It will tell you about important events, such as major bug -fixes, newly available packages, or any other \LaTeX{} news. - -\section{December 1994 release of \LaTeX} - -December 1994 sees the second release of \LaTeXe. We are on schedule -to deliver a release of \LaTeX{} every six months, in December and -June. - -This release has seen quite a lot of activity, which is not too -surprising as it's only been a year since the first test release of -\LaTeXe. We don't expect so much activity in the next six months. - -Many of the changes are minor improvements and bug-fixes---see -\emph{\LaTeXe{} for authors} (\verb|usrguide.tex|), \emph{\LaTeXe{} -font selection} (\verb|fntguide.tex|) and our change log -(\verb|changes.txt|) for more details. - -However, there are two important new packages available for \LaTeX: -\texttt{inputenc} and AMS-\LaTeX. - -\section{Accented input} - -One of the problems with writing non-English documents in \LaTeX{} is -the accent commands. Reading documents containing text like -\verb|na\"\i ve| is frustrating, especially if your keyboard allows -you to type \texttt{na\"\i ve}. - -In the past, \LaTeX{} has not supported input containing accented -characters such as \texttt{\"\i}, because Windows, Macintosh and Unix -all have different ways of dealing with accented input, called -\emph{input encodings}. - -However, the \verb|inputenc| package allows you to specify which input -encoding your document is written with, for example to use the ISO -Latin-1 encoding, you type: -\begin{verbatim} - \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} -\end{verbatim} -At the moment, \verb|inputenc| supports the \verb|ascii| and -\verb|latin1| input encodings, but more will be added with future -releases. - -The \verb|inputenc| package is -currently a test release. The user interface for the full release will -be upwardly compatible with the test version. - -\section{AMS-\LaTeX{}} - - AMS-\LaTeX{} is a set of miscellaneous extensions for \LaTeX{} - distributed by the American Mathematical Society. They provide superior - information structure and superior printed output for mathematical - documents. - - There are far too many features of AMS-\LaTeX{} to list here. - AMS-\LaTeX{} is described in the accompanying documentation, - and in \emph{The \LaTeX{} Companion}. - - Version 1.2beta of AMS-\LaTeX{} was released for testing by intrepid - users in October 1994. The full release of AMS-\LaTeX{}~1.2 is expected - in early January 1995. - - It will be divided into two bundles: - \begin{itemize} - - \item the \verb|amsfonts| packages, which give access to - hundreds of new mathematical symbols, and new math fonts - such as blackboard bold and fraktur. - - \item the \verb|amsmath| packages, which provide finer control over - mathematical typesetting, such as multi-line subscripts, - enhanced theorem and proof environments, - and improved displayed equations, - - \end{itemize} - For compatibility with older documents, an \verb|amstex| package will be - provided. - -\section{\LaTeX{} on the internet} - -\LaTeX{} has its own home page on the World Wide Web, with the URL: -\begin{verbatim} - http://www.tex.ac.uk/CTAN/latex/ -\end{verbatim} -This page describes \LaTeX{} and the \LaTeX3 project, and contains -pointers to other \LaTeX{} resources, such as the user guides, the -\TeX{} Frequently Asked Questions, and the \LaTeX{} bugs database. - -The electronic home of anything \TeX-related is the Comprehensive -\TeX{} Archive Network (CTAN). This is a network of cooperating ftp -sites, with over a gigabyte of \TeX{} material: -\begin{verbatim} - ftp://ftp.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/ - ftp://ftp.shsu.edu/tex-archive/ - ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/ -\end{verbatim} -For more information, see the \LaTeX{} home page. - -\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, -P.~O.~Box~869, Santa~Barbara, CA~93102-0869, USA, Fax:~+1~805~963~8358, -EMail:~tug@tug.org. - - -\end{document} |
