On Sun, 20 May 2012, Zdeněk Wagner submitted an update to the zwpagelayout package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package was developed as a typographers toolbox offering the most important features for everyday work. First it allows setting the paper size as well as the page layout. The next important feature is the ability of printing crop marks both with TeX + dvips or (x)dvipdfm(x) and with pdfTeX. Finally it is possible to reflect pages both horizontally and vertically. Partial PDF/X conformance is implemented and black overprint is enabled in pdfTeX, dvips, as well as (x)dvipdfm(x) drivers, i.e in XeLaTeX. Version 1.4a is a bug fix, an infinite loop occured if a user requested nonexistent page style (e.g. as a result of a misprint). Version 1.4 implements black overprint for (x)dvipdfm(x) family of drivers, i.e. it now works also with XeLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/zwpagelayout .

CTAN Update: mwe

On Tue, 15 May 2012 Martin Scharrer submitted an update to the mwe package. License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The 'mwe' LaTeX package now reorders the graphic extension list to include the PDF extension at the first place, so that PDFs instead of PNGs are used by default if no extension is given. This does no effect if the '.pdf' extension is not listed in the first place, e.g. for DVI mode. Also graphicspath{{example-}} is used, but only if no graphicspath is already set, in order to allow the shortening of the image names from example-image... to simply image.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/mwe .

Temporary stop of upload service at CTAN
by CTAN Announcements 11 May '12

11 May '12

Neither CTAN admin is able to work on uploads this week-end. We have decided to leave the upload pages (and ftp upload directories) open, but there is little chance that the backlog will be processed before Monday (14th May). Please bear with us: there are only two admins doing all the installation, documentation and announcement work. This was bound to happen some time, and this weekend external pressures have coincided as feared. And please be sensible about what you upload for us to install -- a large number of copies of the same package (oh, i forgot _that_, too or the like), for example, won't do you any good, and may anger other people who can't upload as a result.

The script does - looking for a fast server - downloading the install script - deleting an existing TeXLive version from Ubuntu (deb) or openSUSE (rpm) - extracting and running the install script - installing a complete up-to-date TeXLive from tug.org - installing the non free fonts from tug.org which are not part of TeXLive, like arial, Luxi mono, aso - installing the GUIs TeXmaker and TeXworks - creating files zzz-texlive.sh/csh for /etc/profile.d/ without specifing a directory, TeXLive will be installed in the home directory ~/texlive. For another one run the script with e.g. ./eitl.sh /usr/local/texlive for some actions the script needs to be root.

On Thu, 10 May 2012 Uwe Lück submitted the dowith package. Summary description: Apply a command to a list items – no separators, no iterator License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- `dowith.sty' provides macros for applying a command to all elements of a list without separators, such as `DoWithAllIn{<cmd>}{<list-macro>}', and also for extending and reducing macros storing such lists. Applications in mind belonged to LaTeX, but the package should work with other formats as well. Loop and list macros in other packages are discussed. There is an emphasis on expandability (no iterator), without relying on e-TeX. Privately, I have used macros for a more powerful package where the command may have more than one argument and there is a separator in output, such as a comma or a vertical stroke between links. This extended package may soon appear here as well.

Summary description: CJK language support License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update doesn't introduce important new things; it's mainly a maintainance release, fixing only minor issues. Enjoy! -------------------------- new: CJKfntef.sty: New commands varCJKunderline, CJKunderanyline, CJKunderanysymbol. See the example file `CJKfntef.tex' for typical usage. cjk-enc.el: Emacs 23 and newer is now supported, thanks to patches from Leung Hin-Tak. Leung Hin-Tak also contributed Thai support for UTF-8 encoding, making emacs an alternative to Thai word separator programs like `cttex' or `swath'. See the example file `thai_utf8.tex' for a typical usage. changed: Special XeTeX support has been removed (file `xCJK.sty' and others). Please use the separate `xeCJK' package instead. Peter Breitenlohner contributed various minor fixes and improvements to the many conversion programs like `cjklatex' or `bg5conv'. The Thai metrics files for `norasi' and `garuda' were updated to version 0.5 of the `font-tlwg' bundle. errors: CJKfntef.sty: An incompatibility with recent versions of `ulem.sty' was fixed. ruby.sty: Fix case where furigana is smaller than base glyph. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/language/chinese/CJK . More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/cjk (if the package is new it may take a day for that information to appear). We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org . Please join a users group; see http://www.tug.org/usergroups.html . ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Rainer Schöpf
