- what you've uploaded mathtex.zip to replace support/mathtex/mathtex.zip
- which CTAN node you've uploaded to ftp.tex.ac.uk
- where you want the files to go support/mathtex (The existing README file in support/mathtex has changed. Please replace that copy with the updated copy in mathtex.zip.)
- what licensing conditions you apply to your software GNU GPL
- brief summary of what your upload is intended to do. o Changes since CTAN version 1.00 released in Oct, 2007: o 11 Oct 2007 -- optional usepackage[arg]{package} argument now recognized correctly (initial release neglected to handle optional [arg] following usepackage). o 12 Oct 2007 -- html &#nnn; now translated during preprocessing, e.g., [ or [ becomes [ (left square bracket) before it's submitted to latex. o 12 Oct 2007 -- special mathTeX directives like ime are now checked for proper command termination, i.e., non-alpha character. (In particular, LaTeX imes had been incorrectly interpreted as mathTeX ime followed by an s.) o 12 Oct 2007 -- url unescape translation, i.e., %20-to-blank, etc, repeated (done twice) for
<form> input. (I'm not sure why this is necessary, and can't reproduce the problem myself, but am acting on seemingly reliable reports.) o 20 Oct 2007 -- removed leading and trailing pairs of $$...$$'s from input expressions, interpreting $...$ as extstyle and $$...$$ as displaystyle (and $$$...$$$ as parstyle). Also removed leading and trailing [...], interpreting it as displaystyle. (Note: displaystyle is mathTeX's default, so $$...$$'s or [...] are unnecessary. But some people submit expressions containing them, so they're now interpreted.) o 16 Feb 2008 -- more robust test to display the correct error message when a required dependency isn't installed. (Occasionally, the ran but failed message was emitted when a dependency was actually not installed.) o 16 Feb 2008 -- -DDENYREFERER=string or -DDENYREFERER=string1,string2,etc compile switch added. If compiled with it, mathTeX won't render images for HTTP_REFERER's containing string (or string1 or string2, etc) as a substring of their url's. o 17 Feb 2008 -- updated (slightly) documentation
Thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue.
Users may view the catalogue entry at http://mirror.ctan.org/help/Catalogue/entries/mathtex.html or they may view the package directory at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/mathtex/ (which directory contains the zip file to download
