\item The problem with the {\tt ogonek} accent and tabular environments (bad definition of \verb|\k|) is fixed;
\item The default encoding for \textsf{newpxtext} is now T$1$, but support is offered also for OT$1$ and LY$1$. As some add-on packages are available only in T$1$, that seems the best current choice.
\item The font collection used for rendering text is based on TeXGyrePagella with a number of additions, denoted by TeXGyrePagellaX. The superior figures in this addition are set by default to render footnote markers. (It is also possible customize footnote markers by redefining \verb|\thefootnote| after loading {\tt newpxtext.sty}.) Small caps are available in all weights and styles, and are offered in two sizes. The default small caps supplied by TeXGyrePagella are really \textsc{Petite Caps}, having xheights approximately the same x-heights (sometimes smaller) as lowercase letters. Option \texttt{largesc} increases the size of small caps by about 8\%, approximating the size of Adobe Palatino Small Caps. IMO, this is a better match in terms of weight and size. For a side by side comparison: {\pcf Petite Caps}, \textsc{Small Caps}.
-\item Sans serif is by default taken from TeXGyreHeros, and by default at 94\% of the scale factor (set by {\tt scaled}, default value {\tt1}). The option {\tt helvratio=.98} will change that to 98\%.
+\item Sans serif is by default taken from TeXGyreHeros, a Helvetica clone, and by default at 94\% of the scale factor (set by {\tt scaled}, default value {\tt1}). The option {\tt helvratio=.98} will change that to 98\%. As of newpx version 1.415, there is an option {\tt nohelv} that prevents this loading.
\item New math accents such as \verb|\widearc| have been introduced in tandem with the {\tt newtx} package, where they are documented.

The option \texttt{osf} instructs the text fonts to use old-style figures \oldstylenums{1234567890} rather than the default lining figures $1234567890$. As of version $1.23$, {\tt newpxtext} loads initially with lining figures so the math package uses lining figures in math mode. The option {\tt osf} switches to old-style figures in text at the very end of the preamble, forcing the use of oldstyle figures in text, but not math. In previous versions, it was necessary to run
\verb|\useosf| after loading math. This is no longer required, but does no harm. See the discussion in section 4 for further details.

+As of version 1.415, the new option {\tt nohelv} prevents the loading of the default Helvetica clone as the sans serif text font. If you use this option, you should load your preferred sans serif font, otherwise you will be left with the Computer Modern default, most likely in a metafont version if not using OT1 encoding.
As described above, option {\tt largesc} increases the size of small caps by about 8\%.
