Bug fix. If lipsum is used such that a new paragraph was introduced after

KOMA-Script is a versatile bundle of LaTeX2e document classes and packages. It
aims to be a replacement to the standard LaTeX2e classes. KOMA-Script does not

(internal), scrguide (internal), scrlettr (obsolete), scrlttr2 (letter class),
scrreprt (report class).
Packages at KOMA-Script: scraddr (handling of address files), scrbase (basic
features for class and package authors, e.g, key-value-options), scrdate (e.g.,
name of the day), scrextend (provides some KOMA-Script features for users of
other classes), scrfontsizes (developer help package to generate font size
files), scrhack (beta, improves some other packages), scrjura (beta, writing
laws, contracts etc.), scrkbase (sub-package used by KOMA-Script classes and
packages), scrlfile (manipulations while loading files, packages or classes),
scrpage (obsolete), scrpage2 (configuration and definition of page styles),
scrtime (output of current time), tocbasic (easy generation and handling of
table of contents and lists of floats), tocstyle (alpha), typearea (professional
type area and borders for ordinary persons).
Main documentation files: scrguide.pdf (german), scrguien.pdf (english),
scrhack.pdf (english), scrjura.pdf (german), tocstyle.pdf (english).

Location on CTAN: /macros/latex/contrib/mathastext
Summary description: Use the text font in simple mathematics
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is release 1.14c
+ There was a bug with $, &, \%, and # in math mode which
could show up when ten or more math families had been
assigned. The same bug also affected under the same
circumstances the minus sign when Unicode engines were
used. Fixed.
+ I have modified a bit the behavior of the LGRgreek option, and
defined a new option LGRgreeks. Idem with selfGreek which now
also has a variant selfGreeks (this is related to the behavior
accross distinct math versions.)
+ Bug fix: the Mathastext macro reinitializes the
fonts in the normal and bold math versions, but it also
erroneously redeclared the math alphabet changing commands
which could have been set up in previously defined math
versions (via earlier calls to Mathastext[version_name]).
+ Finally, I have tried to clean up a bit some aspects of the
implementation.

Richard Gill encouraged me to install on CTAN a copy of his and J C
Loredo's prodint font. I have now done so.
from the catalogue entry i have just written:
Product integrals are to products, as integrals are to sums. They
have been around for more than a hundred years, they have not
become part of the standard toolbox, possibly because no-one
invented the right mathematical symbol for them. The
authors remedied that situation by proposing the symbol and
providing this font.
