-\section{Welcome to \LaTeXNews~4}
-
-An issue of \emph{\LaTeXNews} will accompany every future release of
-\LaTeX. 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}
