Hello,

I'm happy to annouce the release of Clon version 1.0 beta 11.
Most notable news for this release is the support for CMU-CL.

Grab it here.

I'm happy to announce the first public release of Clon, the Command-Line Options Nuker library for Common Lisp.

Clon currently requires SBCL to work. If you want to help porting it to other implementations, 'grep PORTME **/*' in the sources.

Get it here.

Clon is a library for managing command-line options in standalone Common Lisp applications. It provides a unified option syntax with both short and long names, automatic completion of partial names and automatic retrieval/conversion of option arguments from the command-line, associated environment variables, fallback or default values. Clon comes with a set of extensible option types (switches, paths, strings etc.). Clon also provides automatic generation and formatting of help strings, with support for highlighting on tty's through ISO/IEC 6429 SGR. This formatting is customizable through "themes".

I'm happy to announce FiXme version 4.0

Description
===========
FiXme is a collaborative annotation tool for LaTeX documents. Annotating a
document refers here to inserting meta-notes, that is, notes that do not
belong to the document itself, but rather to its development or reviewing
process. Such notes may involve things of different importance levels, ranging
from simple "fix the spelling" flags to critical "this paragraph is a lie"
mentions. Annotations like this should be visible during the development or
reviewing phase, but should normally disapear in the final version of the
document.

FiXme is designed to ease and automate the process of managing collaborative
annotations, by offering a set of predefined note levels and layouts, the
possibility to register multiple note authors, to reference annotations by
listing and indexing etc. FiXme is extensible, giving you the possibility to
create new layouts or even complete "themes", and also comes with support for
AUC-TeX.

I'm happy to annouce the first public version of the DoX package for LaTeX2e.

The doc package provides LaTeX developers with means to describe the usage and the definition of new macros and environments. However, there is no simple way to extend this functionality to other items (options or counters for instance). The dox package is designed to circumvent this limitation.

Today, I just released :o( Smilisp :o), a new dialect of Lisp featuring a new paradigm called "Emotional Programming". This is truely a revolution in the Lisp world...

The logo is not exactly like that, but my blogging software wants to put smileys everwhere...

Get it here and enjoy !

I'm happy to announce the release of FiNK 2.1.1. This is a bugfix/documentation only release.

FiNK is a LaTeX2e package that keeps track of the files included (\input or \include) in your documents.

What's new in this version:
** Fix trailing whitespace in \fink@restore
** Added some hints about filenames with special characters

I'm happy to announce the next edition of FiXme: version 3.3

New in this release:
* Document incompatibility between marginal layout and the ACM SIG classes
* Honor twoside option in marginal layout
* Support KOMA-Script classes version 2006/07/30 v2.95b
* Documentation improvements
* Fix incompatibility with AMS-Art
* Fix bug in \fixme@footnotetrue


FiXme provides you with a way of inserting fixme notes in documents. Such notes can appear in the margin of the document, as index entries, in the log file and as warnings on stdout. It is also possible to summarize them in a list, and in the index. When you switch from draft to final mode, any remaining fixme note will be logged, but removed from the document's body. Additionally, critical notes will abort compilation with an informative message. FiXme also comes with support for AUC-TeX.

I'm happy to announce the next edition of FiNK, the LaTeX2e File Name Keeper, version 2.1.

This package looks over your shoulder and keeps track of files \input'ed
(the LaTeX way) or \include'ed in your document. You then have a
permanent access to the directory, name and extension of the file
currently being processed through several macros. FiNK also comes with
support for AUC-TeX.

This version fixes a bug preventing proper expansion in math mode.
