CTAN submission -- new polynom package
by Reinhard Zierke 27 Sep '01

27 Sep '01

----- Forwarded message from Carsten Heinz ----- I've uploaded the file `polynom.zip' to dante.ctan.org/incoming. Please decompress it to CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/polynom/ The new version just adds stepwise output of polynomial long divisions and nothing else. Reply to comp.text.tex is much appreciated. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission, I installed the new version as suggested. The Readme file says about the package: ------------------------------------------------------------ The `polynom' package implements macros for manipulating polynomials, for example it can typeset long polynomial divisions. The main test case and application is the polynomial ring in one variable with rational coefficients. For more details read the documentation `polynom.dvi' or visit http://www.atscire.de/products/polynom . ------------------------------------------------------------ Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

New MiKTeX and LaTeX releases

Andreas Hirsch wrote: > zu meiner Uberraschung musste ich eben auf der MiKTeX-Seite lesen, > dass das jahrliche Update verfugbar ist. > > Ich dachte, sowas erfahrt man hier als erster ... [ Translation: Andreas asks why the MiKTeX update has been announced on the MiKTeX website but not on CTAN ] We send to CTAN-ANN information about things that we manually install on the CTAN hosts unless these are minor updates (whatever that is). Lots of other things get mirrored from other sites though, e.g. MiKTeX. Unfortunately we can't announce such things regularly as we would have to wade through each updated package, analyse the - hopefully existent - readme files, etc. Therefore we have to trust the owners of packages mirrored to CTAN to announce their new versions by themselves. Of course we are glad if they send us a release/update notice that we can forward to CTAN-ANN. Having said all this, I should add that the LaTeX release <2001/06/01> is on CTAN for two days now. See CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/doc/ltnews14.{dvi,pdf,ps} for news. Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

New Dante CTAN server
by Reinhard Zierke 26 Sep '01

26 Sep '01

I am proud to announce that one of the three central CTAN hosts, ftp.dante.de and www.dante.de, has moved from the old server sun.dante.de, located in Mainz, Germany, to a brand new machine nova.dante.de, which is now located in my faculty in Hamburg, Germany. DANTE, Deutschsprachige Anwendervereinigung TeX e.V., appreciates the long time support of the Computer Center of Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz which has hosted the Dante servers for many years. Thank you very much!

CTAN submission -- BrushScriptX-Italic PS Type-1 fonts (update)
by Reinhard Zierke 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

I have installed an update of the Type-1 font BrushScriptX-Italic by Maurizio Loreti in CTAN:/tex-archive/fonts/brushscr. >From the README file: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains: a Type-1 font named BrushScriptX-Italic, that simulates hand-written characters; all the files needed by LaTeX in order to use that font; a file AAA_readme.tex that fully describes the package; two example files. History: - The original (public domain) NeXT screen font has been edited, with a Type-1 font editor named TypeSmith, on an Amiga computer. The service files have been generated using the fontinst package by Alan Jeffrey. - Having TypeSmith generated a buggy font, Louis Vosloo of Y&Y, with enormous courtesy, has fixed the font in his spare time (I no longer had an Amiga computer, or a font editor of any kind). - Rolf Niepraschk submits a file pbsi.sty . - A more strict dvips (5.86e) refuses to handle the font. Rolf Niepraschk submits a fix, generated by the type1fix perl script. - Having learnt about a free Type-1 font editor called 'pfaedit' by George Williams (http://pfaedit.sourceforge.net) I have completely re-edited the font. Thierry Bouche has been of invaluable help with fontinst. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Reinhard Zierke for the CTAN team

CTAN Submission -- paralist v2.1
by Reinhard Zierke 21 Sep '01

21 Sep '01

----- Forwarded message from Bernd Schandl ----- I have uploaded the file paralist.21.zip to the /incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. The package is licensed under the LPPL. I recommend placing the unpacked files README, paralist.ins and paralist.dtx in macros/latex/contrib/supported/paralist/ replacing the old versions. >From the abstract: This style file provides some new list environments. Itemized and enumerated lists can be typesetted within paragraphs, as paragraphs and in a compact version. Most environments have optional arguments to format the labels. Additionally, the LaTeX environments |itemize| and |enumerate| can be extended to use a similar optional argument. New in the version are: - New options alwaysadjust, neveradjust and neverdecreas to adjust label widths. - New environments asparadesc and inparadesc. - Flushleft labels. - New macros setdefaultleftmargin, setdefaultitem and setdefaultenum replacing the macros without set. Now the left margin for all six possible list labels can be set. - New macros enumlabel, itemlabel and paradescriptionlabel to define label format. ----- End forwarded message ----- Thanks for the submission, I installed the new version in CTAN:/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/supported/paralist as suggested.

CTAN package upgrade: JavaBib
by Jim Hefferon 20 Sep '01

20 Sep '01

An upgrade, including a change of license to LPPL, has been made on the JavaBib package. It has been installed at tug.ctan.org and should make its way through the mirroring process in the next day or two. Thanks for the contribution, Jim Hefferon ftpmaint(a)tug.ctan.org ============================================================= The following information was provided by our fellow contributor: Name of contribution: JavaBib Name: John Janmaat Location on CTAN: biblio/bibtex/utils/JavaBib Summary description: BibTeX reference manager, written in Java License type: lppl Announcement text: - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- JavaBib update: Have corrected a few bugs, added partial documentation, and included the source files. I was hoping to clean up the documentation in the source files, but have not had the time to do so. Anyone who wants to continue the project is welcome to do so. Please keep me appraised, so that I don't reinvent the wheel, if you do. John. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
