Hi, now that 1.0 is out I would like to ask again about the status of the numpy ebook. Is there any mechanism in place where owners can get the updates? Note that this is not a request to Travis to send me the latest version by private email. That would be inefficient and my need is not that urgent. Nevertheless I think that issue should be settled. Excuse me if I've missed something obvious in that respect. Thanks, Sven ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

There will be an update, soon. I'm currently working on the index, corrections, and formatting issues. The update will be sent in conjunction with the release of 1.0.1 which I am targetting in 2 weeks. Thanks for everybody's patience. If you need an update now, I'm happy to send it to you by private email.

If I may make a suggestion, it would greatly increase the usability of the PDF if it had internal and external clickable links, as well as a PDF table of contents (the one that appears on the left sidebar of acroread). Since I know the original is in Lyx, here's my standard preamble for these kinds of documents, which includes all the goodies for generating such a PDF, with some color and formatting tweaks so that it prints legibly on black and white as well as looking nice on screen. If you add this to your preamble, a simple 'view->pdflatex' should work. I'll be happy to help if you have any issues.

Thanks for the pre-amble. Does it require pdflatex? I use ps2pdf because to generate the shaded boxes and graphics. I could probably try to do it with pdflatex and png files but I haven't tried, yet. -Travis ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?

I just tested it with ps2pdf on a document, and it worked fine. If you have problems, play with commenting (or not) the first option line to hyperref: \usepackage[ %pdftex, % needed for pdflatex In the copy I gave you it's commented out, so it /should/ work for ps2pdf. But I've had documents where I've had to uncomment it, and I think at that point they stop working with ps2pdf, and yes, you lose the usage of PostScript specials in that case (which I use for things like whole-page DRAFT watermarks).

This sounds promising. I actually have had problems printing the guide, every information box showed up completely black except for the emblem. On 11/2/06, Fernando Perez <fperez.net@gmail.com> wrote:

I don't want to be a PITA, but should I have received something now that 1.0.1 is out? I can also offer help with formatting/editing the Lyx source file if that's the problem. cheers, sven
