New on CTAN: Lucid CV

Patrik Goldschmidt submitted the Lucid CV package. Version: 1.0.0 License: lppl1.3c ofl mit Summary description: ATS-safe customizable LuaLaTeX template for modern resumes/CVs Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello, CTAN community, There is no shortage of résumé templates. Some call themselves ATS-friendly, many don't bother, and few check. Yet a single job posting can draw hundreds of applications, and automated parsers decide what a human sees ﬁrst. A résumé that looks good but is read back as a set of fused words, stray icon characters, or orphaned dates may never be noticed. Lucid CV (lucidcv) is a LuaLaTeX class that treats machine readability as a tested property rather than an assumption. Its design is inspired by PlushCV (https://github.com/cystema/PlushCV), with a replaced custom backend developed based on a Python test harness that builds the PDF and reads it back with several extraction engines. The harness checks that: - word gaps are real space characters, - icons extract as nothing, - every phrase comes back intact and in document order, - the PDF is the PDF/A-2b it claims to be. The class was developed against these tests, and each extractor failure that appeared along the way was ﬁxed in the class. It supports single- and two-column layouts, a compact mode, and colors, fonts and spacing that can be customized directly in a document without touching the class and breaking machine parsing. CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/lucidcv Source, tests and examples: https://github.com/xGoldy/lucidcv Feedback, bug reports and unexpected failing PDF parsers are warmly welcome.

CTAN update: pkgcheck
by CTAN Announcements 07 Oct '26

07 Oct '26

Manfred Lotz submitted an update to the pkgcheck package. Version: 4.1.1 2026-10-06 License: apache2 mit Summary description: CTAN package checker Announcement text: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ### Fixed - False positive PDF detection for text files containing `%PDF` as a substring (e.g. a Windows batch file using `%PDF%` as a variable). Caused by `infer` 0.22 scanning the first 1024 bytes for `%PDF` rather than checking only the magic offset. - Eliminate remaining `panic!` / `.unwrap()` sites in `main.rs`: missing home directory, unexpected file type in TDS archive walk, hash-file errors in threadpool scopes, symlink canonicalization, `meta.modified()`, tempdir path conversion, and several non-UTF-8 path sites. - Remove `'/'` from the filename allowlist in `filename_has_bad_chars`; add `depth() > 0` guard so invoking pkgcheck with `-d .` or `-d ./` no longer triggers a false E0001. - Replace `match dir_entry { Ok/Err }` with a `let`-else guard in the `check_package` WalkDir loop. ### Changed - Rust crate updates ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/pkgcheck The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/support/pkgcheck/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
