CTAN Update: Auto

Date: December 24, 2013 7:57:28 PM CET
Stéphane Galland submitted an update to the AutoLaTeX package. Version number: 28.0 License type: gpl Summary description: Major feature enhancements and bug fixes. Announcement text:
The translator from SVG+layers to PDF is fixed to not create images that are too large for LaTeX lengths. In the previous versions, Inkscape was used to generate an EPS file which is converted to PDF, but in some cases, graphical elements are lost in the PDF file. To avoid this problem, Inkscape is now directly generating the PDF files. AutoLaTeX is now able to output detailled warnings on the CLI. This feature may be enabled with the '--Wall' command line option. Major bugs are fixed: the string encoding when invoking system commands (exec, system, etc.), the enabling state of the Gedit's components.

Auto – Automate compilation of large scale projects

Auto is a set of GNU Make and Perl scripts that may be used to compile projects. Auto automates the compilation process by calling (pdf) and as they are required. It supports pdf, , dvips, epstopdf and . Auto also provides a powerfull feature for automatic generation of the figures that are included in the project: for several figure sources (xfig, dia, umbrello, png, svg, xmi...) Auto is able to generate the appropriate PDF picture. Auto also supports pstex format (from xfig and gnuplot for example) and dot format (from the Graphviz package).

The use of Auto on the command line is similar to GNU Make. Auto should be called with several targets to run.
