Stay tuned... + +The latest experimental version of TeXsis is in the beta subdirectory +on the FTP server, ftp://ftp.texsis.org/pub/texsis/beta/ but it is not +mirrored by CTAN. + + ======================== + +25 Oct 2003: + The TeXsis ftp site has moved again, to it's own domain: + + ftp://ftp.texsis.org/texsis + + http://www.texsis.org/ + + [This is currently hosted by noether.vassar.edu.] + + +13 May 2000: + The TeXsis ftp site has been moved to + ftp://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/pub/texsis/ + There is now a TeXsis home page, which is at + http://feynman.physics.lsa.umich.edu/~myers/texsis/ + + +18 December 1997: + + Here is what is new in TeXsis 2.17: + + * Support for using BibTeX to extract references from bibliographic + databases. (Easier to use than in LaTeX!) + + * The ability to change the colors in PostScript output, which is + useful for making overhead transparancies. (The style file + color.txs is a functional superset of colordvi.sty, but also lets + you push/pop the PostScript color stack.) + + * Improvements in the organization of the manual, and slightly updated + installation instructions. Updated Makefile. + + * Change in the format of the .aux file. You shouldn't notice + this, but it will allow the use of tools and packages that use + this file (such as BibTeX) that were formerly only available in + LaTeX. + + * Form letter macros moved to a style file, Formletr.txs. + + Here is what is NOT in TeXsis, but expected in a later release: + + * Babel support for other languages. We had this working with Babel + 3.4, but then the author of Babel made a big revision (probably to + update to LaTeX/2e) and now it doesn't quite work. You can try to + find the older version of Babel if you really want this. + + * Hypertext: I had hyperTeX html links working, but have not + documented it. It seems that work on hyperTeX has either frozen + or changed direction with the anticipated arrival of tex2pdf. + Once I get a chance to read through the proper documentation and + figure out where things are going I will update TeXsis to put in + the proper pdf marks. + + * Alternate citation styles: numbered footnotes (rather than + endnotes) or citation by the label ("citation key"). It's almost + ready, but not quite. + +$Id: NEWS,v 1.1 2000/05/17 01:06:42 myers Exp $ + |
