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.

François Pantigny submitted an update to the nicematrix package. Version: 7.12 2026-10-07 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Improve the typesetting of matrices and tabulars with PGF Announcement text: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- New key 'color-of-false' for the color of the "false rows" created by \FalseRow and the "false columns" created by the letter F. New key 'empty' for the command \Block. When that key is in force, all the cells of the block will be considered as empty, and that impacts, for example, the computation of the "corners" (when the key 'corners' is used). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/nicematrix More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/nicematrix -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.

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.

It decodes the GIF in pure Lua (in-process with LuaLaTeX, via texlua and shell escape with pdfLaTeX and XeLaTeX), so no external programs are needed, and hands the frames to the animate package with a timeline that follows the GIF's own delays, disposal, transparency and loop count. Frames are stored as compact PNG deltas and cached; options select frame ranges, speed, number of plays, downsampling, or a still frame (automatic in beamer handouts). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/animategif More information is at https://ctan.org/pkg/animategif -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the upload.
