-\section{Yearly release cycle}
-
-We announced in \textit{\LaTeX{} News~11} that we intended to switch
-to a 12-monthly release schedule. With the present (June~2000)
-release, this switch is being made: thus the next release of \LaTeX{}
-will be dated June~2001. We shall of course continue, as in the past,
-to release patches as needed to fix significant bugs.

-\section{PSNFSS: \small Quote of the Month}
-
-\begin{quote}
- You should say in the \LaTeX{} News that Walter Schmidt has taken over
- \PSNFSS{} from me. It gives me a certain pleasure to be able to draw a
- line under that part of my life\ldots

-\noindent
-The \PSNFSS{} material, which supports the use\latex{\\}
-of common PostScript fonts with \LaTeX{}, has been thoroughly updated.
-Most noticeably, the \package{mathpple} package, which used to be
-distributed separately, is now part of the basic \PSNFSS{} bundle;
-this package provides mathematical typesetting with the Palatino
-typeface family. In addition, numerous bugs and flaws have been fixed
-and the distribution has been `cleaned up'. The file
-\file{changes.txt} contains a detailed list of these changes.
-\latex{\looseness=-1} %%!!!!! It worked!
-
-The documentation (in \file{psnfss2e.pdf}) has been completely
-rewritten to provide a comprehensive introduction to the use
-of PostScript fonts.
-
-Notice that the new \PSNFSS{} needs updated files for font metrics,
-virtual fonts and font definitions. If you received the new
-version~(8.1) as part of a complete \TeX{} system then these new font
-files should also have been installed. However, if you intend to
-install or update \PSNFSS{} yourself, please read the instructions in
-the file \file{00readme.txt} of the new \PSNFSS{} distribution.
-
-Support for commercial PostScript fonts, such as
-Lucida~Bright, has been removed from the basic distribution;
-it is now available from \ctan{}:
-\begin{latexonly}
- \file{\ctanhttp macros/latex/\\
- contrib/supported/psnfssx}.

-\section{New AMS-\LaTeX{}}
-
-Version 2.0 of AMS-\LaTeX{} was released on December 1, 1999. It can
-be obtained via \url{ftp://ftp.ams.org/pub/tex/} or
-\url{http://www.ams.org/tex/amslatex.html}, as well from \ctan{}:
-\begin{latexonly}
- \file{\ctanhttp macros/latex/\\
- required/amslatex}.
-\end{latexonly}
-\begin{htmlonly}
- \url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/required/amslatex}.
-\end{htmlonly}
-
-This release consists chiefly of bug fixes and consolidation of the
-existing features. The division of AMS-\LaTeX{} into two main parts
-(the math packages;\latex{\\}
-the AMS document classes) has been made more pronounced.
-The files \file{diffs-m.txt}, \file{diffs-c.txt},
-\file{amsmath.faq}, and \file{amsclass.faq} describe the\latex{\\}
-changes and address some common questions.
-
-The primary documentation files remain \file{amsldoc.tex}, for the
-\package{amsmath} package, and \file{instr-l.tex}, for the AMS
-document classes.\latex{\\}
-The documentation for the \package{amsthm} package,\latex{\\}
-however, has been moved from \file{amsldoc.tex}\latex{\\}
-to a separate document \file{amsthdoc.tex}.

-\section{New input encoding \package{latin4}}
-
-The package \package{inputenc} has, thanks to Hana Skoumalov\'a,
-been extended to cover the \package{latin4} input encoding; this
-covers Baltic and Scandinavian languages as well as Greenland
-Inuit and Lappish.

-\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{}!
-
-A paper describing the new output routine is
-\begin{latexonly}
- at\\
- \file{http://www.latex-project.org/papers/xo-pfloat.pdf%
- \hspace*{-16pt}}\\
-\end{latexonly}
-\begin{htmlonly}
- at \url{http://www.latex-project.org/papers/xo-pfloat.pdf}.
-\end{htmlonly}
-All code examples and documentation are available
-\begin{latexonly}

- \file{http://www.latex-project.org/code/experimental/%
- \latex{\hspace*{-5pt}}}.\\[3pt]
-\end{latexonly}
-\begin{htmlonly}
- at \url{http://www.latex-project.org/code/experimental/}.
-
-\end{htmlonly}
-This directory has been extended to contain
-\begin{description}
- \item[galley] Prototype implementation of the interface\latex{\\}
- 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[xoutput] A prototype implementation of the new output routine
- as described in the \texttt{xo-pfloat.pdf} paper. Expected
- availability: at or shortly after\latex{\\}
- the TUG\,2000 conference.
