CHANGE LOG
+1.2e [2013/01/10]
+
+This version should be the last one in the 1.2 series as it seems to
+correct most of the main problems which were introduced with the massive
+use of mathematically active characters in versions 1.2 and 1.2b.
+
+ * It is indeed a thorny point when one wants to modify only in math mode
+ how an active character acts, without breaking things. The package now
+ does that /only/ if the activation appears to originate in the Babel
+ system, as it is then possible to modify appropriately the Babel macros
+ \user@active<char> and \normal@char<char>. The relevant issues are
+ discussed in section 2.10 of the user manual, in the test file
+ testmathastextalphabets.tex, and in the source code comments to the
+ macro \mst@mathactivate. The inherent incompatibility of Babel with
+ packages having made mathematically active the characters itself makes
+ document active is circumvented by this interference of mathastext. A
+ generally applicable Babel patch could be derived from the method used
+ by mathastext.
+
+ * The technique of mathematical activation is maintained only for the
+ characters which are not catcode active (at the entrance in math mode,
+ as mathastext does all its activation job at everymath and everydisplay).
+
+ * Sadly, the feature of added italic corrections introduced in version
+ 1.2b did not behave as described in the user manual, due to forgotten
+ group braces. Fixed.
+
+ * The command \MTlowerast from the user manual of v1.2d was not the one
+ implemented in the source code. Fixed.
+
+ * The test files automatically extracted from a latex run on the dtx file
+ have been revised and extended.
+
+ * The code is better documented.
