from the single file /macros/plain/contrib/misc/epsf.tex to the directory /macros/generic/epsf , where it has been expended to include multiple files. Thank you, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: epsf Author's name: Nelson Beebe Location on CTAN: /macros/generic/epsf Summary description: update of epsf.tex License type: pd Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update to epsf.tex fixes a bug when epsfbox is used in the LaTeX {center} environment. General information: The epsf.tex and epsf.sty (identical) files provide for low-level typesetting of Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files, with optional suppression of the figure contents (for faster display and printing during document development), optional figure framing, and optional figure labeling. LaTeX users are cautioned that the graphicx package documented in the LaTeX Graphics Companion and LaTeX Companion (2nd ed.) books provides a much more powerful and general facility, and allows easy switching between pdf(la)tex and (la)tex without document modification. Plain TeX and AmSTeX users, however, may find epsf.tex useful. The original location for these macros is http://www.math.utah.edu/pub/tex/epsf/. They are maintained by Nelson Beebe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/generic/epsf .

CTAN package update: europecv
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jan '06

30 Jan '06

A package update for the package described below is now in place at tug.ctan.org and should soon appear at your favorite mirror. Thank you, Jim ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: europecv Author's name: Nicola Vitacolonna Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/europecv Summary description: Unofficial class for European curricula vitae License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NEW FEATURES: * The default input encoding used by 'europecv' is now UTF-8, but the choice can be overriden by the user (the mechanism for managing input encodings has been changed, biased towards a less efficient, but more flexible solution. Now, any input encoding can be used with any language, e.g. Greek users are not forced to use UTF-8 anymore. Moreover, the europecv directory is not cluttered with many .def files for the same language anymore) * The class now depends on the 'ucs' and 'inputenc' packages, no matter what input encoding the user selects (this is because the .def files are UTF-8 files) * A class option 'booktabs' has been added, to typeset the spoken language table according to the 'booktabs' package rules * Added a command ecvlastlanguage that works with the booktabs option * A command ecvspace has been added, to tune the position of the personal picture MINOR CHANGES * The personal picture now is typeset when ecvpersonalinfo is issued, not at the beginning of the europecv environment * Optimized eps figures. * Lots of cosmetic changes in the code and in the output * Expanded documentation. BUG FIXES * A bug that caused compilation to abort when 'notitle' was used with languages other than English has been solved (thanks to Massimo Coppola) This version is still a BETA. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- See this package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/europecv .
