CTAN Update: dvdcoll

[CTAN Announcements]

On Fri, 23 Mar 2007 Josef Kleber submitted an update to the 

  dvdcoll

package.

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/dvdcoll
Summary description: A class for typesetting DVD archives
License type: lppl

Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Having lost the overview of my DVD archives, I simply could not remember 
if I already recorded the documentary running on TV that day. I chose to 
recreate the index using LaTeX: the design aim was a hyperlinked and fully 
searchable PDF-document listing my DVDs with all titles, contents, lengths
and so on. Further requirements were support for seasons of tv series and
a list with all faulty or missing programs for rerecording. The dvdcoll
class supports all these requirements.

dvdcoll.cls follows the structure <number><title><length>. As a result, 
the class is not limited to DVDs - you can of course typeset archives of
CD-ROMs, Audio-CDs and so on.

Supported languages at the moment: English, French, German, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, Spanish.

Some help is needed for other languages! ;-)

License: LPPL

new in v1.1: 
 
 - new languages
   dvdcoll.cls now also supports Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish
 
 - new class option pdfencoding
   encoding used in bookmarks and pdf annotations (pdfdocencoding, unicode)
 
 - new command \listofemptydescriptions
   to produce a list with all titles with empty descriptions
 
 - Bugfix:
   now correct output of all non-ASCII characters in pdf annotations by
   switching to correct pdf encoding (see: class option pdfencoding) and
   switching off active characters within environment Dvd
   
 - Bugfix:
   switch to \LoadClass and \DeclareOptionX* to prevent unused global options
   warning
   
 - several minor improvements and bugfixes
   (see: CHANGES)
