- This file records noteworthy changes.
-
- 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
- <register>' 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.
