-\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

- for manipulating vertical material in galleys.
- \item[xinitials] Prototype implementation of the interface\latex{\\}
- for paragraph initials (needs the \texttt{galley} package).
- \item[xtheorem] Contributed example using the \texttt{template}
- package to provide a designer interface for theorem environments.
- \item[xor] A prototype implementation of the new output routine
- as described in the \texttt{xo-pfloat.pdf} paper.
- \item[xfrontm] A prototype version of
