PatchesVersion 6.76 (patch 6) 14-Jan-2005This patch includes improvements of Template library required to enjoy BaKoMa TeX Word (GoodTemplate filter).Version 6.75 (patch 5) 7-Jan-2005Improved editing documents in OEM (non-ANSI) encodings such as CP850, CP852, CP866, etc.It includes automatical conversion to proper ANSI encoding and back where it is needed. Conversion is applyed for
Version 6.74 (patch 4) 23-Dec-2004Options/Install OpenType, TrueType, and PostScript fontsRefined handling TrueType fonts with encoding caveats. TTFINFO.EXE uses glyph name like `uniXXXX' for corrupt glyph names. Version 6.73 (patch 3) 3-Dec-2004Refined DVIPS output.The aim is to avoid bug existing in font rendering of GhostScript 8.x series. The problem has been investigated with GhostScript 8.14, 8.15, and 8.33, that looks such that GhosScript is crashed. Version 6.72 (patch 2) 1-Dec-2004

DVI Forward/Reverse Search - Improvements in Character Precision Source Info TrackingImproved DVI Reverse Search has two most noticeable advantages:
Support for JPEG/CMYK Images (V 6.63 - 04/10/23, Private)
Updated TeX4HT (V 6.64 - 04/11/05, Private)Updated TeX4HT according to development snapshot of 2004/11/04.It is because release available on CTAN have too noticeable bugs. It has been done to resolve some bugs in generating MathML output. Updated ModulesTo update the system from V 6.62 you can usequicksetup.exe or programs/bkmtex.exe with fonts/psfonts.bkz Earlier PatchesVersion 6.62 (15-Oct-2004)
Version 6.61 (5-Oct-2004)
Version 6.60 (15-Sep-2004)
General Update of LaTeX and Contributed PackagesLaTeX and most of contributed packages (more then 600 packages) have been updated by using CTAN snapshot of 27-Aug-2004.
Configuration of Graphics and Color packages has been changed. Document Template Library and Document PropertiesBaKoMa TeX 6.60 includes more then 70 document templates organized up by document types: Article, Book, Report, Presentation, Letter, Fax, Memo, CV, Thesis, etc. Access to this template library is provided via a dialog appeared when you try to open not existing file (new file). The dialog shows template directory via treeview control and provides preview of currently selected template.Document Properties dialog is displayed after desired template is chosen. This dialog lets you choose document class options in friendly way. For some document classes preview of some options is provided. For example, for Prosper package, it provides preview of chosen background style. In fact, it is very convenient to choose desired style for your slides. In advance, Document Properties dialog may be launched anytime later via `Insert|Document Properties' menu command. Another Improvements
Update of BaKoMa TeXThere are following changed installation modules in BaKoMa TeX 6.60
In other side, you can made update of BaKoMa TeX to 6.60 without updating LaTeX by using just `programs/bkmtex.exe' module. However, it is impossible to update LaTeX without updating BaKoMa TeX to 6.60, because of changed configuration of Graphics and Color packages.
New LaTeX has changes whose may violate functionality of some macro packages.
One of known is `footbib' - it says about changed output routine.
Version 6.50 (5-Jun-2004)BaKoMa TeX 6.50 introduces advanced features in Font Setup Wizard (`Options|Install OpenType, TrueType, ...' menu option).Now it generates two new kinds of font metrics:
Omega Font Metrics (OFM)BaKoMa Font Setup Wizard now can generate OFM files for Unicoded fonts in OpenType and TrueType font formats.Just check on `Generate Unicoded Fonts' option (by default it is checked off). Generated fonts are registered for Lambda under UT1 encoding. So, that generated fonts may be used in Lambda like following:
\usepackage[UT1]{fontenc}
\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{mns} % `mns' - family choosen in generation time.
In advance, set of TFM files is generated
so that every Unicode slot is placed into separate TFM file.
In such way, these fonts may be also used in Standard (La)TeX
by using such packages as UCS or CJK,
whose provide access to different unicode slots via different
TFM files.
Math FontsBaKoMa Font Setup Wizard now generates fonts in OT1 and OML LaTeX encodings, that are suitable to typeset letters, digits, greeks (if present) in math formulas. These fonts are generated as expert fonts with `9t' and `9m' suffixes, and they are configured in FD files under family with `x' suffix. So, to use them from LaTeX you can say:
% NOTE: `mns' - family choosen in generation time.
\DeclareSymbolFont{letters}{OML}{mnsx}{m}{it}
\SetSymbolFont{letters}{bold}{OML}{mnsx}{bx}{it}
\DeclareSymbolFont{operators}{OT1}{mnsx}{m}{n}
\SetSymbolFont{operators}{bold}{OT1}{mnsx}{bx}{n}
NOTE: gaps in such fonts are substituted by Computer Modern fonts.
