Version 3.16b of the UK FAQ
by Robin Fairbairns 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

i have just installed the end september release of the uk faq, here in cambridge (it'll be making its way out to the rest of the world any minute now). i have also updated the web version at http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq details of the new release are attached. i must apologise for missing the end august release: ill health got in the way (there had been little added that month, anyway, and something had to give in my disrupted work schedules). Robin Fairbairns ===================================================================== Changes in version 3.16b This file incorporates the (small number of) changes from version 3.16 that previously appeared in file CHANGES-3.16a; the earlier changes are marked with an asterisk. New answer: Label optionclash: clashing package options error in LaTeX Revised answers: Label ECfonts: reword discussion of mathematics and EC fonts (i.e., emphasise that there's no direct relation) *Label filename: extend macro definitions, hopefully expanding the usefulness and usability of the answer Label hyperdupdest: other sources of the error than repeated pages Label minitoc: corrected error in q-minitoc code, tidy comments Label minxampl: include the word minimal, since it's a common search term Label music: mention Lilypond as a source of TeX-compatible music Label poster: mention Nicola Talbot's experimental flowfram layout package Label texinfo: rewritten in parts, following a reader comment Label texsystems: miktex installation has changed with v2.5 Label tutbitslatex: added pointers to TUG-maintained material on fonts Label virtualfonts: re-thought through Bugfixes: *Label cmdstar: part of the example code was just wrong *Label enumerate: unclarity in text caused by a typo *Bug in introduction=yes HTML code corrected Label atsigns: mark-up error caused curious HTML output (editorial improvement too) Future releases: Despite missing the nominal end August 2006 delivery (through an unfortunate combination of events), I'm aiming to maintain the stream of (approximately) monthly bugfix releases. There are no current plans for a major release, though work on the new web-based version continues. Robin Fairbairns 2006-10-02
