CTAN Update: mk 2.0
On Tue, 15 Sep 2009, Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the mk package. mk is a Ruby script that, in close collaboration with vpp (short for View and Print PostScript/PDF), is helpful in the cyclic process of editing, viewing, and printing a latex document. Essentially, mk uses the make utility for the management of file dependencies, texi2pdf for compilation, vpp for viewing and printing. Location on CTAN: support/latex_maker License: LPPL - major changes of release 2.0 relative to 1.0: - Perl-script completely rewritten in Ruby - mk has been tested under Linux only - This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/latex_maker/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=mk (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: vpp 2.1
On Tue, 15 Sep 2009, Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the vpp package. Vpp displays a PDF document or a PostScript document (after conversion to pdf using gv, xpdf, or acrobat reader in that order of choice), or perhaps another pdf viewer. One can use the viewer to print the document but, alternatively, leave the viewer and use vpp's facilities to print selected pages to a one- or two-sided hardcopy or an A5-booklet. Can also be used to re-arrange pages in a PDF document. Location on CTAN: support/view_print_ps_pdf License: LPPL - major changes of release 2.1 relative to 2.0: - added option -p specifying the printer name - added option -d telling the printer can print doublesided - better handling of load errors - This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/view_print_ps_pdf/ . More information is at http://tug.ctan.org/info/?id=vpp(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: ctable 1.14
On Tue, 15 Sep 2009, Wybo Dekker submitted an update to the ctable package. ctable.sty provides commands to easily typeset centered or left or right aligned tables and (multiple-)figure floats, with footnotes. Instead of an environment, a command with 4 arguments is used; the first is optional and is used for key,value pairs generating variations on the defaults and offering a route for future extensions. Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/ctable License: LPPL - major changes of v1.14 relative to v1.13): - nosuper propagation to later tables prohibited - added option doinside - use of (obsolete) carom.sty for docs discontinued - empty labels not created - newcolumntype warnings removed - caption package not needed anymore - This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/ctable .
