Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We discovered that occasionally the package code was unable
to locate the gregorio executable in the TeXLive 2017 pretest.
While unable to determine the exact conditions to replicate
this bug consistently, we have come up with a workaround
which avoids the problematic code.

mathtools
bundle.

Summary description: Mathematical tools to use with amsmath
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Since the last release (2015) the following issues have been addressed:
* Changed amsmath requirement to 2016/11/05 (in order to use the aligned fix)
* Applied the amsmath aligned fix to multlined, now the left part aligned
correctly.
Reported by campa in a note to <https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/369212/3929>
* Reimplemented `DeclarePairedDelimiter` and friends to fix the following problem:
mathclose{
vert}^2 vs mathclose
vert^2
They might not give the same result (depending on the font setup).
Thus the internal wrappers need to be changed into three
branches: star, nostarnonscaled, nostarscaled, where the
difference between the last two is whether or not braces are
applied to the fences.
This problem was reported in <https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/364308/3929>
* Since we were cleaning up `DeclarePairedDelimiter` and friends,
`DeclarePairedDelimiterX` is now implemented as a call to
`DeclarePairedDelimiterXPP` with empty pre- and postcode.
* The DeclarePairedDelimiter(X,XPP) reimplementation removes a
grouping issue reported in
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/366665/3929>
* Since there is no longer any `nostar` wrapper branch, redeclaring
the `nostar` wrapper will now give an error.
* Removed `-jot` from the multlined implementation (invisible line).
Issue reported in at least
<http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/258162/3929> and
<https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/369156/3929>.
It is not 100% correct, but better than with `-jot`.
* Fixed bug in empheq in relation to AMS clases
* Renamed macros in mhsetup, mathtools and empheq such that any
xxx_yyy: macro should now contain EQ, MH or HT as a prefix or infix.
Thus making everyting truely separate from expl3 defined syntax.
* Changed shortintertext such that as long as 'original-intertext=false'
(the default),
shortintertext now only work in the same context as intertext
* shortintertext is now also an error inside the empheq construction
* Sporadic space fixed in
oeqref, reported by Christian Vetter (private email)
* Added ignorespaces after
oindent (intertexts), bug inherited from amsmath
