CTAN update: movie15

On Fri, 1 Jul 2005 Alexander Grahn submitted an update to the

   movie15

This package defines \includemovie with PDF-1.5 compatibility.  Option
'autoplay' causes the media clip to be started right after the page has
loaded. This is useful for side by side movie clips to be played back
synchronously.

License type: lppl

Thanks for the update.

UK TeX FAQ, version 3.14

I have just installed at Cambridge this version of the UK FAQ; I have
update both the web entry (http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq) and the CTAN
directory help/uk-tex-faq.

This is mostly a consolidation release, but see CHANGES-3.14, below.

Note, I do not intend that the next release should be 3.141; I
entertain some hopes that the next release will incorporate a new
Web-access mechanism that I have in sketch form ... in which case the
release will be called 4.0.

Robin Fairbairns

UK TeX FAQ maintainer, for the CTAN team

CHANGES-3.14

Changes in version 3.14

New answers:
  Label breaklinks: why hyperlinks don't break under dvips
  Label cmdstar: defining a LaTeX command with an optional *
  Label errmissitem: what to do about "perhaps a missing item"  
  Label minxampl: how to write a minimal example of a problem
  Label plninltx: pros and cons about using non-LaTeX commands in LaTeX
  Label wrongpn: the unreliability of \thepage

Revised answers:
  Label archives: edited out things we no longer do, removed fine detail
                  of archive locations (has been wrong for some time)...
