CTAN update: latexdiff
by CTAN Announcements 26 Aug '05

26 Aug '05

On Fri, 19 Aug 2005 Frederik Tilmann submitted an update to the latexdiff package. Location on CTAN: /support/latexdiff Summary description: Determine and mark up significant differences between latex files License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- latexdiff is a Perl script, which compares two latex files and marks up significant differences between them (i.e. a diff for latex files). Various options are available for visual markup using standard latex packages such as color.sty. Changes not directly affecting visible text, for example in formatting commands, are still marked in the latex source. A rudimentary revision facilility is provided by another Perl script, latexrevise, which accepts or rejects all changes. Manual editing of the difference file can be used to override this default behaviour and accept or reject selected changes only. This is a significant update (from version 0.2 to 0.3). Major changes are the introduction of CVS support, and much improved reliability for inlined math, plus several bug fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update.

CTAN update: dvi2bitmap 0.13
by CTAN Announcements 23 Aug '05

23 Aug '05

On Sun, 21 Aug 2005 Norman Gray submitted version 0.13 of his package dvi2bitmap to CTAN. dvi2bitmap is a utility to convert TeX DVI files directly to bitmaps, without going through the complicated (and slow!) route of conversion via PostScript and PNM. The prime motivation for this is to prepare mathematical equations for inclusion in HTML files but there are many other uses beyond that. It can generate XBM and GIF bitmaps, plus PNG, if you have the libpng library installed. It uses the same kpathsea font-searching library as other TeX programs, again as long as you have the appropriate library installed. The program is written in C++, and incidentally provides a good object interface for DVI and PK files. Location on CTAN: dviware/dvi2bitmap License type: gpl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New stable release. Mainly bugfix changes to 0.12, but the source has moved to sourceforge, requiring a number of build system tweaks. See also <dvi2bitmap.sourceforge.net> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the update. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
