-=======================================================================
- ANNOUNCING the Xy-pic version 3.7 DIAGRAM TYPESETTING PACKAGE
-=======================================================================
-
-This is to announce a release of my diagram typesetting package Xy-pic.
-
-With version 3.7 we explicitly grant permission to use the unmodified
-Xy-pic fonts and specials in distributed documents.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- GENERAL
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Xy-pic is a package for typesetting a variety of graphs and diagrams
-with TeX. Xy-pic works with most formats (including LaTeX, AMS-LaTeX,
-AMS-TeX, and plain TeX), in particular Xy-pic is provided as a LaTeX2e
-`supported package' (following the `CTAN LaTeX2e bundle' standard).
-
-Further specifics of the package are in the distribution README file.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- NEWS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The primary purpose of release 3.7 is the granting of special permission
-to copy the Xy-pic fonts and graphic specials inside documents, for
-example in DVI, PostScript, and PDF files. This has no practical
-significance except making current (reasonable) practice explicitly
-legal.
-
-Release 3.7 furthermore fixes a few bugs in release 3.6 and adds a few
-features: a "smart turning path" feature and an extension with macro
-expansion in kernel expressions and polygon shapes by George C. Necula,
-and the beginnings of an emulation of LaTeX picture mode proposed by
-Paul Burchard and Bill Richter.
-
-Special thanks to George Necula for the bug fixes and impressive
-extensions, to Bill Richter for extending Paul Burchard's pb-diagram to
-use Xy-pic as a backend and for contributing the `picture' feature, to
-Berthold Horn of Y&Y Inc. for releasing the copyright on their
-PostScript fonts, and to Pieter Donche and Marcelo Cunha dos Santos for
-the bug reports.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- AVAILABILITY
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Xy-pic can be retrieved through the World Wide Web Xy-pic `home page':
-
- URL: http://www.ens-lyon.fr/~krisrose/Xy-pic.html
-
-as well as by anonymous ftp from
-
- CTAN: macros/generic/diagrams/xypic
-
-Check the README file in each location for specifics, in particular
-check that you have reached a version 3.7 copy (some archives take a
-while to mirror the latest files)!
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
- HISTORY & CREDITS
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-The first public release (version 1.40) of Xy-pic was created by
-Kristoffer H. Rose, DIKU, U of Copenhagen (now ENS-Lyon, France) and
-distributed via Usenet on December 19, 1991. This quickly became
-version 2 of which version 2.6 was the stable for sevarl years.
-
-The thorough rewrite that became version 3 is a continued
-collaboration with Ross Moore, Macquarie U, Sydney, initiated through
-a visit to Macquarie (Jan-May 1994 supported by the Australian
-Research Council, Macquarie University, and using donated DEC
-equipment). However, full backwards compatibility is maintained
-(except for the unavoidable but fully documented obscure cases).
-
-Xy-pic is Copyright (c) 1991-1998 by Kristoffer H. Rose and 1994-1998
-by Ross Moore under GNU COPYLEFT (GPL) which means that you can use
-the package for any purpose but if you provide the macros or any code
-derived from them to a third party then you are obliged to include the
-entire Xy-pic package (full details in the file COPYING). The
-PostScript fonts are additionally Copyright (c) 1997 Y&Y Inc. The
-FONTCOPYING file details the special permissions to distribute fonts
-without the full requirements of the GPL.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- This is the end of the announcement. Enjoy Xy-pic!
