It will tell you about important events, such as major bug -fixes, newly available packages, or any other \LaTeX{} news. - -\section{\LaTeXe---the new \LaTeX{} release} - -The most important news is the release of \LaTeXe, the new version of -the \LaTeX{} software. This version has better support for fonts, -graphics and colour, and will be actively maintained by the \LaTeX3 -project team. Upgrades will be issued every six months, in June and -December. - -\section{Why a new \LaTeX?} - -Over the years many extensions have been developed for \LaTeX. This -is, of course, a sure sign of its continuing popularity but it has had -one unfortunate result: incompatible \LaTeX{} formats came into use at -different sites. Thus, to process documents from various places, a -site maintainer was forced to keep \LaTeX{} (with and without \NFSS), -\SLiTeX, \AmSLaTeX, and so on. In addition, when looking at a source -file it was not always clear for which format the document was written. - -To put an end to this unsatisfactory -situation a new release of \LaTeX{} was produced. -It brings all such extensions back under a single format and thus -prevents the proliferation of mutually incompatible dialects of -\LaTeX~2.09. The new release was available for several months as a -test version, and the final release of 1~June officially -replaces the old version. - -\section{Processing documents with \LaTeXe} - -Documents written for \LaTeX~2.09 will -still be read by \LaTeXe. Any such document is run in -\emph{\LaTeX~2.09 compatibility mode}. - -Unfortunately, compatibility mode comes with a price: it can run -up to 50\% slower than \LaTeX~2.09 did. If you want to run your document -in the faster \emph{native mode}, you should try replacing the line: -\begin{verbatim} - \documentstyle[<options>,<packages>]{<class>} -\end{verbatim} -with: -\begin{verbatim} - \documentclass[<options>]{<class>} - \usepackage{latexsym,<packages>} -\end{verbatim} -Unfortunately, this will not always work, because some \LaTeX~2.09 -packages will only work in \LaTeXe{} compatibility mode. You should find -out if there is a \LaTeXe{} version of the package available. - -\LaTeXe{} native mode also gives access to the new features of \LaTeXe, -described in \emph{\LaTeXe{} for authors}. - -\section{New packages} - -\LaTeXe{} has much better support for graphics, colour, fonts, and -multi-lingual typesetting. The following software should be available -from the distributor who brought you \LaTeXe: - -\begin{citations} -\item[babel] for typesetting in many languages. -\item[color] for colour support. -\item[graphics] for including images. -\item[mfnfss] for using bitmap fonts. -\item[psnfss] for using Type~1 fonts. -\item[tools] other packages by the \LaTeX3 team. -\end{citations} -The packages come with full documentation, and are also described in -\emph{\LaTeX: A Document Processing System} or -\emph{The \LaTeX{} Companion}. - -\section{Further information} - -More information about \LaTeXe{} is to be found in: - -\begin{citations} -\item[\LaTeX: A Document Preparation System] - Leslie Lamport, \AW, 2nd ed, 1994. -\item[The \LaTeX{} Companion] - Goossens, Mittelbach and Samarin, \AW, 1994. -\end{citations} -The \LaTeX{} distribution comes with documentation on the new features of -\LaTeX: - -\begin{citations} -\item[\LaTeXe{} for authors] - describes the new features of \LaTeX{} documents, - in the file \verb|usrguide.tex|. -\item[\LaTeXe{} for class and package writers] - describes the new features of \LaTeX{} classes and packages, - in the file \verb|clsguide.tex|. -\item[\LaTeXe{} font selection] - describes the new features of \LaTeX{} fonts for - class and package writers, - in the file \verb|fntguide.tex|. -\end{citations} -For more information on \TeX{} and \LaTeX, get in touch with your local -\TeX{} Users Group, or the international \TeX{} Users Group, -P.~O.~Box~869, Santa~Barbara, CA~93102-0869, USA, Fax:~+1~805~963~8358, -EMail:~tug@tug.org. - -\end{document} - - - |
