-\section{Welcome to \LaTeXNews}
-
-An issue of \emph{\LaTeXNews} will accompany every future release of
-\LaTeX. It will tell you about important events, such as major bug
-fixes, newly available packages, or any other \LaTeX{} news.
-
-\section{\LaTeXe---the new \LaTeX{} release}
-
-The most important news is the release of \LaTeXe, the new version of
-the \LaTeX{} software. This version has better support for fonts,
-graphics and colour, and will be actively maintained by the \LaTeX3
-project team. Upgrades will be issued every six months, in June and
-December.
-
-\section{Why a new \LaTeX?}
-
-Over the years many extensions have been developed for \LaTeX. This
-is, of course, a sure sign of its continuing popularity but it has had
-one unfortunate result: incompatible \LaTeX{} formats came into use at
-different sites. Thus, to process documents from various places, a
-site maintainer was forced to keep \LaTeX{} (with and without \NFSS),
-\SLiTeX, \AmSLaTeX, and so on. In addition, when looking at a source
-file it was not always clear for which format the document was written.
-
-To put an end to this unsatisfactory
-situation a new release of \LaTeX{} was produced.
-It brings all such extensions back under a single format and thus
-prevents the proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of
-\LaTeX~2.09. The new release was available for several months as a
-test version, and the final release of 1~June officially
-replaces the old version.
-
-\section{Processing documents with \LaTeXe}
-
-Documents written for \LaTeX~2.09 will
-still be read by \LaTeXe. Any such document is run in
-\emph{\LaTeX~2.09 compatibility mode}.
-
-Unfortunately, compatibility mode comes with a price: it can run
-up to 50\% slower than \LaTeX~2.09 did. If you want to run your document
-in the faster \emph{native mode}, you should try replacing the line:
-\begin{verbatim}
- \documentstyle[<options>,<packages>]{<class>}
-\end{verbatim}
-with:
-\begin{verbatim}
- \documentclass[<options>]{<class>}
- \usepackage{latexsym,<packages>}
-\end{verbatim}
-Unfortunately, this will not always work, because some \LaTeX~2.09
-packages will only work in \LaTeXe{} compatibility mode. You should find
-out if there is a \LaTeXe{} version of the package available.
-
-\LaTeXe{} native mode also gives access to the new features of \LaTeXe,
-described in \emph{\LaTeXe{} for authors}.
-
-\section{New packages}
-
-\LaTeXe{} has much better support for graphics, colour, fonts, and
-multi-lingual typesetting. The following software should be available
-from the distributor who brought you \LaTeXe:
-
-\begin{citations}
-\item[babel] for typesetting in many languages.
-\item[color] for colour support.
-\item[graphics] for including images.
-\item[mfnfss] for using bitmap fonts.
-\item[psnfss] for using Type~1 fonts.
-\item[tools] other packages by the \LaTeX3 team.
-\end{citations}
-The packages come with full documentation, and are also described in
-\emph{\LaTeX: A Document Processing System} or
-\emph{The \LaTeX{} Companion}.
-
