This does not apply to + any personal correspondence. + + Status: + + - There have been extensive changes to all "*.sty" files. + - Many minor errors have been fixed. + - There is a new file "aedpatch.sty". + - The tentative features of version 2.06 have been incorporated. + - The command processing has been completely reworked and is + believed to be more robust. + - The font has not changed. + - The user manual has not yet been updated; visible changes are + minor. + + New features: + + - ArabTeX is now compatible with the EDMAC package for critical + editions (see TUGboat 11/1, 623-643 (1990)). Just load ArabTeX + *after* loading EDMAC. The necessary extensions will be loaded + automatically via "aedpatch.sty". + - All arguments of EDMAC commands are considered "Roman" text but + may contain arabic insertions. + + Changes and extensions: + + - Arabic insertions may now also contain commands. + - Most Plain TeX or LaTeX commands that make sense in an arabic + environment are now allowed, as well as in arabic insertions. + - Font, mode and size changing commands obey the normal grouping + rules. + - The commands \footnote and \marginpar work now both in Plain TeX + and LaTeX mode; observe the different calling conventions! + - The \marginpar command inside arabic text works also with Plain + TeX, analogous to the LaTeX \marginpar command; marginal notes + always go to the right margin. If this feature is used, the user + may have to adjust the parameters \marginparwidth, \marginparsep, + and \hsize accordingly. + - The new options \accentshigh and \accentslow influence the + positioning of the diacritical marks. \accentslow is the default. + - The new options \oldtanwin and \newtanwin influence the position + of : on the last consonant or on the final + if applicable. Defaults are language dependent. + - A group of arabic words can be emphasized by overlining; this is + effected by \emphasize {arabic words}. + - A group of arabic words, if enclosed in curly braces, is not + split across a line boundary. + - A final silent in Persian can be denoted , , or . + + Known problems: + + - None at present. + + How to move from versions 2.05 - 2.06 to version 2.07: + + - Replace all "*.sty" files + - The fonts "nash14" and "nash14bf" are unchanged. + + How to move from versions 2.00 - 2.04 to version 2.07: + + - As above; add the manual files "arabdoc*.*" in the directory + "report" and process them to get the User Manual. + + How to move from version 1 (or none at all) to version 2.07: + + - Do as above; install the fonts "nash14" and "nash14bf" first + according to local TeX conventions. + - If the font "nash10" is still there, delete it. + +----------------------------------------------------------------------- +02.12.92: Version 2.06 + + Status: + + - This is an experimental version processing some Persian + features differently; otherwise identical to version 2.05. + - This version is NOT part of the packages "arabtex.zip" and + "arabtex.tar.Z"; instead there are additional ASCII files + "apatch25.sty", "apatch26.sty", and "arab2-06.doc". Thus + installing it does not destroy a working version 2.05. + - This version has not been extensively tested. + - Moving back and forth between versions 2.05 and 2.06 is easy. + + - For details: see the file "arab2-06.doc". + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +05.11.92: Version 2.05 + + Status: + + - There is a new User Manual "arabdoc.tex" in the subdirectory + "report". It contains many examples for the use of ArabTeX; + some of them also show several small extensions for special + cases which are not otherwise documented, but supported. + - The new User Manual is in ArabTeX format for local printing, + so it serves at the same time as an extensive installation test. + A hard-copy version is available on request; write to the author + and enclose DM 10 (outside of Europe US$ 10) to cover printing + and mailing expenses. For additional DM 5 (US$ 5) you can also + get the software on diskette (please indicate computer system, + TeX implementation version, and desired diskette format). + - The "*.sty" files have been updated so that the system works + (apparently) exactly as described in the User Manual; some small + bugs that have shown up in the meantime have been fixed. + + Changes and extensions: + + - The vowel marks, if shown, are now positioned at about the same + height from the baseline. + - Arabic words can be emphasized by overlining. + - A group of arabic words, if enclosed in curly braces, is not + split across a line boundary. + - A final mute "hah" in Persian can be denoted , , or . + + How to move from versions 2.00 - 2.04 to version 2.05: + + - Replace all "*.sty" files + - Add the manual files "arabdoc*.