CTAN Update: autolatex 5.3
by CTAN Announcements 08 Oct '07

08 Oct '07

On Sat, 6 Oct 2007, Stephane Galland submitted an update to the autolatex package. AutoLaTeX is a set of GNU Make and Perl scripts that may be used to compile LaTeX projects. AutoLaTeX automates the compilation process by calling (pdf)latex and bibtex as they are required. It supports pdflatex, latex, dvips, epstopdf and bibtex. AutoLaTeX also provides a powerful feature for automatic generation of the figures that are included in the LaTeX project: for several figure sources (xfig, dia, umbrello, png, svg, xmi...) AutoLaTeX is able to generate the appropriate PDF picture. AutoLaTeX also supports pstex format generation (from xfig and gnuplot for example). The use of AutoLaTeX on the command line is similar to GNU Make. AutoLaTeX should be called with several targets to run. Location on CTAN: /support/autolatex Summary description: Update of AutoLaTeX due to major bug fixes License type: gpl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Several major bugs are fixed inside the GTK interface of AutoLaTeX. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/autolatex/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=autolatex (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 .

It seems that someone went in my ceiling and did something bad to my power. Fortunately, the power strip died to save the box, and the box appeared to come back up fine. Power strip, we salute you!

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is an improved and enhanced version of the caption package 3. It was adapted to the AMS, beamer, KOMA, NTG, and SMF document classes, the french babel & the frenchle/pro packages; furthermore it supports the floatflt, fltpage, picinpar, picins, threeparttable, and wrapfig package now. Additionally it's now more compatible to version 1.x of the caption package than its precursor. Due to an internal change on how it patches the caption relevant commands, it's also more compatible to the document classes and packages it supports now (and offers an integrated hypcap functionality), but unfortunately also more incompatible to the ones it does not support (yet).

Mechanisms for proper alignment of different components are provided internally. This way the user does not have to care for proper orientation of the elements. Changes in v1.1: * Considerably enhanced labeling of the components. Added new parameter 'labelref' which specifies the reference coordinate system for the label positioning and the rotation of the label. Default is labelref=relgrav, the label point is rotated together with the component, but the label text itself is not rotated. * parameter labelrelative is now obsolete, and replaced by labelref=relative. It will be removed in future versions. * parameter polwidth, bswidth, iwidth and owidth are now obsolete, and replaced by polsize, bssize, innerheight and outerheight for consistency reasons. They will be removed in future versions. * macro polarisation was changed to polarization for consistency reasons. The old notation is obsolete and will be removed in future versions. * fixed bug: filling of all components with 'fillstyle' is now possible. * fixed bug: added some liftpen=1 in the code to fix the look of the lenses and the optgrid. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://tug.ctan.org/tex-archive/graphics/pstricks/contrib/pst-optexp .

CTAN Update: references v4.3d
by CTAN Announcements 02 Sep '07

02 Sep '07

On Thu, 30 Aug 2007 at 16:55 +0200, Volker Kiefel submitted version 4.3d of the references package. Location on CTAN: support/references License: gpl Summary: REFERENCES is bibliographic software for authors of scientific manuscripts and for management of bibliographic data of ARTICLES IN JOURNALS, of BOOKS, of CHAPTERS IN BOOKS and other document types including notes and electronic documents. REFERENCES supports LaTeX including BibTeX. Bibliographic records in MEDLINE format are easily imported. Retrieval of references is possible by keywords, authors' or editors' names, date of publication, title of article, book title, journal name and other data fields. Lists of references and formatted citations in the text can be compiled in any bibliographic style required by the publishers of scientific journals. REFERENCES is provided with a text based console interface compiled for win32-systems and as Linux port. An external text editor is required for editing data. Changes in v4.3d: For books, the ISBN field has been enlarged to 20 characters due to the change of the international standard book number format in 2007. Linux version only: menu options in square brackets may now be highlighted (controlled by the ENABLE_HL variable in the configuration file). A new awk script ``emptylines.awk'' added: removes empty lines from a text file. Bugfix: incorrect assessment of string length (Linux systems with utf-8 encoding) fixed. All changes and recommendations for use of the new version may be found in the history.txt document. The manual (refsdok.pdf) has been updated. _______________________________________________ This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/references/ .
