 	  you should have good reasons, and there will be no support.
         
+==========================================================================
+02.07.2006: Version 3.11s
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- In mixed paragraphs, the handling of horizontal spacing between 
+	  Arabic insertions and Roman text, and vice versa, is determined
+	  by the spaces (if present) in the input text inside and outside 
+	  of the RL{} commands.
+
+	New features:
+	
+	- The experimental package "saw.sty" provides macros \SAW and \ALS
+	  for producing special glyph combinations for theological and 
+	  religious texts (with the exception of the Holy Qur'an, which we
+	  do not support). These macros work inside and outside of Arabic
+	  mode; presently they are available in \normalsize only.
+
+	Note: 
+
+	- We are informed of a project, within the Muslim world, to extend
+	  ArabTeX by special features for printing the Holy Qur'an. We
+	  know about the difficulties, and we wish them success.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty" and, if required, "saw.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+17.04.2006: Version 3.11r
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- A glitch in EDMAC mode was fixed.
+
+	- <Roman insertions> within Arabic text work again, also when the
+	  <shorthand> notation for Arabic insertions in Roman text is in
+	  force.
+
+	New features:
+
+	- Processing of bidirectional paragraphs has been reimplemented
+	  completely. Roman paragraphs with Arabic script insertions may
+	  have arbitrary, variable '\parshape's and even nested recursive 
+	  insertions to arbitrary depth. This is rarely needed, but it is
+	  a strong torture test for the new algorithm.
+
+	- With LaTeX, the package 'lineno.sty' for producing line numbers
+	  is now fully supported. The former restrictions no more apply.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty" and also "alocal.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+01.03.2006: Version 3.11q
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- Some more incompatiblities with Plain TeX have been fixed.
+
+	- Vertical spacing commands in LaTeX work better within Arabic
+	  environments.
+
+	New features:
+
+	- A new file "alocal.sty" was introduced in order to facilitate 
+	  loading local extensions for individual users. Normally it 
+	  does nothing, but must be present.
+
+	- There is some limited support for users of "lineno.sty"; if
+	  that package is present, line numbers will work in the basic
+	  \linenumber mode within Arabic environments, and \linelabel 
+	  can also be used. Other features have not been tested.
+
+	  CAUTION: The command \RL{} is presently not quite compatible 
+	  with the "lineno.sty" package, and might break, both itself 
+	  and the line numbers! In that case, try \< > for insertions.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty" and also "alocal.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+08.02.2006: Version 3.11p
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- There was an incompatibility between the patching mechanism in
+	  "apatch.sty" and Plain TeX (only!).
+
+	- Final "ha'" in Jawi had the wrong shape.
+
+	New features:
+
+	- There is an improved version of "verses.sty"; for documentation
+	  see the file itself.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty" and, if required, "verses.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+01.02.2006: Version 3.11o
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- The lines of a bidirectional paragraph were sometimes mixed up
+	  when a page break interfered. This was neither easy to find nor
+	  to fix.
+
+	- An incompatible (!) change in Plain TeX 3.1415926 had broken the 
+	  transcription module. Use of ArabTeX with LaTeX was not affected.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+06.04.2005: Version 3.11n
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- In the Arabic document classes the commands 'figure' and 'table' 
+	  were broken. They work again.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+23.01.2005: Version 3.11m
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- In the Arabic document classes the list environments were 
+	  broken. Their labels work again.
+
+	- Punctuation marks in the Arabic script have been moved down 
+	  slightly.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+24.06.2004: Version 3.11l
+
+	Fixes:
+     
+	- An incompatibility between Kashmiri mode and Hebrew mode was
+	  taken care of. A small glitch in Uighuric mode was fixed.
+
+	- Arabic and Hebrew (right to left) insertions in a left-to-right 
+	  paragraph now also work correctly within LaTeX table fields
+	  specified with the p{} qualifier.
+
+	New features:
+
+	- The skip values \LRskip {\hskip \z@ plus 0.1em } before a RTL 
+	  insertion, and \RLskip {\hskip \z@ plus 0.1em } after a RTL 
+	  insertion, may be adjusted by the user to tune the appearance
+	  of bidirectional paragraphs. 
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+24.05.2004: Version 3.11k
+
+	Fixes:
+	
+	- Arabic and Hebrew (right to left) insertions in a left-to-right 
+	  paragraph now also work correctly at the very beginning of the
+	  paragraph, and also in the context of nested LaTeX environments.
+	  There used to be spurious spaces and shifted baselines.
+
+	Note:
+
+	- the reading modules 'bhs.sty', 'witbhs.sty', and 'buck.sty'
+	  presently cannot coexist with other input encoding methods for
+	  Arabic and Hebrew, not even with the standard transliteration
+	  encoding. This restriction might go away in further versions.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+17.05.2004: Version 3.11j
+
+	Fixes:
+
+	- The unconditional placement of a 'hamza' mark on a character
+	  by the suffix < " ' > had been disabled for internal reasons.
+	  It is active again.
+
+	- In Hebrew mode, the placement of diacritics within a final kaph
+	  letter was fixed again. This had already been corrected in the
+	  version 3.11d, but that patch did not work.
