Many of you will\newline -be thrilled to know that, following the exchange of over 1600 e-mail -messages dissecting various aspects of its philosophy such as `how -many angels can appear in the name of a file before it becomes -non-free', this version\newline -is now officially a DFSG (Debian Free Software Guidelines) approved license. -The discussions start at -\url{http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2002/debian-legal-200207/threads.html} -with high traffic throughout August to October~2002 and further -heated discussions starting in April~2003 and concluding -around June at -\url{http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/debian-legal-200306/msg00206.html}. - -The important features of the new version are useful clarifications in -the wording, and revised procedures\newline -for making a change to the Current Maintainer of a package. Special -thanks to all those people from\newline Debian Legal who worked -constructively with us\newline -on this onerous task, especially but not exclusively\newline -Jeff Licquia and Branden Robinson. - - -\section{Small updates to varioref} - -The English has been corrected in \verb|\reftextbefore| -(an incompatible change). There are other extensions -such as \verb|\labelformat|, \verb|\Ref|, \verb|\Vref| and \verb|\vpagerefnum|. -Some Dutch text has also been changed and two\newline -new options added: \package{slovak} and \package{slovene}. - - -\section{New and more robust commands} - -Many of the math mode commands for compound symbols have been made -robust and a new robust command has been added: \verb|\nobreakdashes|. -This last is a low-level command, borrowed from the \package{amsmath} -package, for use only before hyphens or dashes. It prevents the line -break that is normally allowed\newline -after the following sequence of dashes. - - -\section{Fixing font sizes} - -The new \package{fix-cm} package, by Walter Schmidt, changes the CM font -definition (\texttt{.fd}) files so that similar design sizes are used -in both the \texttt{OT1} and \texttt{T1} encodings. - - -\section{Font encodings} - -A number of options have been added to the \package{textcomp} package, -enabling only available glyphs to be used. -Also, the `NFSS font families' are now divided into five different groups -according to the subset of glyphs each provides from the full -collection of symbols in the TS1 encoding. -Given sufficient information about a font family -\package{textcomp} will use this in order to limit the\newline -typesetting to those glyphs that are available. - -Use of this mechanism has also enhanced \verb|\oldstylenums| -to use the current font if possible. - - -\section{Displaying font tables} - -With the \package{nfssfont} package you can now -specify the font to display by giving its `NFSS classification', -rather than needing to know its external font file's name. -It is also now possible to generate large collections of font -tables in batch mode by providing a suitable input file. - - -\section{New input encodings} - -The \package{inputenc} package has been extended as follows: -\package{macce} input encoding -(Apple Central European), -thanks to Radek Tryc and Marcin Wolinski; \package{cp1257}\newline -for Baltic languages; \package{latin10}, -thanks to Ionel Ciob\^{i}c\u{a}.\newline -The euro symbol has by -now been added to several encodings: -\package{ansinew}, \package{cp1250} -and \package{cp1252} (which also\newline -has another addition), whilst \package{cp858} -adds it to \package{cp850}. - - -\section{Unicode input} - -Partial, experimental support for text files that use the Unicode -encoding form UTF-8 is now provided by the option \package{utf8} for -the \package{inputenc} package. - -The only Unicode text file characters supported by the current version -are those based on the most common inputs for glyphs from the small -collection\newline -of standard \LaTeX{} Latin encodings. - - -\section{And finally \ldots\ pict2e} - -The old, non-functional version of this package has been removed - as there is now a fully working version from Hubert G\"a{\ss}lein - and Rolf Niepraschk. It is described - in \textit{The \LaTeX{} Manual}. - -\end{document} |
