For the upload of version 11.81 of the preview package at CTAN I prepared special release notes which should be better suited for the purpose than AUCTeX's release notes. Here is the content of the mail I sent to CTAN in case somebody wants to use it in the future: --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Hello, I have uploaded preview-11.81.tar.gz to the incoming directory of ftp.dante.de. Its license is the GPL. I would recommend unpacking preview-11.81.tar.gz in the directory macros/latex/contrib/preview/ It contains just README, preview.dtx, preview.ins, and preview.pdf. Older versions of the package can be deleted. Here are the release notes: The main purpose of the preview package is the extraction of selected elements from a LaTeX source, like formulas or images, into separate pages of a DVI file. This works with DVI files postprocessed by either Dvips and Ghostscript or dvipng, but it also works when you are using PDFTeX for generating PDF files. Current uses of the package include the preview-latex package for WYSIWYG functionality in the AUCTeX editing environment, generation of previews in LyX, as part of the operation of the ps4pdf package, the tbook XML system and some other tools. The preview package is being developed along and distributed with preview-latex. With the integration of preview-latex into AUCTeX as of version 11.81, the preview package became part of AUCTeX as well. It can therefore be obtained as part of AUCTeX distribution files available at <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/>. CTAN provides the standalone preview package at <CTAN:macros/latex/contrib/preview>. For more information about the preview package please refer to the home page of AUCTeX at <URL:http://www.gnu.org/software/auctex/>. Version 11.81 of the preview package is mainly a bug fix release accompanying the new version of AUCTeX and adopting its versioning scheme. -- Ralf Angeli, for the AUCTeX team --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- -- Ralf _______________________________________________ auctex-devel mailing list auctex-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/auctex-devel
