CTAN Update: biblatex-dw
by CTAN Announcements 08 Sep '13

08 Sep '13

Dominik Waßenhoven submitted an update to the biblatex-dw package. Version number: 1.6 License type: lppl Summary description: Humanities styles for biblatex Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- version 1.6 [2013/09/07] This version of biblatex-dw was tested with biblatex 2.7a and biber 1.7. - New option addyear (authortitle-dw only): If set to true, the year of the publication will be added after the title in citations. The year appears in parentheses. The default for this option is false. - BUGFIX: If a title ended with a question mark or an exclamation mark, the seenote string in footnote-dw was capitalised. This has been fixed. - BUGFIX: There was a problem with @inbook entries in the bibliography when using xref=true (the author of the book entry was not always shown). This is now fixed. - BUGFIX: Using annotation=true and/or library=true lead to a superfluous linebreak and dot in those entries which held an annotation and/or library. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex-contrib/biblatex-dw More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-dw We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: mathastext
by CTAN Announcements 07 Sep '13

07 Sep '13

Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the mathastext package. Version number: 1.3a License type: lppl Summary description: Use the text font in math mode Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.3a [2013/09/04] The command MTsetmathskips from recent release 1.3 is more flexible (e.g. for use in an @for loop): its first argument may be a macro (or any expandable code) giving the letter. The amsmath macro esetMathstrut@ is replaced only when strictly necessary (i.e. if the user makes the parentheses mathematically active via MTnonlettersobeymathxx). Again some improvements in the documentation. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mathastext More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/mathastext We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

CTAN Update: savesym
by CTAN Announcements 03 Sep '13

Jürgen Göbel submitted an update to the savesym package. Version number: 1.2 License type: lppl Summary description: There are a number of symbols (e.g., Square) that are defined by several packages. In order to typeset all the variants in a document, we have to give the glyph a unique name. To do that, we define savesymbol{XXX}, which renames a symbol from XXX to origXXX, and estoresymbols{yyy}{XXX}, which renames origXXX back to XXX and defines a new command, yyyXXX, which corresponds to the most recently loaded version of XXX. Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- v1.2 2013/09/02 changed ProvidesPackage{savesymbol} to ProvidesPackage{savesym} according to package name (thanks to Alvaro) changed mail address of maintainer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/savesym/savesym.sty More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/savesym We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