Of course, it is far from ideal.
However, it is better then missed symbols,
because one symbol lost in math formula may be unnoticeable for publisher.
Anyway, only complete enough fonts should be used for math formulas.
Fixed Bugs Reported by Users.
Version 6.40 (23-Mar-2004)
Dynamical Preview -- Dual Cursor.Most important improvement in Dynamical Preview is dual cursor. In other words, you will see two carets (cursors): one in text editing window, another in DVI preview window. These carets are moved synchroniously. Farthermore, selection in one window is automatically synchronized with selection in another window.Farthermore, DVI window is not only for preview now. When caret is flashing in DVI window you can use arrow keys to move it inside DVI window. In this case text window will have static caret which will be moved synchroniously with caret in DVI window. SHIFT+arrow keys or Text Select Tool lets you select desired region in DVI window, which will be automatically propagated to text window. Farthermore, in DVI window you can enter characters and press such keys as BkSp, Del, and all other keys not reserved by DVI Viewer. These keys will be passed into text editor so that changed text will be automatically reprocessed by TeX and redisplayed in DVI window. In fact, it will looks such that you edit your document directly in DVI window. This feature of Dynamical Preview may be useful to edit formulas, tabular's, tabbing's, etc. DVI Forward/Reverse Search -- Character Precision Positioning.Character precision links between TeX source and DVI output (used in Dynamical Preview) are also used for charcater precision DVI Forward/Reverse Search. New commands are introduced:
DVI Mouse Tools -- Text Selection.BaKoMa TeX 6.40 provides standard way for using mouse in DVI Viewer.There are several tools: Hand, Zoom, Graphics Copy, and Text Select. Any tool may be selected via Tools menu or toolbar for handling by left button. In advance, `Options|Viewer Preferences|Mouse' dialog lets you select any tool for handling by right and middle buttons.
Text Select is new tool
(other tools was available in slightly another way). Supported TeX Processors.
Language Support Packages.In BaKoMa TeX 6.40 we open new directory Language which includes language support packages.
In this reason, all fonts appeared in these packages has been removed from Fonts directory. These modules are not included into QuickSetup, because they are out of common use.
NOTE: European languages such as English, German, Spanish, French,
and other languages In future, this directory will be extended to support another languages. Version 6.30 (7-Feb-2004)Importing PDF - ReleaseMost important improvement in BaKoMa TeX 6.30 is support for importing PDF files.LaTeX users may use `\includegraphics' command to import PDF files. Additional option page (graphicx package) lets you select page to import. For example:
\includegraphics[page=47]{pdfspec14.pdf}
Features of importing PDF files:
In advance, we have added `\pdfliteral' command into graphicx package. In fact, it is defined in BaKoMa specific driver for graphicx package. This command allows drawing a graphics by using PDF page description commands. This feature isn't restricted by PDF generation. Graphics drawn by `\pdfliteral' command will be visible on display and printer, and it will be well converted into SVG, HTML, and PostScript. Of cource, this command isn't so powerful as Postscript sprcials. However, `\pdfliteral' command may be useful for porting some macro package hardly related on PDF output. Graphics
Version 6.20 (1-Jan-2004)
Fancy DVI Page Layout - Continuous ViewPage Layout may be changed via `View|Page Layout' submenu or via toolbar.Default page layout may be defined under Display tab of Viewer Preferences dialog. DVIEW supports following page layouts:
Importing more Graphical Formats - FIG, PDFImporting FIG files.LaTeX users may just say: \includegraphics{foo.fig}Additional key font (graphicx package) lets you define default font: \includegraphics[font=Helvetica]{foo.fig} Importing PDF files. [Preliminary implementation]LaTeX users may just say: \includegraphics{foo.pdf}Additional key page (graphicx package) lets you choose page other then first: \includegraphics[page=5]{foo.pdf}
Support for importing PDF files is yet not complete. Improved Font Support
New Packages
Version 6.15 (17-Nov-2003)This version has Patch status and may be freely installed by holders of NON-UPGRADABLE license for BaKoMa TeX 6.10.
Improvements:
Updated Modules:Quicksetup.exe [39 MB] is updated and includes all changes.To minimize downloading BaKoMa TeX may be updated by using two following modules:
Version 6.10 (1-Nov-2003)Graphics
BibEdit
Version 6.0 (1-Sep-2003)Using ATM built in Windows 2000 and XP to render Postscript Type 1 fonts.Main improvement in this version is displaying Postscript Type 1 fonts (PFB/PFA) via conversion into OpenType fonts with Postscript outlines (OTF). Most important advantages of this approach are:
Dialog opened by `Options|Font Convertor Cache' editor command
lets you control some features of conversion into OTF.
Animated Presentations - Interactive features in SVG.STY.Few interactive features were added to SVG.STY:
