CTAN Update: The caption package v3.0n
by CTAN Announcements 10 Mar '07

10 Mar '07

On Fri, 9 Mar 2007, Axel Sommerfeldt submitted an update to the caption package. The caption package provides many ways to customise the captions in floating environments like figure and table, and cooperates with many other packages. Includes rotating captions, sideways captions, continued captions (for tables or figures that come in several parts). A list of compatibility notes, for other packages, is provided in the documentation. The package also provides the caption outside float facility, in the same way that simpler packages like capt-of do. The package supersedes caption2. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/caption/ Summary description: Customising captions in floating environments License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a bugfix release of the caption package 3.0: - Bugfix: captionbox changed from parbox[t] to parbox[b] - Accidentally the KOMA-Script support got broken in v3.0m, fixed (See changelog for details.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/caption/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=caption (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 .

CTAN Update: KOMA-Script
by CTAN Announcements 05 Mar '07

05 Mar '07

On Fri, 2 Mar 2007, Markus Kohm submitted an update to the KOMA-Script package. Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/koma-script Summary description: KOMA-Script is a versatil LaTeX2e bundle License type: lppl Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script 2007/02/03 v2.97 Copyright (c) Markus Kohm , 1994-2007 -------------------------------------------------------------------- KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not stop with the features known from the standard classes, but it extends the possibilities in order to provide the user an almost complete working environment. -------------------------------------------------------------------- For installation see INSTALL.txt (english) or INSTALLD.txt (german, UTF-8). -------------------------------------------------------------------- Changes at v2.97: - page break improvements at toc - font of minisec may be configured - new option chapteratlists to add chapter headings to at least lof and lot - fixed at scrlttr2: refline=wide and refline=narrow had inverse meaning - auto dot feature fixed - option cleardoublepage fixed - problem with automark{subsubsection} fixed - setcapwidth does not longer allow with less than 0pt - some minor fixes Changes at v2.96: - Commands, that have an internal and an external name (defined using let@as@internal@defined) may optional be defined only internal (using option internalonly). The backslash of the macro name has to be replaced by a slash at the option argument (e.g. internalonly=/ifvtex/ifundefined). - typearea fix: set opskip. - typearea: warn if ypearea is used at any group. - maketitle sets parskip etc. to avoid strange results and messages. - xkeyval workaround: preserve CurrentOption from being destroyed by xkeyval's setkeys - typearea: uses ProcessOptions* instead of ProcessOptions so options are executed at usage order instead of definition order. - fix: usekomafont of an alias element does work - new: every font size may be set up - fix: parsep at lists (instead of parskip) - new at scrlttr2: option backaddress=plain to avoid underlined back sending address - new at scrlfile: ReplaceClass, ReplacePackage, ReplaceInput - some manual fixes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://dante.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script .
