footmisc package: bug fix
by CTAN Announcements 17 Mar '05

17 Mar '05

a user reported on comp.text.tex that the footmisc para option produced overflow errors on very wide pages (such as those used by the a0poster class). the new version of the footmisc package uses e-tex facilities, if they're available, to replace the previously vulnerable code (the bug is still there, for latex systems not built using e-tex).

CTAN update: xcolor 2.01
by CTAN Announcements 15 Mar '05

15 Mar '05

On Tue, 15 Mar 2005 Uwe Kern submitted version 2.01 of his xcolor package to CTAN. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/xcolor/ Summary description: Driver-independent color extensions for LaTeX and pdfLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2005/03/15 v2.01 * New features: - `prologue' option for comprehensive `named' color support in conjunction with `dvips': on-the-fly generation of PostScript prologue files with all color definitions, ready for dvips inclusion and/or post-processing with device-specific parameters (e.g., spot colors); - dvips prologue file xcolor.pro to support additional `named' colors; - colorlet may now also be used to create named colors from arbitrary color expressions; - enhanced color definition syntax to allow for target-model specific color parameters, e.g. definecolor{red}{rgb/cmyk}{1,0,0/0,1,1,0}, facilitating the usage of tailor-made colors both for displays and printers; - `deferred definition' of colors: preparecolor and definecolors enable decoupling of color specification and control sequence generation, especially useful (= memory saving) for large lists of colors, of which only a few names are actually used; - `dvipsnames*' and `svgnames*' options to support deferred definition. * Changes: - higher accuracy: most complement calculations are now exact for all 5-digit decimals; - angeRGB and similar variables may now be changed at any point in a document; - aftergroupdef now performs only a first-level expansion of its code argument; - XCfileversion and similar internal constants removed from .sty and .def files; - improved memory management (reduced generation of `multiletter control sequences' by @ifundefined tests); - several internal macros improved and/or renamed. * Bugfixes: - XC@getcolor could cause unwanted spaces when psset was used inside |pspicture| environments (`pstricks'); - arithmetic overflow could happen when too many decimal digits were used within color parameters, e.g. as a result of `fp' calculations. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN upload: breakurl
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

On Fri, 11 Mar 2005 Vilar Camara Neto submitted a new package breakurl to CTAN. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/breakurl Summary description: The breakurl is an extension to hyperref package that allows line-breakable url-like links when compiling via latex + dvips + ps2pdf. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package provides a command much like hyperref's url that typesets a URL using a typewriter-like font. However, if the dvips driver is being used, the original url doesn't allow line breaks in the middle of the created link: the link comes in one atomic piece. This package allows such line breaks in the generated links. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf

CTAN update: isodate 2.27
by CTAN Announcements 13 Mar '05

13 Mar '05

On Fri, 11 Mar 2005, Harald Harders submitted version 2.27 of his package isodate to CTAN. >From the README: Tune the output format of dates. This package provides ten output formats of the commands oday, printdate, printdateTeX, and daterange (partly language dependent): ISO (yyyy-mm-dd), numeric (e.g. dd.,mm.~yyyy), short (e.g. dd.,mm.,yy), TeX (yyyy/mm/dd), original (e.g. dd. mmm yyyy), short original (e.g. dd. mmm yy), as well as numerical formats with Roman numerals for the month. The commands printdate and printdateTeX print any date. The date is given as an argument using the actual date format for output: printdate{yyyy-mm-dd}, printdate{dd.mm.yyyy}, or printdate{dd/mm/yyyy}, and printdateTeX{yyyy/mm/dd}. The command daterange prints a date range and leaves out unnecessary year or month entries. E.g. 2000-05-03 to 2000-05-08 leads to `2000-05-03 to 08'. ChangeLog: 2005/03/11 v2.27 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Add option british. 2005/03/10 v2.26 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Support different input formats containing slashes. - Force year in four digits for long formats. 2005/02/21 v2.25 Harald Harders (h.harders(a)tu-bs.de) - Changed year, month, and day from macros to counters. - Warning for unknown languages. - Fall-back format for unknown languages. Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
