CTAN update: The mh bundle
by CTAN Announcements 13 Jul '10

that daemon keeps finding things, and confusing me: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: The mh bundle > Author's name: Lars Madsen > Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/mh/ > Summary description: Updates for the mh bundle > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Updates for the MH bundle: > > mathstyle: typo in currentstyle > > flexisym: fixed a problem with the capital greek letters in the > support files for mathpazo and mathptmx. > > mathtools: several bugfixes and some new macros, including an extended > version of DeclarePairedDelimiter which can create delimited macros > with several arguments. A 'right' version of cases is also added. > > There are currently two open bugs in mathtools. If used with ntheorem > loaded with the thmmarks option, the showonlyrefs feature may behave > oddly.

Thus there is no fix to this problem in the general case. thanks for the upload; i have installed the files and updated the catalogue repository entries. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/mh.html (and linked entries for flexisym and mathtools) > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/mh/ the web versions of the catalogue entries will be updated overnight tonight.

the deamon snuck in while i was preparing for work: > The following information was provided by the package's contributor. > > Name of contribution: expl3 > Author's name: LaTeX3 Project > Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/expl3 > Summary description: Packages supporting LaTeX3 programming conventions > License type: lppl > > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > This is an intermediate release, to fix an issue with the calc package > and l3calc. The original calc implementation truncates on INT > division, but l3calc rounds instead. This change of behaviour can lead > to unexpected results. As an immediate fix, expl3 no longer loads > l3calc, which is still available as a stand-alone unit. > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- thanks for the upload. i've installed the files and updated the catalogue repository. > Users may view the package catalogue entry at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/expl3.html > or they may browse the package directory at > http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/expl3 the catalogue entry on the web will change overnight. a bit...

tug.ctan.org upload is down for a while
by CTAN Announcements 12 Jul '10

12 Jul '10

The upload facilities at tug.ctan.org will be down for a couple of days. Saint Michael's College hosts the site and is running network testing that may lead to spotty availability. That in turn could make newly-installed materials unavailable to mirrors. Anyway, it should all be back by Fri. Jim
