+******************************************************************
+*** ***
+*** Changes from ednotes.sty v0.64 to v1.0 ***
+*** ***
+*** (Uwe Lueck, 2004/10/21) ***
+*** ***
+******************************************************************
+
+
+
+* SUMMARY: *
+
+ Since August 2004, the number of bundle files has been reduced.
+ Many of the remaining files have changed, some essentially,
+ others with respect to usage instructions. We explain how to
+ update your Ednotes installation accordingly. Optional
+ "patches", enhancements etc. that earlier had to be called by
+ loading separate files explicitly (mandatory arguments of
+ \usepackage) are now called by ednotes.sty package options
+ (optional arguments in \usepackage[<opt>]{ednotes}). New PDF
+ documentations/instructions have appeared.
+
+
+* Contents of this file: *
+
+ LN/MF_edn.zip -- ednotes/lineno/manyfoot/further changes --
+ updating procedure -- new documentations
+
+
+
+* Some files you may have received: *
+
+ You may have received (by e-mail from us, e.g.) a distribution
+ containing files
+
+ LN_edn.zip
+ MF_edn.zip
+
+ They serve two purposes:
+
+ 1. They contain the files README and CHANGES that reside in the
+ CTAN directories `[...]/lineno' and `[...]/ncctools' (from
+ which manyfoot.sty stems). In order to avoid that README and
+ CHANGES files overwrite each other, unzip them into separate
+ directories, and into another one than the README file (for
+ ednotes.sty) that you should have received as a plain text
+ file.
+
+ 2. LEGAL, IMPORTANT:
+
+ The files README, manyfoot.dtx, and nccfoots.dtx contained in
+ MF_edn.zip are, by their copyright holder Alexander Rozhenko,
+ demanded to ACCOMPANY any (re)DISTRIBUTION of manyfoot.sty
+ and nccfoots.sty!
+
+
+* ednotes.sty changes: *
+
+ 1. ednotes.sty version 1.0 has new package options `edtable',
+ `longtable', `nolongtablepatch', `edmacpara',
+ `countoccurrences', and `mathnotes' for handling "patch" or
+ enhancement etc. files. None of these files should be loaded
+ through the mandatory argument of \usepackage any more. E.g.,
+ instead of \usepackage{edtable}, you now type
+
+ \usepackage[edtable,<further options>]{ednotes} .
+
+ (So -- one advantage aimed at -- you must no longer worry
+ about the correct order of loading extension packages.)
+
+ 2. The above-mentioned option `nolongtablepatch' changes earlier
+ behaviour with respect to our longtable.sty patch file
+ ltabptch.sty, in avoiding an error message that otherwise
+ appears when ltabptch.sty is not present. This is convenient
+ when you deliberately want to avoid the patch. The error
+ message ensures that vertical spacing around a "longtable"
+ does not depend on the local TeX installation -- e.g., when
+ you send your source to a journal.
+
+ 3. ednotes.sty has a new option `perpage' for making use of the
+ manyfoot.sty option `perpage' -- just see the Manyfoot
+ documentation for what it does. It requires perpage.sty,
+ which is available from [CTAN]/macros/latex/contrib/misc.
+
+
+* lineno.sty changes: *
+
+ 1. The new version 4.1 of lineno.sty makes former extension
+ files linenox0.sty, linenox1.sty, and lnopatch.sty obsolete.
+ Don't load them any more! (We have installed a reminder for
+ the case that you don't obey this rule.)
+
+ 2. \firstlinenumber has slightly changed from its earlier
+ behaviour given by lnopatch.sty. See lineno.sty/tex/pdf.
+
+
+* manyfoot.sty changes: *
+
+ The new version 1.7 of manyfoot.sty provides a command
+ \ExtraParaSkip to replace our earlier \MFparaxbuffer.
+ (See the new ednotes.sty documentation to recall
+ \MFparaxbuffer -- search for `\ExtraParaSkip', e.g.)
+ This makes former extension file mfparxsp.sty obsolete.
+ Please replace \MFparaxbuffer by \ExtraParaSkip and don't
+ load mfparxsp.sty any more! For your earlier documents that
+ contain \usepackage{mfparxsp}, we offer a new version of
+ mfparxsp.sty which just reminds you of the change and
+ ("for this time") redirects your \MFparaxbuffer to
+ \ExtraParaSkip. You may as well just delete your copy of
+ mfparxsp.sty, if you are sure, e.g., that you won't anymore
+ compile a .tex containing \MFparaxbuffer and
+ \usepackage{mfparaxbuffer}.
+
+
+* Further corresponding changes: *
+
+ Extension files that still are used -- now required by the new
+ ednotes.sty package options -- have been changed at least with
+ respect to explanations that they contain.
+
+
+* UPDATING: *
+
+ 1. (Mandatory:) overwrite your copies of
+
+ edcntwd0.sty
+ ednmath0.sty
+ ednotes.sty
+ edtable.sty
+ lineno.sty
+ manyfoot.sty
+ mfparptc.sty
+
+ with the new versions.
+
+ 2. Overwrite
+
+ mfparxsp.sty
+
+ by our new "reminder" version, or just remove it from TeX's
+ searching scope -- as you like, recall `manyfoot.sty changes'
+ avove.
+
+ 3. You may remove (from TeX's searching scope) linenox0.sty,
+ linenox1.sty, lnopatch.sty -- but they won't harm otherwise;
+ you will get an error message if you load one of them
+ inadvertently.
+
+
+* New documentation/instructions: *
+
+ 1. An article on ednotes.sty is appearing in TUGboat vol. 24.
+ It describes the main commands and functions of Ednotes.
+ Moreover, it compares Ednotes to EDMAC and LEDMAC, two other
+ TeX macro packages for critical edition typesetting.
+ We provide a version of the article very near to the final
+ one as
+
+ tb77lueck.pdf .
+
+ (it is definitively not the final version.)
+
+ 2. The README for ednotes.sty has been rewritten very much and
+ may yield new insights. Detailed explanations addressing
+ non-TeXperts have been added.
+
+ 3. lineno.tex has been updated according to the changes of
+ lineno.sty, of course. A pdflatex outcome
+
+ lineno.pdf
+
+ is available ([CTAN]/macros/latex/contrib/lineno/lineno.pdf).
+
+ A pdflatex outcome
+
+ ulineno.pdf
+
+ of the user's guide ulineno.tex is available as well.
+ It only deals with lineno.sty version 3.1, but will though
+ be helpful (I think).
+
+ Recall that lineno.sty offers many commands to control the
+ style of the marginal line numbers, so its documentation is
+ an essential contribution to ednotes.sty documentation.
+
+ 4. Version 1.7 of manyfoot.sty is generated from the
+ corresponding version of
+
+ manyfoot.dtx
+
+ which is the TeX source for the documentation of
+ manyfoot.sty. Recently, the pdflatex output
+
+ manyfoot.pdf
+
+ has been added to CTAN directory ncctools. These two files
+ may be less essential for ednotes.sty users than
+ (u)lineno.tex/pdf. However, manyfoot.sty offers features
+ that you may find interesting: (i) customize rules between
+ footnote layers; (ii) \SplitNote (for paragraphed footnotes
+ at page breaks). (For nccfoots.sty, which manyfoot.sty
+ requires, there are nccfoots.dtx/pdf as well.)
+
+
+Good Luck!
