This file is public domain. + +3.0 (20 September 2005) +* Eplain now hosted at Sarovar: http://sarovar.org/projects/eplain/ +* Support for hyperlinks! +* Support for (a few) LaTeX packages, notably graphicx and color. +* Incorporated ifpdf.sty into eplain.tex [2005-08-15]. +* Many improvements of double-column macros by Stepan Kasal. +* ConTeXt compatibility; do not wipe out toc file unnecessarily to + allow multiple contents. [2005-08-12]. +* Avoid pagebreak at the xref \write before a list item. [2004-07-26] +* When under \indexproofing, allow hyphenation of indexed words and + avoid shift of page body. [2004-08-31] +* New documentation for the hyperlinks and the LaTeX package support, + many improvements of the old docs. + +2.8 (2 September 2000) +* Added a section on user-defined environments to progdef.texi and + fixed a few typos in documentation. Suggested by Paul Abrahams + [25 April 1999] +* Added a fix to a buggy double-column macro that Adam Lewenberg + introduced when attempting to fix the balancing macros. + [9 April 2000] + +2.7 (14 January 1998) +* Added the control sequence \gutterbox as a hook to add arbitrary + vertical material between columns in multi-column mode. [5 December 1997] +* Removed spurious space in \verbatim macro. [26 March 1997] +* Added some code to the multiple columns section so that when + switching from multi- to single-columns lines are not lost. + [22 September 1996]. +* Changed \smash to \smash@@ in arrow.tex to allow arrow.tex to work with + amstex. [2 March 1996]. +* Changed all dimension values in margin setting macros to 'true'; redefined + \magnification so that this works. + +2.6 (2 May 1994) +* Indexing support (in conjunction with MakeIndex). +* Generalization of .toc files for lists of figures/tables, etc. +* \commdiag and other arrow macros work again. +* \eqalignno right-justifies the first column in \leftdisplays, as in + non-leftdisplays. + +2.5 (31 March 1994) +* Do not ignore first \ref command. +* Make \verbatim (and the || feature) work again (thanks to Dorai Sitaram). + +2.4 (16 March 1994) +* \catcode of @ properly restored (reported by adam@symcom.math.uiuc.edu). +* `| ' in \verbatim argument documented (also reported by adam). +* | not hardwired as the \verbatim escape character (thanks to + dorai@cs.rice.edu). +* Defining \noarrow before eplain.tex is read omits arrow macros + (suggested by Rex Shudde <0024P@NAVPGS.BITNET> and + murray@macadam.mpce.mq.edu.au.) +* Double column macros revamped (thanks to guichard@fermat.whitman.edu) so + \singlecolumn can be invoked on the same page as \doublecolumns. + 3- and 4-column typesetting also supported. + Column ejects also supported (sort of). +* \parskip set to zero before each footnote (but not for the footnote text). +* \ref and \cite conflicts with amstex described in manual. + +2.3 (1 March 1993) + +* New macros for arbitrary cross-references. +* \iterate is redefined to allow \else in loops. +* texnames.sty uses \spacefactor1000 instead of an empty hbox to handle + \TeX at the end of a sentence. +* New macros for hooks and properties. +* \centereddisplays and \leftdisplays can be repeated, and called in any + order. +* New macros \csn and \ece to do common expansion things. + +2.2 (11 November 1992) +* New \toks register \everylist, expanded at the start of every list. +* \footnoterulewidth defined as 2in, not 2true in, thus allowing the use + of \mag after reading eplain.tex. The `2true in' was Knuth's, but I + don't know why he did it. +* \obeywhitespace works inside a \vbox. +* \boxit is \long, and uses \ehrule and \evrule. +* \writenumberedtocentry expands the chapter number, so `\the + ' can be used. +* \verbatim doesn't begin and end with \par, so it can be used in the + middle of a paragraph. +* \pathafterhook added to \path in path.sty, so macros can execute + cleanup actions. +* The \path command and friends are documented in the manual. -- cgit v1.2.3
