empheq.xml: 2.15 2017-03-31
mhsetup.xml: 1.3 2017-03-31
License: lppl1.3
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