*" in the directory "report" and + process them to get the new User Manual. + - The fonts "nash14" and "nash14bf" are unchanged. + + How to move from version 1 (or none at all) to version 2.05: + + - Do as above; install the fonts "nash14" and "nash14bf" first + according to local TeX conventions. + - If the font "nash10" is still there, delete it. + + Known problems: + + - The non-arabic language modes have not been extensively tested. + - The text file "arabtex.doc" can be used as a first introduction, + but does not describe all features. For full details, see the + User Manual. + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +05.08.92: Version 2.04 + + Status and fixes: + + - see also Version 2.03 below + - "awrite.sty" has been extensively restructured to ease + further maintenance + - the storage utilization is somewhat better, the running time + is about the same as with version 2.02 + + Changes: only format and contents of THIS file + + How to move from version 2.02: + + - replace aparse.sty, awrite.sty, aligs.sty + or: reinstall all *.sty files if that is easier + - the font has NOT changed, leave it alone + + How to move from version 2.00: + + - replace all *.sty files, including "apatch.sty" (new) + - the font has NOT changed, leave it alone + - there is a new demo for Farsi: "omar.tex" + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +01.08.92: Version 2.03 (not distributed) + + Status and fixes: + + - a rare but grave bug has been fixed; it made ArabTeX explode + on and a few related words. + - to fix the bug, the internal interface of "aparse.sty", + "awrite.sty", and "aligs.sty" had to be altered drastically. + + Changes: none + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +03.05.92: Version 2.02 + + Status and fixes: + + - there have been extensive changes to nearly all "*.sty" files + - the Nasta'liq font is still missing; sorry, but at the moment + there is no free time to design it. For the meantime, Naskh will + be substituted automatically, and should be readable. + - the problem with ^ and _ has been fixed; they now work correctly + in all modes + - the <~n> problem has been fixed + - the prefix before with below now works, as + e.g. in + - short Arabic quotations may be used in moving arguments in + LaTeX, e.g. section names, frameboxes, captions, margin notes + and the like + - Farsi and related languages: and now + seem to work correctly. + + Changes: + + - in Farsi and related languages, the final after and + is NO MORE generated automatically; you have to write it + explicitly if you want it. THIS IS NO BUG: the old strategy was + found to be inconsistent. + - the additional option \showtrue will echo the ASCII input + verbatim; \showfalse will switch this mode off again. This + feature is intended for test purposes; it might not work in all + contexts, and could disappear again. + - there is a new file "apatch.sty" which is loaded automatically + and will contain last minute corrections (none at the moment) + + Open problems: + + - see "bugs" and "fixes" below + + Hints: + + - with LaTeX, the option "arabtex" should ONLY be followed by its + local sub-options like "nashbf" or "atrans"; put other options + BEFORE it and DON'T define any own commands that use "<"; use + ">" instead. + - with Plain TeX, define your own macros BEFORE "\input arabtex". + + How to move from version 2.00 or 2.01: + + - replace all *.sty files, including "apatch.sty" (new) + - the font has NOT changed, leave it alone + - there is a new demo for Farsi: "omar.tex" + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +15.04.92: Version 2.01 (was available on direct request) + + Status and fixes: + + - Temporary patch for the ^ and _ problem (thanks, Bernd Raichle!) + but still does not work in moving arguments + + More known bugs: + + - \footnote does not work (we never promised it would, but will + think about it) + - \footnotemark may put the mark into unexpected places if used + within an Arabic Environment; however: + \footnotetext works outside Arabic Environments even with Arabic + text in angle brackets + - the prefix as in will produce garbage + - <~n> will blow up + + How to get the version: DON'T, this version is obsolete + +-------------------------------------------------------------------------- +10.04.92: Version 2.0 + + Version 2.00 is here at last.
