+=========================================================================
+
+== PURPOSE ==
+
+This package, initially a collection of Michael Covington's private macros, provides
+numerous minor LaTeX enhancements for linguistics, including multiple diacritics on
+the same letter, interlinear glosses (word-by-word translations), Discourse
+Representation Structures, and example numbering.
+
+== CONTENTS ==
+
+The package consists of the following files:
+
+* covington.sty: the actual package
+* covington.tex: the documentation
+* README (this file)
+
+== CHANGES ==
+
+* Version 2.3 (2019-06-21):
+ - Add preamble option to subexamples environment.
+ - Allow to use covington together with the drs package.
+ - Documentation fixes and restructuring.
+
+* Version 2.2 (2019-06-04):
+ - Add new option owncounter that makes covington use an own counter for examples
+ (rather than the equation counter).
+ - Add starred \exampleno* command that outputs the current example number value
+ without stepping it.
+ - Add macros \covexamplefs and \covexamplenofs for global setting of example text
+ markup.
+
+* Version 2.1 (2019-05-12):
+ - Add new option noglossbreaks that tries to prevent page breaks within glosses.
+ - Add \glosspreamble command and preamble gloss macro option for arbitrary text
+ preceding glosses.
+
+* Version 2.0 (2018-12-10):
+ - Add new gloss macros (\digloss and \trigloss) for a more convenient,
+ flexible and robust gloss insertion.
+ - Add \glot command for customizable gloss translation line,
+ together with customization possibilities.
+ - Add possibility to customize \sentence font setting.
+ - Add \lexp, \lcon and \lmean markup macros.
+
+* Version 1.8 (2018-12-07):
+
+ - Fix font markup of second gloss line (do not force rm).
+ - Add possibility to customize gloss line font setting.
+ - Add possibility to customize example number display.
+
+* Version 1.7 (2018-09-08):
+
+ - Fix alignment in subexamples.
+ - Improve manual.
+
+* Version 1.6 (2018-09-07):
+
+ - Introduce new environment subexamples for sub-examples such as 1a.
+ - Introduce new command \pxref that outputs references to examples including
+ parentheses.
+
+* Version 1.5 (2018-08-24):
+
+ - Introduce new option "keeplayout" that allows to opt-out the
+ layout presettings covington does (\raggedbottom, \textfloatsep).
+
+* Version 1.4 (2017-05-23):
+
+ - Introduce a new macro \twodias that supersedes the rather odd \twoacc
+ (which is kept for backwards compatibility).
+
+ - Introduce macro \SetDiaOffset for more convenient setting of vertical
+ distance in stacked diacritics.
+
+ - LaTeX 2.09 is no longer officially supported (it might continue to work,
+ but is not tested).
+
+ - Documentation file converted to un*x line endings.
+
+* Version 1.3 (2017-04-05):
+
+ - Gloss variants \xgll and \xglll that work inside macros (such as footnotes)
+ but require explicit gloss line end markers (\xgle).
+
+ - Provide way to globally alter indentation and vertical distance of reflists
+ (new lengths \reflistindent, \reflistparsep and \reflistitemsep).
+
+* Version 1.2 (2016-08-26):
+
+ - New length \examplenumbersep to adjust (increase) the horizontal space
+ between example number and example text.
+
+ - Add some more info about bibliography generation.
+
+* Version 1.1a (2016-07-07):
+
+ - Fix encoding problem in documentation and some typos. No change in functionality.
+
+* Version 1.1 (2016-07-06):
+
+ - The package now uses NFSS font commands if available (fallback for LaTeX 2.09
+ is still provided).
+
+ - Work around clash with classes/packages that define their own example and
+ examples environments (most notably the beamer class) as well as execise
+ environments. The covington package no longer blindly attempts to define
+ these environments. By default, it does not define them if they are already
+ defined (covington's own environments, however, are still available via aliases).
+ By means of a new package option, a redefinition can also be forced.
+
+ - New length \twoaccsep allows for the adjustment of the distance between stacked
+ accents.
+
+ - Update manual.
+
+ - New maintainer: J. Spitzmueller.
+
+ - License has been changed to LPPL (in agreement with M. Covington).
+
+ - Introduce version numbers. Arbitrarily, we start with 1.1.
