+Further details of changes at this release are given in \LaTeX~News~28, but in brief
+the main changes are as listed below.
+
+The default encoding for files has been changed to UTF-8.
+
+A new possibility to refer to older versions of packages has been added.
+
+New commands previously available in \Lpack{remreset} and
+\Lpack{chngcntr} packages for controlling counters have been added.
+
+The definition of \verb|\@ifundefined| has been refined to use the e-\TeX \verb|\ifcsname|
+primitive when available, and to avoid defining the command being tested to be \verb|\relax|
+in the case that it was previously undefined.
