+\section{Integration of \pkg{remreset} and \pkg{chngcntr} packages 
+         into the kernel}
+
+With the optional argument to \cs{newcounter} \LaTeX{} offers to
+automatically reset counters when some counter is stepped, e.g.,
+stepping a \texttt{chapter} counter resets the \texttt{section}
+counter (and recursively all other heading counters). However, what
+was until now missing was a way to undo such a link between counters
+or to link two counters after they have been defined.
+
+This can be now down with \cs{counterwithin} and \cs{counterwithout},
+respectively. In the past one had to load the \pkg{chngcntr} package
+for this. For the programming level we also added
+\cs{@removefromreset} as the counterpart o the already existing
+\cs{@addtoreset} command. Up to now this was offered by the
+\pkg{remreset} package.
