CTAN update: preview-latex 0.9.1

On Sun, 3 Apr 2005, David Kastrup uploaded a new version of preview-latex
to CTAN.

Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/preview, support/preview-latex
License: gpl

Here are the release notes:

 > Release notes for version 0.9.1 of the preview-latex package:
 >
 > preview-latex makes LaTeX a tightly integrated component of your
 > editing workflow by visualizing selected source chunks (such as single
 > formulas or graphics) directly as images in the source buffer.
 > You get to have your eye candy and edit it, too.
 >
 > The employed style file preview.sty is independently useful for
 > extraction of selected text elements as images.
 >
 > The package is released under the GNU Public License (GPL) and can be
 > downloaded from <URL:ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/auctex/≥ as a tarball
 > or as RPM files.  At the current point of time, at least GNU
 > Emacs-21.3 under the X window system or XEmacs-21 in version 21.4.10
 > or later, AUCTeX (11.51 or later required for PDF support), a working
 > LaTeX installation and GhostScript are required.  dvipng[1] (version
 > 1.4 or later: teTeX-3.0 works, TeXlive2004 not), a very fast dvi
 > converter, can be used to speed up the conversion.  For Windows[2],
 > MacOS Carbon[3] or native GTK+ toolkit support[4], a developer
 > version[5] of GNU Emacs (to be released as 22.1) is definitely
 > required; for other platforms, use of it is advantageous.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/chessfss
Summary description: a package to handle chess fonts

This package offers commands to use and switch between chess
fonts. It use the LaTeX font selection scheme (nfss).

The package doesn't parse, format and print PGN input like e.g. the 
packages skak or texmate.

The aim of the package is to offer writers of chess packages
a bundle of commands for fonts, so that they don't have
to implement all this commands for themselves.

A normal user can use the package to print e.g. single chess symbols 
and simple diagrams.

Re: CTAN upload notification: noreinserts

On Tue, 5 Apr 2005 Uwe Lück submitted a new, experimental package called

  noreinserts

Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/noreinserts/
Summary description: use \holdinginserts with LaTeX floats in a simple/experimental way.
License type: LaTeX Project

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
LaTeX's figures, tables, and \marginpar's are dangerous for footnotes (and 
probably \enlargethispage). Here is a proposal (a "patch" .sty) to help 
using \holdinginserts in a simple way. It replaces the original problem 
with a new one -- it is an experiment to find out whether the new problem 
is less bad (or it is just a contribution to the discussion, maybe just a 
summary of previous work). The files provide further informations.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks for your upload.
