This meant that it was executed in horizontal mode if the user left no empty line after the last paragraph. As a result one could get a spurious space added, for example, when that code contained a \cs{write} statement. This was fixed and now \cs{enddocument} first issues a \cs{par} to ensure that it always starts out in vertical mode. % \githubissue{385} \subsection{Allow extra space between name and address in \pkg{letter} class} The \cs{opening} command in the the \pkg{letter} class expects the name and address to be separated by \verb=\\= but it didn't allow to use an optional argument at this point to add some extra space after the name. The coding has now been slightly altered to allow for this. % \githubissue{427} \subsection{Provide hook in \cs{selectfont}} After \cs{selectfont} has altered the font we run a hook so that packages can make final adjustments. This functionality was originally provided by the \pkg{everysel} package, the new implementation is slightly different and uses the standard hook management. % \githubissue{444} \subsection{Delay change of font series and shape to \cs{selectfont} call} With the NFSS extensions introduced in 2020 the font series and shape settings be be influenced by changes to the font family. The setting is therefore delayed until \cs{selectfont} is executed to avoid unnecessary or incorrect substitutions that may otherwise happen due to the order of declarations. % \githubissue{444} \subsection{Allow \cs{nocite} in preamble} A natural place for \verb=\nocite{*}= would be the preamble of the document, but for historical reasons \LaTeX{} issued an error message if it was placed there. From the new release on it is now allowed in the preamble. % \githubissue{424} \subsection{\ldots} \emph{to be written} % \githubissue{xxx} \section{Changes to packages in the \pkg{graphics} category} \subsection{\ldots} % \githubissue{xxx} \section{Changes to packages in the \pkg{tools} category} \subsection{\ldots} % \githubissue{xxx} \section{Changes to packages in the \pkg{amsmath} category} \subsection{\ldots} % \githubissue{xxx} \end{document} \medskip \begin{thebibliography}{9} \fontsize{9.3}{11.3}\selectfont \bibitem{32:ltnews31} \LaTeX{} Project Team: \emph{\LaTeXe{} news 31}.\\ \url{https://latex-project.org/news/latex2e-news/ltnews31.pdf} \bibitem{32:site-doc} \emph{\LaTeX{} documentation on the \LaTeX{} Project Website}.\\ \url{https://latex-project.org/help/documentation/} \bibitem{32:issue-tracker} \emph{\LaTeX{} issue tracker}. \url{https://github.com/latex3/latex2e/issues/} \bibitem{32:babel} Javier Bezos and Johannes Braams. \emph{Babel---Localization and internationalization}.\\ \url{https://www.ctan.org/pkg/babel} \end{thebibliography}
