+                         LaTeX Patches Guide   %                          30 June 1995     C This document describes the procedure by which changes to the LaTeX > distribution in between the six-monthly releases will be made.  E Such changes will be made only when major problems are discovered and A fixed.  Other changes will only be made twice a year, in June and 	 December.   B Changes which affect the file latex.ltx, and hence the format, areB called `patches to the LaTeX kernel': this concept is described inD detail below.  The changes of this type are described briefly at the) end of this file, in chronological order.   D All changes to all files should be listed, in reverse-time order, in? the files called changes.txt: there is one in each distribution 
 subdirectory.     . Patches to the LaTeX kernel dated <1995/06/01>. ==============================================  F New releases of LaTeX will occur at six-monthly intervals, in June andC December.  Between these releases it may be necessary to make small  updates to fix major problems.  C We have made it relatively easy to install updates that affect only = the format---by placing all these changes in one file, called  ltpatch.ltx.  3 In order to update your LaTeX format you should put A ltpatch.ltx where it can be read by iniTeX and then run iniTeX on > latex.ltx.  You do not need to unpack the latex sources again.  B In this run of iniTeX, the file ltpatch.ltx (if it exists) will beD read just before the format file is `dumped'.  This will correct anyA bugs and it will modify the opening banner of LaTeX: for example,  from:    LaTeX2e <1995/06/01>   to:   " LaTeX2e <1995/06/01> patch level 1    ? (The ltpatch.ltx distributed with this  `full' release of LaTeX 6  is `patch level 0' which does not change the banner.)      ; Changes to the kernel in LaTeX2e <1995/06/01> patch level 1 ; -----------------------------------------------------------  (1995/06/30)  $ %%% latex/1701   \@@sqrt not defined   %%% latex/1710:  \typein broken       1 Changes to non-kernel files in LaTeX <1994/12/01> 2 --------------------------------------------------  3 This section details files that have changed in the + `base', `tools' and `mfnfss' distributions. : Updates to the `babel' `psnfss', `amslatex' and `graphics'9 distributions will be announced separately, if necessary.   ; To activate the non-kernel updates you have to retrieve the > .dtx files and unpack them with their corresponding .ins filesF or alternatively (for the files in `base') you may obtain the unpacked files from ctan archives.    base/classes.dtx unpacked/article.cls unpacked/report.cls  unpacked/book.cls      Fixes for latex/;     1647: Article, titlepage, abstract > 1 page won't split #     1667: missing \par in indexitem E     1683: \thanks text overprinting footnote mark in title footnotes.    base/latex209.dtx  unpacked/latex209.def     Fix for latex/ ;    1684: Redefinition of \thefootnote in compatibility mode    base/ltpictur.dtx .    Fixes related to the `autoloading' feature.0    These do not affect the standard LaTeX format   tools/layout.dtx     Fix for tools/,     1678: bug in layout.sty (## change to #)      E --- Copyright 1994--1995 the LaTeX3 project.
