    Silas S. Brown submitted updates to the

    latex-papersize

    package.

    Version: 1.69
    License: apache2

    Summary description: Calculate LaTeX settings for any font and paper size

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    Version: 1.68 :

    Documentation update:

    1. expand instructions to cover distros that lack a "python" command
    or need absolute path

    2. update poster package URL

    3. convert docstring to Markdown, and add automatic conversion to TeX
    and PDF, the output of which is now included


    Version: 1.69 :

    This version adds latex-papersize.sty so you can import
    latex-papersize directly into your .tex file without needing
    to run the Python script at all.

    The new .sty file works only for modern LaTeX engines with PDF
    back-ends, i.e. pdflatex, xelatex and lualatex.

    For original latex + dvips, please continue to use the Python script.

    Documentation has been updated accordingly.
