even major versions. We can make them available on request, but
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".
