CTAN Update: pgf / TikZ
Till Tantau submitted an update to the pgf / TikZ package. Version number: 3.0.0 License type: Dual: LPPL and alternatively GPL/GFDL Summary description: A graphics language for TeX Announcement text: -- I am happy to announce version 3.0.0 of TikZ/pgf. After several years of development work in the background, a new version is finally ready. With the big jump in the version number from 2.10 to 3.0.0 a lot of new stuff has been added to TikZ (since the last version, over a thousand lines have been added to the change log...). However, care was taken to make sure that in normal circumstances all old code will still produce the exact same results as it used to. It is impossible to list all the changes and improvements, so let me just point out some hilights: - Arrow Tips: You can now configure the appearance of arrow tip to death and do so on the fly. Arbitrary arrow tips will now even bend along curves since TikZ can now do curvilinear transformations on a very low level. - Syntax Improvements: A lot of small things have been added and improved in the syntax. For instance, nodes can be in front of paths, but now also behind them. There is the new notion of a small picture called a pic, which is something of a mixture of a node and a picture. - A Syntax for Graphs: There is now a new simple syntax for specifying graphs, borrowed from the GraphViz program. It makes it easy to specify graphs and especially trees in a convenient manner. - Graph Drawing Algorithms: TikZ now comes with a large and powerful system for computing the positions of nodes of graphs automatically (you need LuaTeX for this, though). - Data Visualization: There is now an alternative to pgfplots as part of the standard TikZ installation for creating plots. While pgfplots is still the more mature system, the new data visualization system comes with some interesting new ideas. - Driver Support: Support for all mayor backend drivers has been improved. A new, cool thing is the support for dvisvgm, which allows you to create powerful SVG graphics directly from TeX, including the text. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/graphics/pgf/base/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/pgf We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Version number: 2.5.2
License type: gpl
Summary description: Use LuaTeX's built-in METAPOST interpreter
Announcement text:
--
v2.5.2
- Now btex ... etex input from external *.mp files will also
be processed by luamplib. However, verbatimtex ... etex will
be entirely ignored in this case. Introduced at v2.5 but not
announced for a technical issue.
- For the new functionality above, luamplib inspects each and
every .mp input files and make caches if necessary. As this
will sometimes waste time resources uselessly, new macros
\mplibmakenocache{...} and \mplibcancelnocache{...} are
provided, so that users can instruct those input files that
do not need this routine.
- Added a hack to support graph.mp (in fact, format.mp)
- [fix] luamplib now respects percent sign when it is enclosed
by quotes, as it is not a comment sign but a string token.

CTAN Update: Knuth's TeX tune-up of 2014
Donald Knuth has released his so-called TeX tune-up for 2014: new versions of TeX, Metafont, and assorted texware and mfware programs. There are no changes in Computer Modern affecting either glyph shapes or metrics this time. As usual, the changes in general are both very small and very technical, nothing that users (even expert users) need be concerned about. Since I know people will just wonder if I don't describe them, here they are: in TeX, a space was incorrectly omitted after a null control sequence (if you cannot imagine what this is, or even if you can, don't worry about it); and in Metafont, a bit of memory was leaked when a pencircle was transformed into an axially symmetric pen whose polygon has no point on the $x$-axis. An article in the next TUGboat will have all the details. As Knuth says: Users can rest assured that I haven't ``broken'' anything in this round of improvements. Everyone can upgrade at their convenience. The TeX Live development sources will updated in due time, and the TL'14 release will contain the new versions. There is no need for updates in the distributed versions before then. For those who want to look for themselves, the original source for Knuth's files is ftp://ftp.stanford.edu/pub/tex/tex14.tar.gz. (You can compare to the tex08.tar.gz, etc., that are in the same directory.) On CTAN, the directory is systems/knuth/dist. Thanks as ever, Don.

