+\section{Future releases}
+
+We are currently exploring how to best support the very large
+community of individuals, organisations and enterprises that depend on
+the robustness and availability of the current standard \LaTeX{}
+distribution.  The results of this may lead to some changes in the
+regular release schedule and the handling of bug reports during the
+next year.
+
+\section{New release of \textsf{Babel} (required)}
+
+Earlier this year a new release of \textsf{Babel} (3.7) became
+available. You can read about its new features in
+\begin{latexonly}
+  \file{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/}\\
+  \hspace*{4em}\file{latex/required/babel/announce.txt}
+\end{latexonly}
+\begin{htmlonly}
+  \url{http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/babel/announce.txt}
+\end{htmlonly}
+
+One of the bugs that got fixed in this release deals with how labels
+are handled by \LaTeX{}.  Because this part of the kernel is modified
+by \textsf{babel}, the relevant changes need to be coordinated.
+Therefore to use \textsf{Babel} with this release of \LaTeX{} you will
+need to update your version of \textsf{babel} to at least 3.7.
+
+\section{New input encoding \package{latin9}}
+
+The package \package{inputenc} has, thanks to Karsten Tinnefeld, been
+extended to cover the \package{latin9} input encoding.  The
+ISO-Latin~9 encoding is a useful modern replacement for ISO-Latin~1
+that contains a few characters needed for French and Finnish. Of wider
+interest, it also contains the euro currency sign; this could be the
+killer argument for many 8-bit texts to use Latin-9 in the future.
+
+According to a Linux manpage, ISO~Latin-9 supports Albanian, Basque,
+Breton, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Faroese, Finnish,
+French, Frisian, Galician, German, Greenlandic, Icelandic, Irish
+Gaelic, Italian, Latin, Luxembourgish, Norwegian, Portuguese,
+Rhaeto-Romanic, Scottish Gaelic, Spanish and Swedish.\\
+The characters added in \package{latin9} are (in \LaTeX{} notation):\\
+\begin{small}
+\verb| \texteuro  \v S  \v s  \v Z  \v z  \OE  \oe  \" Y |
+\end{small}\\
+They displace the following characters from \package{latin1}:\\
+\begin{small}
+\verb| \textcurrency  \textbrokenbar  \"{}   \'{}   \c{} |\\
+\verb| \textonequarter  \textonehalf  \textthreequarters |
+\end{small}
+
+
+\section{New tools}
+
+The new package \package{trace} provides many commands to control
+\LaTeX{}'s tracing and debugging output, including the excellent new
+information available with \eTeX{} such as the extremely useful
+tracing of local assignments.  You will find it in the tools
+distribution.
+
+It offers the command \verb|\traceon|, which is similar to
+\verb|\tracingall| but suppresses uninteresting stuff such as font
+loading by NFSS (which can go on for pages if you are unlucky).  It
+also offers \verb|\traceoff| to \ldots\ guess what!  Full details are
+in the documented source file, \file{trace.dtx}.
+
+In the base \package{ifthen} package we have added
+the uppercase synonyms \verb|\NOT| \verb|\AND| and \verb|\OR|.
+
+\section{New experimental code}
+
+In \textit{\LaTeX{} News~12} we announced some ongoing work towards a
+`Designer Interface for \LaTeX' and we presented some early results
+thereof.  Since then, at Gutenberg\,2000 in Toulouse and TUG\,2000 in
+Oxford, we described a new output routine and an improved method of
+handling vertical mode material between paragraphs.  In combination
+these support higher quality \emph{automated}\footnote
+                             {The stress here is on automated!}
+page-breaking and page make-up\latex{\\}
+for complex pages---the best yet achieved with \TeX{}!
+
+More recently we have added material to handle the complex front
+matter requirements of journal articles; this was presented at 
+Gutenberg\,2001 in Metz.
+
+A paper describing the new output routine is
