Summary description: Manual change markup
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The changes-package allows the user to manually markup changes of text,
such as additions, deletions, or replacements. Changed text is shown in
a different color; deleted text is striked out. Additionally, text can
be highlighted and/or commented. The package allows free definition of
additional authors and their associated color. It also allows you to
change the markup of changes, authors, highlights or comments.
Release 3.1.0 introduces a new script for markup removal. Furthermore,
the manual has been updated.

Announcement text:

>From the README
Changed (2018/12/12)
o memoir v3.7h
-- The following packages are no longer embedded into the class
sources: array, delarray, dcolumn and tabularx.
These are all part of the _tools_ section of every LaTeX
installation, thus there is no reason to embed it anymore (let
alone keep track of when they are updated). Instead we require them
from the LaTeX installation.
Note that the class still makes its own defaults for some of the
default settings for these packages.
Historical note: When the class was first created updating LaTeX
was not an easy task, often done by hand. Also there was no manual
requirements, or if there were a manual it might not be easy to
find. So it made sense to have it all in one place and their
manuals added to the class manual. This usage information in the
manual will stay, but might no longer be 100% up to date, so users
are always referred to the package manuals.
We may remove more embedded packages in the future and replace them
with just require the distribution provided ones.
-- remembered to note pagerefname when dealing with page notes.
-- fixed bug in inline toc entries in the manual when there are subitem
that are not typeset and hyperref is in use (endlinechar=-1 around
the toc), also noted in the manual that this problem may occur and
how to deal with it.
One might argue that endlinechar=-1 should be the default thenever
the ToC are being typeset.
-- Added SingleSpacing* which does *not* add a vskip at the
end. Also adjusted SingleSpacing such that it does not emit a
vskip when used in the preamble. This fixes
