+\section{Welcome to \LaTeXNews}
+ 
+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{\LaTeXe---the new \LaTeX{} release}
+ 
+The most important news is the release of \LaTeXe, the new version of
+the \LaTeX{} software.  This version has better support for fonts,
+graphics and colour, and will be actively maintained by the \LaTeX3
+project team.  Upgrades will be issued every six months, in June and 
+December.
+ 
+\section{Why a new \LaTeX?}
+ 
+Over the years many extensions have been developed for \LaTeX. This
+is, of course, a sure sign of its continuing popularity but it has had
+one unfortunate result: incompatible \LaTeX{} formats came into use at
+different sites. Thus, to process documents from various places, a
+site maintainer was forced to keep \LaTeX{} (with and without \NFSS),
+\SLiTeX, \AmSLaTeX, and so on.  In addition, when looking at a source
+file it was not always clear for which format the document was written.
+ 
+To put an end to this unsatisfactory
+situation a new release of \LaTeX{} was produced.
+It brings all such extensions back under a single format and thus
+prevents the proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of
+\LaTeX~2.09. The new release was available for several months as a
+test version, and the final release of 1~June officially
+replaces the old version.
+ 
+\section{Processing documents with \LaTeXe}
+ 
+Documents written for \LaTeX~2.09 will
+still be read by \LaTeXe.  Any such document is run in
+\emph{\LaTeX~2.09 compatibility mode}.
+ 
+Unfortunately, compatibility mode comes with a price: it can run 
+up to 50\% slower than \LaTeX~2.09 did.  If you want to run your document 
+in the faster \emph{native mode}, you should try replacing the line:
+\begin{verbatim}
+   \documentstyle[<options>,<packages>]{<class>}
+\end{verbatim}
+with:
+\begin{verbatim}
+   \documentclass[<options>]{<class>}
+   \usepackage{latexsym,<packages>}
+\end{verbatim}
+Unfortunately, this will not always work, because some \LaTeX~2.09 
+packages will only work in \LaTeXe{} compatibility mode.  You should find 
+out if there is a \LaTeXe{} version of the package available.
+ 
+\LaTeXe{} native mode also gives access to the new features of \LaTeXe, 
+described in \emph{\LaTeXe{} for authors}.
+ 
+\section{New packages}
+ 
+\LaTeXe{} has much better support for graphics, colour, fonts, and 
+multi-lingual typesetting.  The following software should be available 
+from the distributor who brought you \LaTeXe:
+
+\begin{citations}
+\item[babel] for typesetting in many languages.
+\item[color] for colour support.
+\item[graphics] for including images.
+\item[mfnfss] for using bitmap fonts.
+\item[psnfss] for using Type~1 fonts.
+\item[tools]  other packages by the \LaTeX3 team.
+\end{citations}
+The packages come with full documentation, and are also described in 
+\emph{\LaTeX: A Document Processing System} or 
+\emph{The \LaTeX{} Companion}.
+
