The changes of this type are described briefly at the -end of this file, in chronological order. - -All changes to all files should be listed, in reverse-time order, in -the files called changes.txt: there is one in each distribution -subdirectory. - - -Patches to the LaTeX kernel -=========================== - -Between major releases of LaTeX it may be necessary to make small -updates to fix major problems. - -We have made it relatively easy to install updates that affect only -the format---by placing all these changes in one file, called -ltpatch.ltx. - -In practice due to changing distribution mechanisms since LaTeX2e was -first released we do not now expect to use this patch mechanism, if a -major problem were to be discovered a new updated LaTeX distribution -would be placed on CTAN and distributed via the usual TeX distribution -channels. - -In order to update your LaTeX format you should put -ltpatch.ltx where it can be read by iniTeX and then run iniTeX on -latex.ltx. You do not need to unpack the latex sources again. - -In this run of iniTeX, the file ltpatch.ltx (if it exists) will be -read just before the format file is `dumped'. This will correct any -bugs and it will modify the opening banner of LaTeX: for example, -from: - -LaTeX2e <2015/01/01> - -to: - -LaTeX2e <2015/01/01> patch level 1 - - -(The ltpatch.ltx distributed with this `full' release of LaTeX - is `patch level 0' which does not change the banner.) - - ---- Copyright 1993-2015 - The LaTeX3 Project.