CTAN Update: uowthesistitlepage
Thomas Griffiths submitted an update to the
uowthesistitlepage
package.
Version number: 2.0
License type: lppl
Summary description: Typesets the title page of your thesis in
accordance with the UOW guidelines.
Announcement text:
--
Added \cosupervisor field. The field works the same as
supervisor field, but is off by default. The field can either
be below the supervisor field or next to it. When next to it
the whole block of supervisors is centred as a single unit. The
default position is below the supervisor field, but the
adjacent style can be tuned on with the horizontal option in
the preamble.
Added the horizontal option. This uses a tabular environment to
put two centred columns in a centred table to place the new
\cosupervisor adjacent to the supervisor field. It is off by
default but if you want it on just give horizontal as a option
to the package in the preamble.
Added the report option. Prints a nice little title page for
lab reports and the like. Adjusted the declaration and dummy
text accordingly.
Fixed up the declaration page, reworded it to make it, in my
opinion, a bit neater sounding. Also fixed the declaration for
fullsubject, report and partialsubject so that it is for the
completion of the assessment criteria of \class.
Moved the \vspace{biggap} and \vspace*{fill} so that the
University and School are at the bottom near the date.
Removed some LaTeX crimes: \begin...{centering}
end\{centering}\ to \centering, excess return lines.
Italicised the requirements.
Removed the bold from all but the title.
Changed the wording — The degree is now conferred not awarded.
Added new pagesize proportional measurements for the margins so
that they scale and the title page now works for small pages
(tested to A5, 12 pt).
Removed lmodern package requirement.
Added `Doctor of Philosophy' as the \degree definition if
option phd (or PhD) is given to the package.

CTAN Update: xint
Jean-François Burnol submitted an update to the xint package. Version number: 1.09j License type: lppl Summary description: Expandable operations on long numbers Announcement text: -- 1.09j 2014/01/09 * The core division routines have been re-written for some (limited) efficiency gain, more pronounced for small divisors. As a consequence, the computation with the algorithm given in the user manual of one thousand digits of Pi is three times faster. Some other small improvements elsewhere. * A new macro \xintXTrunc is designed to produce thousands or even tens of thousands of digits of the decimal expansion of a fraction. Although completely expandable it has its use limited to inside an |\edef|, |\write|, |\message|, \dots. It can thus not be nested as argument to another package macro. * \xintexpr..\relax can now be used inside an \edef without the \xintthe prefix converting the internal format into explicit digit tokens; it will expand completely and inhibit the error message about a missing \xintthe. This can significantly speed up the use of \xintexpr in a non-expandable contexts, when dealing with numbers having hundreds of digits. Notice that contrarily to \numexpr for which \the or \number is necessary not only to print but also to trigger the computation, \xintthe is only needed for the printing step (previously \xintexpr was already fully expandable under \romannumeral-`0). * bug-fix: |1.09i| did an unexplainable change to \XINT_infloat_zero which broke the floating point routines for vanishing operands :-(( The first two pages of the user manual give a much clearer view of the aims and abilities of the package.

CTAN Update: hyperxmp
Scott Pakin submitted an update to the hyperxmp package. Version number: 2.4 License type: lppl Summary description: Embed XMP metadata within a LaTeX document Announcement text: -- XMP (eXtensible Metadata Platform) is a mechanism proposed by Adobe for embedding document metadata within the document itself. The metadata are designed to be easy to extract, even by programs that are oblivious to the document's file format. Most of Adobe's applications store XMP metadata when saving files. Now, with the hyperxmp package, it is trivial for LaTeX document authors to store XMP metadata in their documents as well. hyperxmp integrates seamlessly with hyperref and requires virtually no modifications to documents that already exploit hyperref's mechanisms for specifying PDF metadata. The current version of hyperxmp can embed the following metadata as XMP: authors, base URL, contact telephone number/postal address/email address/URL, copyright statement, creation date, document identifier, document instance identifier, file format, keywords, language, LaTeX file name, license URL, metadata writer, PDF version, PDF-generating tool, PDF/A compliance level and version, primary author's position or title, subject/summary, and title. hyperxmp is compatible with pdflatex, latex+dvips+ps2pdf, latex+dvipdfm, xelatex, and lualatex. Version 2.4 of hyperxmp embeds more precise timestamps (when possible), uses proper version 4 UUIDs, provides an \xmptilde macro for including tildes in URLs, and includes better support (thanks to Florian Breitwieser) for producing PDF/A-compliant XMP metadata. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/hyperxmp/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperxmp We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
