Date: 17 Mar 89 Message No: 014 To: TeX implementors and distributors From: Barbara Beeton Subject: Details of TeX 2.96-2.98 changes; SYMBOL.MF Message #13 informed you that TeX bug fixes had brought the version up to 2.98. The details of these changes are below, in a single difference list between the WEB files for 2.95 [sic] and 2.98. The relevant addenda to TeX82.BUG and ERRATA.TeX follow. The difference list was generated on a VAX under VMS, and the format of the errata changes is also different from what I usually send. I have been unable to establish a good enough connection to Score, where the distribution versions of the files reside, to obtain full copies of versions after 2.96, and have had to reconstruct the latest version from partial difference lists. I have done this very carefully, and believe the lists here to be true and complete, but will verify that as soon as possible after contact with Score has been re-established. I realize that some of the lines in the difference list are longer than 80 characters; the conventions of the VMS file comparison are different from those under TOPS-20. If any problems occur in transmission, please let me know, and I will try to generate a copy in the other format. I know that it is impossible to validate these changes in your implementations without a current set of TRIP files. I will try to make obtaining and sending them my highest priority after meeting a couple of deadlines that the Math Society finds important. Thank you for your patience. A small change has been made to the file SYMBOL.MF. It affects only the labels on proof output; it should have no effect on .TFM or raster files. Details are listed below. ######################################################################## Differences between TEX.WEB 2.95 and 2.98 ************ File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-295.WEB;1 33 34 % A reward of $81.92 will be paid to the first finder of any remaining bug. 35 % (This amount will double again in 1989.) 36 ****** File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-298.WEB;2 33 % Version 2.96 corrects bug in "Infinite shrinkage" recovery (January 1989). 34 % Version 2.97 corrects blunder in creating 2.95 (February 1989). 35 % Version 2.98 omits save_for_after at outer level (March 1989). 36 37 % A reward of $163.84 will be paid to the first finder of any remaining bug. 38 % (This amount will double again in 1990.) 39 ************ ************ File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-295.WEB;1 173 @d banner=='This is TeX, Version 2.95' {printed when \TeX\ starts} 174 ****** File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-298.WEB;2 176 @d banner=='This is TeX, Version 2.98' {printed when \TeX\ starts} 177 ************ ************ File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-295.WEB;1 1641 if not input_ln(term_in,true) then t_open_in; 1642 @.End of file on the terminal@> ****** File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-298.WEB;2 1644 if not input_ln(term_in,true) then fatal_error("End of file on the terminal!"); 1645 @.End of file on the terminal@> ************ ************ File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-295.WEB;1 5871 begin check_full_save_stack; 5872 save_type(save_ptr):=insert_token; save_level(save_ptr):=level_zero; 5873 save_index(save_ptr):=t; incr(save_ptr); 5874 end; ****** File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-298.WEB;2 5874 begin if cur_level>level_one then 5875 begin check_full_save_stack; 5876 save_type(save_ptr):=insert_token; save_level(save_ptr):=level_zero; 5877 save_index(save_ptr):=t; incr(save_ptr); 5878 end; 5879 end; ************ ************ File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-295.WEB;1 18294 glue_ptr(p):=r; 18295 end; ****** File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-298.WEB;2 18299 glue_ptr(p):=r; q:=r; 18300 end; ************ ************ File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-295.WEB;1 18775 q:=new_skip_param(top_skip_code); link(q):=p; {now |temp_ptr=glue_ptr(q)|} 18776 if width(temp_ptr)>height(p) then width(temp_ptr):=width(temp_ptr)-height(p) ****** File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-298.WEB;2 18780 q:=new_skip_param(top_skip_code); {now |temp_ptr=glue_ptr(q)|} 18781 if width(temp_ptr)>height(p) then width(temp_ptr):=width(temp_ptr)-height(p) ************ ************ File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-295.WEB;1 18810 glue_ptr(p):=r; 18811 end; ****** File SYSA:[TEX.NEW]TEX-298.WEB;2 18815 glue_ptr(p):=r; q:=r; 18816 end; ************ ######################################################################## Additions to TEX82.BUG 350.
