The + manual has NOT been updated and the changes are noted below. + +-- New paper size options: `a0paper', `a1paper', `a2paper', `b0paper', + `b1paper', and `b2paper' for A0, A1, A2, B0,B1, and B2 size stock paper. + +-- Macro \memoirpostopthook{} which is called after the options are + processed but before anything else is done (like setting the page layout). + As an example, you may define it as (before the \documentclass} + command): + \newcommand*{\memoirpostopthook}{% + \setlength{\stockwidth}{<wid>}\setlength{\stockheight}{<ht>}} + \documentclass[...]{memoir} + to specify a stock paper size of <wid> by <ht> that is not provided by the + defined options. + +-- New `portrait' option (default, the opposite of `landscape'). + +-- New command \setbinding{<length>} for a binding offset of <length>. + +-- New commands: \setpagetm, \setpagetr, \setpagemr, \setpagebr, \setpagebm, + \setpagecc to position a (smaller) page on a (larger) stock at the + top-middle, top-right, middle-right, bottom-right, bottom-middle, and + centered with respect to the stock. + + The macros are to be used instead of \settrimmedsize taking the + same arguments. + +-- New optional parameter in \makeheadwidth{<style>}[<footerwidth>]{<headerwidth>} + to set the width of the <style>'s headers to <headerwidth> and the footers + to <headerwidth> or, if given, to <footerwidth>. The two widths can also + be set individually using \makerunningheadwidth{<style>}{<length>} + and similarly with \makerunningfootwidth. The lengths, if needed + are stored in \styleheadrunwidth and \stylefootrunwidth. + +-- New `showlocs' pagestyle, which is provided as an example of what can be + done to show the positions of headers, footers, and the textblock (lines + are drawn showing the header and footer vertical locations and a box is + drawn around the text block. It is implemented by two zero-sized pictures: + \framepichead which draws a line at the header location, and \framepictextfoot + which draws a frame around the textblock and a line at the footer location. + Following the declaration \showheadfootlocoff the header/footer lines + will not be drawn (\showheadfootlocon turns them on again), and following + the \showtextblocklocoff declaration the frame around the text block will + not be drawn (\showtextblocklocon turns it on again). If you want a box + around your text you could create your own pagestyle using \framepictextfoot + and with the showlocs code as a starting point. + +-- New command \centerfloat is a version of \centering which centers a wide + float or other known width element with respect to the textblock. E.g., + \begin{table} \centerfloat \caption{A wide table} ... \end{table} + +-- New command \sourceatright[<length>]{<short text>}. Use at the end of a + paragraph to put <short text> flushright. If it is short enough it will + go at the end of the last line preceded by at least <length> (default 2em) + space, otherwise it is set (flushright) on the following line. + +-- New macro \leftspringright{<lfrac>}{<rfrac>}{<ltext>}{<rtext>} sets + <ltext> as a flushleft column, width <lfrac> of the textwidth, and <rtext> + as a flushright column, width <rfrac> of the textwidth, with + (1.0 - <lfrac> - <rfrac>) textwidth space between them. E.g., + \spring{0.4}{0.5}{On the left}{Right stuff} + +-- Following the declaration \linenottooshort{<length>} paragraphs will be set: + As normal but the last line will not be shorter than <length> (default 4em) + +-- Using \russianpar instead of \par to end a paragraph causes it to be set + following Russian typographic rules + +-- Using \lastlinerulefill instead of \par to end a paragraph will be + cause any short line to be filled with a rule (\lastlineparrule) up to + the righthand margin. + +-- Following the declaration \leftcenterright paragraphs will be set: + First line raggedright, the last line raggedleft, and the remainder + centered. If you use this shape, set \everypar{} afterwards. + +-- Following the declaration \justlastraggedleft paragraphs will be set: + All lines normal except the last is raggedleft. + +-- Following the declaration \raggedrightthenleft paragraphs will be set: + First line raggedright and remainder raggedleft. + +-- If you use the above unusual paragraph shapes then using \\ to break + a line may give a surprising result. If so, you could try instead + \atcentercr (a memoir macro) or \break (a standard LaTeX macro) to see + if the result is any better for you. In addition, just in case, memoir + stores the original definitions of \\ and \par as \memorigdbs and + \memorigpar respectively. + +-- \titleref have been extended with a \titleref*, which under + hyperref will provide the title but no link. Without hyperref, it + is the same as \titleref + +-- added hooks around the internals used by sidecaption, + sidecontcaption, sidenamedlegend and sidelegend.
