+The build infrastructure continues to be maintained, and aleph sources
+and binaries included in TeX Live. This is primarily so that existing
+omega and aleph documents can still be processed. No significant new
+features have been added to Aleph for some years.
+
+20040322: RC2 released.
+ * TeX 3.141592
+ * no more dependency on the Omega 1.15 source tree
+ * rename e-Omega to Aleph
+ * Fix: crash when \overfullrule > 0pt
+ * Fix: \charit gives wrong result
+ * Fix: text is offset when typesetting non-TLT text
+ * Fix: leaders crashing or stalling the program
+ * Add: \boxdir to retrieve or set the direction
+ of a box
+ * Add: \pagerighoffset, \pagebottomoffset to set the
+ right and bottom margin in non-TLT text
+ * Add: a big set of commands to retrieve version
+ info:
+for each feature-set (Omega, eTeX, Aleph), the commands are:
+
+\<featureset>Version the expansion is a list of character
+tokens of category 12 (other) representing the featureset
+version number; (1.15 for \OmegaVersion, 0 (RC2) for
+\AlephVersion, 2.1 for \eTeXVersion) (inherited from Omega)
+
+\<featureset>revision the expansion is a list of character
+tokens of category 12 (other) representing the featureset
+minor version number; (.15 for \Omegarevision, (RC2) for
+\Alephrevision, .1 for \eTeXrevion) (inherited from e-TeX)
+
+\<featureset>version an integer value representing the
+featureset major version number (1 for \Omegaversion, 0 for
+\Alephversion, 2 for \eTeXversion) (inherited from e-TeX)
+
+\<featureset>minorversion an integer value representing the
+featureset minor version number (15 for \Omegaminorversion, 0
+for \Alephminorversion, 1 for \eTeXminorversion) (new)
+
+
+20030524: RC1 released.
+ * Fix: the "overfull box" crash bug
+
+20030106: RC0 released.
+ This release simply provides a binary providing
+ both Omega 1.15 features (all but the XML/SGML ones)
+ and e-TeX 2.1 features.

+Aleph, formerly known as e-Omega, is a project whose aim is to
+provide an extension to Knuth's TeX comprising both Omega 1.15
+and e-TeX 2.1 features. Its main goals are stability, speed and
+power.