+
+	New features:
+	
+	- The experimental reading module 'buck.sty' for the 'Buckwalter'
+	  encoding conventions has been upwards compatibly extended to
+	  cover XML compatible extensions, several Persian letters, and
+	  new encodings of diacritic marks as proposed by the Archimedes
+	  project. For details and open issues, enquire.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+26.04.2004: Version 3.11i
+
+	Fixes:
+	
+	- The algorithm for bidirectional line-breaking in mixed Arabic-
+	  Roman paragraphs has been completely re-implemented. It is now
+	  shorter and faster, and hopefully, has fewer bugs.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+15.03.2004: Version 3.11h
+
+	Fixes:
+	
+	- For Pashto and Sindhi modes, and also for special purposes,
+	  a few input encodings have been changed to conform with the
+	  new version of the user manual (still in preparation).
+
+	New features:
+
+	- For YIVO Yiddish, a few additional input encodings have been
+	  provided to write Hebrew words according to the conventions
+	  of the "Yiddishe Shraybmashinke" by Refoyl Finkel.
+
+	- In 'verses.sty' the command \setversedim {length}{gap} to set 
+	  the length of the halfverses and their separation, has been
+	  expanded to the format \setversedim {length1}[length2]{gap} by 
+	  an optional second (!) argument to set the lengths of the 
+	  two hemistichs independently. The old format still works.
+	  The command \halfverses {first}[conn]{second} is equivalent to
+	  \connverses {first}{conn}{second} (mind the brackets!)
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+26.02.2004: Version 3.11g
+
+	Fixes:
+
+	- When the Arabic Windows encoding is used, double quotes <">
+	  are interpreted as directional quotes <``> and <''> according
+	  to the context.
+
+	- When using 'verses.sty' the text will be centered, both in 
+	  Plain TeX mode and in LaTeX mode. Whenever this is not feasible
+	  due to the indicated verse dimensions, hemistichs will be put 
+	  flush right and flush left in alternate lines. Connecting the
+	  hemistichs in that case is not possible; end the last word of 
+	  the first hemistich, and start the first word of the second, 
+	  by a dash <-> to get the connecting forms of the appropriate
+	  letters, if they exist. 
+
+	New features:
+
+	- Within an Arabic word in transliteration encoding, a plus sign
+	  <+> will unconditionally place a 'sukun' or, after an initial 
+	  'alif', a 'wasla', on the preceding letter. As the first 
+	  character, or isolated or after punctuation, the plus sign 
+	  denotes itself.
+
+	- In Sindhi mode, the special ending 'in' as in <min> and <'in>
+	  may also be coded <.mIN> and <'IN>.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+12.02.2004: Version 3.11f
+
+	Fixes:
+
+	- Some character assignments for Judeo-Arabic were corrected.
+
+	- Various minor technical bugs were found and corrected.
+
+	New features:
+
+	- The file 'arabwin.sty' is obsolete and should no more be used; 
+	  for the Arabic Windows encoding use 'cp1256.sty' instead. The
+	  encoding is set by '\setcode{cp1256}' or '\setcode{arabwin}'.
+
+	- In pausal position, the feminine ending <aT> (tah marbuta) is 
+	  now transcribed as 'ah'. The input encoding is unchanged.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
+
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+08.12.2003: Version 3.11e
+
+	Fixes:
+
+	- Bidirectional paragraphs are now handled correctly even within
+	  the LaTeX environments 'quote' and 'quotation'.
+
+	- In Hebrew mode, the positioning of 'nikudot' on final 'kaph'
+	  was improved.
+
+	- The handling of final 'Urdu wavy hah' was improved.
+
+	- After switching the font size in LaTeX (also implicitly in
+	  section titles and such), an initial number sometimes was
+	  lost even outside of Arabic or Hebrew mode. This has been
+	  corrected.
+
+	New features:
+
+	- The font 'xnsh14' is the default for Arabic mode. In Hebrew
+	  mode, 'hclassic' is the default.
+
+	- ArabTeX now seems to be compatible with 'inputenc.sty'.
+
+	- In the Unicode mode, additional extended Arabic characters
+	  are now supported, so are ZWJ = ZERO WIDTH JOINER and ZWNJ
+	  = ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER (see below).
+	
+	- 'dotless bah' and 'Uzbek ae' are supported in Unicode mode.
+
+	- Within an Arabic word in transliteration encoding, a star <*>
+	  will unconditionally place a 'shadda' on the preceding letter.
+	  At the beginning of a word, or isolated or after punctuation,
+	  the star denotes itself.
+
+	Notes:
+
+	- Changes of input encoding are \global for technical reasons.
+
+	- Private reading modules for individual users may be broken
+	  by the new reading strategy introduced for compatibility with
+	  'inputenc.sty'. In case of problems, contact the author. New
+	  versions of 'buck.sty, 'bhs.sty', and 'witbhs.sty' have been
+	  prepared.
+
+	Open issues:
+
+	- The space introduced by ZWNJ = ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER is still
+	  too wide. No fix is known.
+
+	Installation:
+
+	- download "apatch.sty".
