+\section{Welcome to \LaTeXNews~3}
+
+An issue of \emph{\LaTeXNews} will accompany every future release of
+\LaTeX.  It will tell you about important events, such as major bug
+fixes, newly available packages, or any other \LaTeX{} news.
+
+\section{June 1995 release of \LaTeX}
+
+June 1995 sees the third release of \LaTeXe.  We are on schedule
+to deliver a release of \LaTeX{} every six months, in December and
+June.
+
+In the last \emph{\LaTeXNews}, we said ``we don't expect so much
+activity in the next six months,'' which has turned out not to be
+true! 
+
+\section{Additional input encodings}
+
+In the last release of \LaTeX{} we distributed a test version of the
+\texttt{inputenc} package which allows the use of input characters
+other than just a--z and A--Z.  The package has proved to be robust,
+so we are now distributing an expanded version.
+The new release comes with a number of input encodings:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+\item \texttt{ascii} the standard encoding,
+\item \texttt{latin1} the ISO Western European alphabet,
+\item \texttt{latin2} the ISO Eastern European alphabet,
+\item \texttt{cp437} the IBM codepage 437,
+\item \texttt{cp850} the IBM codepage 850, and
+\item \texttt{applemac} the Apple Macintosh encoding.
+\end{itemize}
+These can be used by specifying an option to the \texttt{inputenc}
+package, for example:
+\begin{verbatim}
+   \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
+\end{verbatim}
+The new input encodings are currently being tested, but we don't
+expect any major changes.
+
+\section{\LaTeX\ getting smaller}
+
+In the past releases of \LaTeXe, the amount of memory \LaTeX{}
+requires has increased, but we are pleased to say that this trend has
+been reversed.  We hope that future releases of \LaTeX{} will continue
+to get smaller.
+
+For example, on this document, the December 1994 release used 52,622
+words of memory, and the June 1995 release uses 51,216 words of
+memory, which is a 2.7\% reduction.
+
+We are currently experimenting with other ways of reducing the size of
+\LaTeX.  For example, we are experimenting with an option to remove
+the \texttt{picture} and \texttt{tabbing} environments from the
+\LaTeX{} kernel, and to load them from a file the first time they are
+used.  This should help \LaTeX{} to run on machines with limited
+memory.  See \texttt{autoload.txt} for details.
+
+\section{Distribution and modification}
+
+One topic of discussion that has kept us busy is the distribution and
+modification conditions of \LaTeX.  We are committed to keeping
+\LaTeX{} as free reliable software, and ensuring that (as far as
+possible) \LaTeX{} documents will produce the same results on all
+systems. 
+
+The modification conditions are currently under discussion, and we
+would like to hear from anyone interested.  Please read
+\texttt{modguide.tex} for more information.
+
+\section{AMS-\LaTeX\ full release}
+
+The AMS-\LaTeX\ packages were still in beta test in the December 1994
+release of \LaTeX, and the full release came out in January 1995.
+
+AMS-\LaTeX\ is described in the \emph{User's Guide}
+(\texttt{amsldoc.tex}) and in \emph{The \LaTeX{} Companion}.
+
+\section{PostScript fonts}
+
+There is a new test release of the PSNFSS packages for accessing
+PostScript fonts in \LaTeXe.  This includes an update to all of the
+fonts, to remove many of the underfull and overfull \verb|\hbox|
+warnings, and improve the setting of non-English languages.
+
+The new release of \LaTeX{} removes all of the `hidden' uses of
+Computer Modern mathematics.  For example, the footnote markers used
+to use math mode, so always used Computer Modern digits rather than
+ones from the current text font.  This has now been fixed.
+
