It will tell you about important events, such as major bug -fixes, newly available packages, or any other \LaTeX{} news. -This issue accompanies the fourth release of \LaTeXe. - - -\section{\LaTeX\ getting smaller} - -The last release in June started a trend of \LaTeX\ becoming -smaller, we are pleased to announce that this has continued with this -release. In particular the experimental `autoload' version described in -\texttt{autoload.txt} is much smaller as more parts of \LaTeX\ are -autoloaded. - -\section{New `concurrent' docstrip} - -The time taken to `unpack' this release from the documented sources -should be much reduced (roughly half the time, depending on -installation conditions). This is due to an improved version of the -docstrip program that has been contributed by Marcin Woli\'nski. -This can write up to 16 files at once. The -previous version could only write one file at a time which meant that -it was very slow when producing many small files from the same source -file as the source needed to be re-read for each file written. - -\section{New T1 encoded fonts} - -This year J\"org Knappen has completed a new release of the `Cork' -(T1) encoded Computer Modern fonts: the dc fonts release 1.2. - -This release of the dc fonts fixes many bugs (including the missing -\verb|?`| (?`) and \verb|!`| (!`) ligatures) and improves the fonts in -many other ways. It is strongly recommended that you upgrade as soon as -possible if currently you are using the old dc fonts, release 1.1 or -earlier. The new fonts are available from the CTAN archives, in -\texttt{tex-archive/fonts/dc}. - -The names of the font files are \emph{different}. This does not affect -\LaTeX\ documents but \emph{does} affect the installation procedure as -it assumes that you have the \emph{new} fonts, and will write suitable -`fd' files for those fonts. If you have not yet upgraded your dc fonts -then, after unpacking the distribution, you \emph{must} -\verb|latex olddc.ins| to produce `fd' files for the old dc fonts. -This must be done \emph{before} the format is made. Running the test -document at \texttt{ltxcheck.tex} the end of the installation will -inform you if the wrong set of `fd' files has been installed. - -Note that this change does not affect the standard `OT1' Computer -Modern fonts that \LaTeX\ uses by default. - -\section{More robust commands} - -The commands \verb|\cite| and \verb|\sqrt| are now robust. - -Although most commands with optional arguments are fragile, as -documented, such commands defined using the second optional argument -of \verb|\newcommand| and its derivatives are now \emph{robust}. - -\section{New Interface to building `extension' classes} - -The mechanism provided by \verb|\DeclareOption|, \verb|\ProcessOptions| -and \verb|\LoadClass| has proved to be a powerful and expressive means -of defining one class in terms of another `base' class. However there -have been some requests to simplify the declaration of the common case -where you want the `base' class to be called with \emph{all} the -options that were specified to the extension class. This is now -provided by the new command \verb|\LoadClassWithOptions|. A similar -command \verb|\RequirePackageWithOptions| is provided for package use. -More details of this feature are provided in \texttt{clsguide.tex} and -\texttt{ltclass.dtx}. - -\section{More Input Encodings} - -The experimental \texttt{inputenc} package allows a more natural style -of input of accented and other characters. - -Three new input encodings are now supported. -\begin{itemize} -\item \texttt{ansinew} the Windows ansi encoding, - as used in Microsoft Windows 3.x. -\item \texttt{cp437de} a variant of \texttt{cp437}, which uses \ss\ - rather than $\beta$ in the appropriate slot. -\item \texttt{next} the encoding used on Next computers. -\end{itemize} - -\section{Further information} - -For more information on \TeX{} and \LaTeX, get in touch with your local -\TeX{} Users Group, or the international \TeX{} Users Group, -1850 Union Street, \#1637, San Francisco, CA~94123, USA, -Fax:~+1~415~982~8559, -EMail:~tug@tug.org. -The \LaTeX{} home page is \verb|http://www.tex.ac.uk/ctan/latex/| -and contains links to other WWW resources for \LaTeX. - -\end{document} |
