It has a long history - being developed  in 1993  for Windows 3.1 it&#8217;s now supporting the latest TeX distributions MiKTeX 2.8 and TeX Live 2009 on modern Windows platforms. The interface has been improved but some awaited features like folding and unicode support will come later with version 6.1.<br />
WinEdt is shareware and may be used for an evaluation period of 31 days with full functionality. After that trial period the editor will continue to work but issue reminding messages concerning a registration.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today version 2.31 of TeXShop has been released. TeXShop is a free and open source TeX editor and previewer for Mac OS X written by Richard Koch. The new version requires at least System 10.4 (Tiger) but System 10.5 (Leopard) is strongly recommended.</p>
<p>Some of the changes in 2.31:</p>
<ul>
<li>The &#8220;goto error&#8221; feature has been improved. Now it&#8217;s highlighting the text right before the error (like reported by the TeX compiler) instead of an entire line containing the error making it easier to spot errors, especially when &#8220;soft wrapping&#8221; is used.</li>
<li>The bug concerning the incorrectly drawn toolbar has been fixed as well as other known bugs.</li>
<li>TeXshow now comes with a new SageTeX engine that&#8217;s easier to install and more efficient.</li>
<li>Now the &#8220;Abort&#8221; command works also when ConTeXt is called. That bug of the previous version was fixed by using bash instead of tcsh as scripting language for the internal calling script.</li>
<li>The typesetting can be canceled by a new menu item &#8220;Abort Typesetting&#8221;, a keyboard shortcut is provided too.</li>
<li>Closing the preview window now closes also the pdf file. In previous versions closing the entire document or even quitting TeXshop itself had been necessary for it.</li>
<li>Help sections, latexmk and French localization were slightly improved.</li>
<li>The defective default KeyEquivalents.plist has been repaired.</li>
</ul>
<p>To obtain further information visit</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hideo Umeki has published the version 5.1 of the <a href="http://ctan.org/pkg/geometry">geometry package</a>. 5.1 brings just a bugfix for the <i>pass</i> option, but the version 5, released a few days earlier on Feb 12th, provides some new and very useful features:</p>
<ul>
<li>The page dimensions can be changed now even in the middle of a document. This very often requested feature has been provided by the gmeometric package before. Now you could write \newgeometry{&#8230;} similar to \geometry except that all geometry options used in the preamble would be disabled and the paper-size options like <i>paper=a4paper</i>, <i>landscape</i>, <i>portrait</i> etc. too. Those preamble settings can be restored by \restoregeometry.</li>
<li>The current page dimensions can be saved by \savegeometry and loaded by \loadgeometry.</li>
<li>There&#8217;s a new set of options to specify the layout area: <i>layout</i>, <i>layoutsize</i>, <i>layoutwidth</i>,<br />
<i>layoutheight</i> etc. They help to print the specified layout to paper of a different size. For example the geometry package would use A5 layout for calculation of margins but with the paper size A4 if you use <i>a4paper</i> together with <i>layout=a5paper</i>.</li>
<li>The new driver option <i>xetex</i> has been added and is strongly recommended with XeLaTeX. The driver auto-detection routine has been improved, the workaround with geometry.cfg in TeX Live is no longer necessary.</li>
<li>Papersize presets <i>b0j</i> to <i>b6j</i> for JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) B-series have been added.</li>
<li>If the margin would not be completely specified version 5 behaves differently now in order to determine the unspecified margin, documented in the manual.</li>
<li>The option <i>showframe</i> will cause the page frames to be shown on every page.</li>
<li>The new option <i>showcrop</i> would print cropmarks showing the corners of the layout on every page.</li>
<li>Loading geometry.cfg precedes now the processing of the class options in contrary to the previous versions.</li>
<li>The options <i>compat2</i> and <i>twosideshift</i> have been removed because version 5 is no longer compatible with previous versions.</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The source code of <a href="http://etherpad.com/">EtherPad</a>, a web-based word processor that allows people to work together in real-time, has been <a href="http://etherpad.com/ep/blog/posts/etherpad-open-source-release">released</a> by the developers. Now it&#8217;s possible to run EtherPad on other servers than just etherpad.com. Alternative servers like the swedish <a href="http://piratepad.net/">PiratePad</a> have already been established.</p>
<p>This collaborative editor provides an update speed of twice a second making it very responsive. Though it&#8217;s a plain text editor it could be used to produce LaTeX code collaboratively. There are already semi-automatic solutions <a href="http://uservoice.etherpad.com/pages/22732-how-are-you-using-etherpad-/suggestions/255751-make-export-understand-latex">using perl and ruby</a>. Together with an online compiler EtherPad could be a useful feature in LaTeX discussion forums helping to solve user&#8217;s problems and to develop solutions.</p>
