fncychap version is outdated (1.33 while 1.34 was released in April 2008)

[aquatix]

According to http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fncychap.html , fncychap 1.34 has been out since 2008-04-20. I would like to request an update from the current version 1.33, as the newer version contains two new styles (PetersLenny and Bjornstrup) which I want to use.

I'm running Ubuntu 8.10 with the following version info:

$ apt-cache policy texlive-latex-extra
texlive-latex-extra:
  Installed: 2007.dfsg.2-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 2007.dfsg.2-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 2007.dfsg.2-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com intrepid/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

Thanks in advance!

yes, that is TeX Live 2007 which came out some time ago.

TeX Live 2008 will have that, but it needs loads of work for packaging.

Best wishes

Nottage is the collective name for things which you find a use for
immediately after you've thrown them away. For instance, your
greenhouse has been cluttered up for years with a huge piece of
cardboard and great fronds of gardening string. You at last decide to
clear all this stuff out, and you burn it. Within twenty-four hours
you will urgently need to wrap a large parcel, and suddenly remember
that luckily in your greenhouse there is some cardb...

Yes, I noticed the `2007' part, but as it's the current version in the latest ubuntu (and debian for that matter), I thought I'd request it anyway. I couldn't find the `wishlist' option btw.

Good luck with packaging 2008; I'm willing to betatest it if needed :)

Cheers,

This is solved in TeXLive 2009 which is now in Lucid.
