CTAN package update: CurVe
by Jim Hefferon 23 May '04

23 May '04

A package has been updated on tug.ctan.org and by now has made its way to a mirror near you. Thanks for the upload, Jim Hefferon ====================================================================== The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: CurVe Author's name: Didier Verna Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/curve Summary description: A Curriculum Vitae class for LaTeX2e License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm happy to announce release 1.7 of CurVe. New in this release: ** Support for key horizontal alignment ** aggedleft and aggedright can now be used within individual entries ** Fix typo in Danish version of continuedname CurVe is a class package that hopefully will make your life easier when you want to write your CV. It provides you with a set of commands to create rubrics, entries in these rubrics etc. CurVe will then properly format your CV for you (possibly splitting it onto multiple pages, repeating the titles etc), which is usually the most painful part of CV writing. Another nice feature of CurVe is its ability to manage different CV flavors simultaneously. It is in fact often the case that you want to maintain slightly divergent versions of your CV at the same time, in order to emphasize on different aspects of your background. CurVe also comes with support for AUC-TeX. - - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can have a look at the package at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/curve 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

new machine for cambridge ctan
by Robin Fairbairns 22 May '04

22 May '04

cambridge has a new ctan machine; it's now been up and working on the addresses cam.ctan.org, ftp.tex.ac.uk (ftp protocol) and rsync.tex.ac.uk (rsync protocol) for well over 24 hours. even the most dilatory name server should get you to the new machine, now. this is the third machine that has served ctan since it came to cambridge, and it's not come a moment too soon -- the old machine was providing rather poor performance. the machine is a dual 2.6ghz xeon with 2gbyte of memory and lots of disc. we believe it will support applications at an acceptable level for some time. the machine was purchased with a grant from the uk tex users' group, and the ctan team is also grateful to the university of cambridge computer laboratory for continuing to provide a friendly home to ctan. the observant will have noticed that i did not mention www.tex.ac.uk, above. that is still being hosted by the laboratory's main web server. there are (ahem) structural difficulties with moving the web service, and we decided to go live with what we could, as soon as i could make at least something work reliably, Robin Fairbairns For the CTAN team

by Reinhard Zierke 15 May '04

15 May '04

----- Forwarded message from Christian Obrecht ----- I've just uploaded the latest source archives (1.0.0) of `eukleides' and `xeukleides' in `CTAN:/incoming/eukleides'. They should be installed in `CTAN:/tex-archive/support/eukleides/'. There's also a `README' file which is intended to replace the old one. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the upload. I installed it as suggested replacing the previous version in CTAN:support/eukleides/. The license remains GPL. >From the README file: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eukleides is a Euclidean geometry drawing language. Two softwares are related to it. First, eukleides, a compiler which allows to typeset geometry figures within a (La)TeX document. This program is also useful to convert such figures in EPS format or in various other vector graphic formats. Second, xeukleides, an X-Window front-end which makes possible to create interactive geometry figures. This program is also useful to edit and tune some Eukleides code. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team
