-\section{Anniversary release}
-
-Yes, it's now 10~years since the first release in this series and, for
-Knuthists, this release also contains \textit{Issue 16}\,!
-
-Meanwhile this \textit{Issue~15} describes the major new features in
-the current release whilst \textit{Issue~16} looks\newline
-a little way into the future of \LaTeX{}.
-
-
-\section{LPPL -- new version}
-
-Most importantly, there is now a new version, 1.3, of the \LaTeX{}
-Project Public Licence. Many of you will\newline
-be thrilled to know that, following the exchange of over 1600 e-mail
-messages dissecting various aspects of its philosophy such as `how
-many angels can appear in the name of a file before it becomes
-non-free', this version\newline
-is now officially a DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) approved license.
-The discussions start at
-\url{http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/debian-legal-200207/threads.html}
-with high traffic throughout August to October~2002 and further
-heated discussions starting in April~2003 and concluding
-around June at
-\url{http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200306/msg00206.html}.
-
-The important features of the new version are useful clarifications in
-the wording, and revised procedures\newline
-for making a change to the Current Maintainer of a package. Special
-thanks to all those people from\newline Debian Legal who worked
-constructively with us\newline
-on this onerous task, especially but not exclusively\newline
-Jeff Licquia and Branden Robinson.
-
-
-\section{Small updates to varioref}
-
-The English has been corrected in \verb|\reftextbefore|
-(an incompatible change). There are other extensions
-such as \verb|\labelformat|, \verb|\Ref|, \verb|\Vref| and \verb|\vpagerefnum|.
-Some Dutch text has also been changed and two\newline
-new options added: \package{slovak} and \package{slovene}.
-
-
-\section{New and more robust commands}
-
-Many of the math mode commands for compound symbols have been made
-robust and a new robust command has been added: \verb|\nobreakdashes|.
-This last is a low-level command, borrowed from the \package{amsmath}
-package, for use only before hyphens or dashes. It prevents the line
-break that is normally allowed\newline
-after the following sequence of dashes.
-
-
-\section{Fixing font sizes}
-
-The new \package{fix-cm} package, by Walter Schmidt, changes the CM font
-definition (\texttt{.fd}) files so that similar design sizes are used
-in both the \texttt{OT1} and \texttt{T1} encodings.
-
-
-\section{Font encodings}
-
-A number of options have been added to the \package{textcomp} package,
-enabling only available glyphs to be used.
-Also, the `NFSS font families' are now divided into five different groups
-according to the subset of glyphs each provides from the full
-collection of symbols in the TS1 encoding.
-Given sufficient information about a font family
-\package{textcomp} will use this in order to limit the\newline
-typesetting to those glyphs that are available.
-
-Use of this mechanism has also enhanced \verb|\oldstylenums|
-to use the current font if possible.
-
-
-\section{Displaying font tables}
-
-With the \package{nfssfont} package you can now
-specify the font to display by giving its `NFSS classification',
-rather than needing to know its external font file's name.
-It is also now possible to generate large collections of font
-tables in batch mode by providing a suitable input file.
-
-
-\section{New input encodings}
-
-The \package{inputenc} package has been extended as follows:
-\package{macce} input encoding
-(Apple Central European),
-thanks to Radek Tryc and Marcin Wolinski; \package{cp1257}\newline
-for Baltic languages; \package{latin10},
-thanks to Ionel Ciob\^{i}c\u{a}.\newline
-The euro symbol has by
-now been added to several encodings:
-\package{ansinew}, \package{cp1250}
-and \package{cp1252} (which also\newline
-has another addition), whilst \package{cp858}
-adds it to \package{cp850}.
-
-
-\section{Unicode input}
-
-Partial, experimental support for text files that use the Unicode
-encoding form UTF-8 is now provided by the option \package{utf8} for
-the \package{inputenc} package.
-
-The only Unicode text file characters supported by the current version
-are those based on the most common inputs for glyphs from the small
-collection\newline
-of standard \LaTeX{} Latin encodings.
-
-
-\section{And finally \ldots\ pict2e}
-
-The old, non-functional version of this package has been removed
- as there is now a fully working version from Hubert G\"a{\ss}lein
- and Rolf Niepraschk. It is described
- in \textit{The \LaTeX{} Manual}.
