-This document describes the procedure by which changes to the LaTeX
-distribution in between major releases could be made.
-
-Such changes will be made only when major problems are discovered and
-fixed.
-
-Changes which affect the file latex.ltx, and hence the format, are
-called `patches to the LaTeX kernel': this concept is described in
-detail below. 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.)
