Within \LaTeX, -encodings still have the usual uppercase names in uses such as -\verb|\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}| and \verb|\fontencoding{T1}|. -\LaTeX\ will automatically convert to the lowercase form while -constructing the file name. -\LaTeX\ will input the `fd' file under the old name if it fails to -find the file with the new name, so existing collections of fd files -should still work with this new release. - -The change \emph{does} affect the configuration files that may be used -to make the \LaTeX\ format with initex. For example, the file -\texttt{fonttext.ltx} previously specified \verb|\input{T1cmr.fd}|. -It now has \verb|\input{t1cmr.fd}|. -If you use a local file \texttt{fonttext.cfg} -you will need to make similar changes, as \verb|\input{T1cmr.fd}| -will not work as \texttt{T1cmr.fd} is no longer in the distribution. - -The files affected by this change all have names of the form -\verb|*.fd| or \verb|*enc.def|. - -\section{Another input encoding} -Thanks to work by S\o ren Sandmann, the \textsf{inputenc} package now -supports the IBM codepage~865 used in Scandinavia. - -\section{Better user-defined math display environments} -Suppose that you want to define an environment for displaying text -that is numbered as an equation. A straightforward way to do this is -as follows: -\begin{verbatim} - \newenvironment{texteqn} - {\begin{equation} - \begin{minipage}{0.9\linewidth}} - {\end{minipage} - \end{equation}} -\end{verbatim} -However, if you have tried this then you will probably have noticed -that it does not work perfectly when used in the middle of a paragraph -because an inter-word space appears at the beginning of the first -line after the environment. - -There is now an extra command (with a very long name) available that -you can use to avoid this problem; it should be inserted as shown here: -\begin{verbatim} - \newenvironment{texteqn} - {\begin{equation} - \begin{minipage}{0.9\linewidth}} - {\end{minipage} - \end{equation} - \ignorespacesafterend} -\end{verbatim} - -\section{Docstrip improvements} -The \textsf{docstrip} program that is used to unpack the \LaTeX\ -sources has undergone further development. The new version should be -able to process all old `batchfiles' but it allows a simpler syntax in -new `batchfiles' (no need to define \verb|\def\batchfile{|\ldots). - -It also allows `target' directories to be specified when writing -files. This directory support is disabled by default unless activated -in a local \texttt{docstrip.cfg} configuration file. -See \texttt{docstrip.dtx} for details. - -\section{AMS \LaTeX\ update} -Since the last \LaTeX\ release in June, the American Mathematical -Society have re-issued the `AMS\LaTeX' classes and packages, fixing -several reported problems. - -\section{Graphics package update} -The \LaTeX\ color and graphics packages have been updated slightly, -principally to support more dvi drivers, see the readme file in the -\textsf{graphics} distribution. - -\section{EC Fonts released} -The first release of the Extended Computer Modern fonts has just been -made. (In January 1997.) - -This release of \LaTeX\ does \emph{not} default to these `ec' fonts -as its T1 encoded fonts. By default it will -use the `dc' fonts if the T1 encoding is requested. - -As noted in \texttt{install.txt} you may run \TeX\ on the install file -\texttt{ec.ins} \emph{after} unpacking the base distribution but -\emph{before} making the \LaTeX\ format. This will produce -suitable `fd' files making \LaTeX\ (including, for the first time, the -\textsf{slides} class) use the `ec' fonts as the default T1 encoded -font set. - - -\end{document} - |
