ANNOUNCING: e-Omega 3.14159--1.15--2.1, Release Candidate 1 e-Omega 3.14159--1.15--2.1 is now released to the public in its second release candidate version. Pre-built binaries are currently available for the MiKTeX distribution (see www.miktex.org) and the fpTeX distribution (see ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/fptex/standalone/); the official sources are currently available (via CVS) from the MiKTeX source tree. e-Omega provides all the features available in Omega (except for the SGML/XML handling) and all the features available in e-TeX (except for its multidirectional TeX--XeT capabilities, which have been abandoned in favour of the Omega ones). This release fixes the most outstanding bug in the Omega 1.15 series (the TRIP bug), which also affected the previous release (RC0) of e- Omega. Given that RC0 has already been tested (successfully) in production-use environments, it is my belief that this version should be quite ready for widespread use. My opinion could be strongly biased, though, so you are all encouraged at proving me (right or wrong). -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta "Da grande lotterò per la pace" "A me me la compra il mio babbo" (Altan) ("When I grow up, I will fight for peace" "My daddy will buy it for me")
