-\section{New math font encodings}
-
-A joint working group of the \TeX{} Users Group and the \LaTeX3
-Project is developing a new 8-bit math font encoding for \TeX{}.
-It is designed to overcome several limitations and implementation
-problems of the old math font encodings and to simplify switching
-between different sets of math fonts, much as the \LaTeX{} font
-selection interface has simplified switching between text fonts.
-
-Since the work on this project relies entirely on volunteer work, we
-cannot give a specific release date yet. However, a prototype
-implementation already exists. This contains several sets of virtual
-fonts, some \LaTeX{} packages and a kernel module; we hope to
-integrate it into the main \LaTeX{} distribution for the next
-release.
-
-Documents using only standard \LaTeX{} commands for math symbols
-should not be affected by switching to the new math font encodings
-However, documents, classes or packages making specific assumptions
-about the encoding of math symbol fonts are likely to break.
-
-Further information about the Math Font Group may be found on
-the World Wide Web at \texttt{http://www.tug.org/twg/mfg/}.
-
-
-\section{A new math accent}
-
-A new math accent, \verb|\mathring|, has been added. This is a math mode
-version of the ring accent (\r{}) which is available in text
-mode with the command \verb|\r|.
-
-\section{Extended \cs{DeclareMathDelimiter}}
-
-The command \verb|\DeclareMathDelimiter| has been extended.
-Normally this command takes six arguments. Previously, when being used
-to declare a character (such as \texttt{[}) as a delimiter, a variant
-form was used with only five arguments. The argument specifying the
-default `math class' was omitted. Now the full six-argument form may be
-used in this case. The extra information is used to implicitly declare
-the character via \verb|\DeclareMathSymbol| for use when the symbol is
-not used with \verb|\left| or \verb|\right|.
-
-The old five-argument form is detected and will work as before.

-\section{Tools distribution}
-
-The \texttt{multicol} package now supports the production of multiple
-columns without balancing the last page. To get this effect use the
-\texttt{multicols*} environment.
-
-The \texttt{layout} package was partly recoded by Hideo Umeki to
-display page layout effects in a better way.
-
-As suggested by Donald Arseneau, the \texttt{calc} package was extended
-to support the new commands \verb|\widthof{<text>}|,
-\verb|\heightof{<text>}|, and \verb|\depthof{<text>}| within a
-\texttt{calc}-expression. At the same time we modified a few kernel
-commands so that \texttt{calc}-expressions can now be used in various
-useful places such as the dimension arguments to the \texttt{tabular}
-environment and the \verb|\rule| command. For many other standard
-\LaTeX{} commands this was already possible.
-
-
-\section{Support for Cyrillic encodings}
-
-We are very pleased that, after a lengthy period of development, a set
-of fonts, encodings and support files for using \LaTeX\ with Cyrillic
-characters will soon be available.
-
-Test versions of the `LH' fonts for these Cyrillic encodings, based on
-the Computer Modern design, are available from CTAN archives in the
-directory \texttt{fonts/cyrillic/lh-test}. The \LaTeX\ support files
-(by Werner Lemberg and Vladimir Volovich) are also available from CTAN
-archives in\\
- \texttt{macros/latex/contrib/supported/t2}
-
-
-\section{Default docstrip header}
-
-Many \LaTeX\ users now distribute packages in documented source form
-using the \textsf{docstrip} system. Docstrip allows a header to be
-placed on generated package files, suitable for giving copyright
-information, or distribution conditions.
-
-We have changed the default version of this header so that it allows
-stripped files to be distributed in ready-to-run installations such as
-the \TeX{}Live CD\@. If you use the default header for distributing
-your files you should check that the new copyright text is acceptable
-to you. The file \texttt{docstrip.dtx} explains how to produce your own
-header if you wish to do so.
