+This document is under construction \ldots
+
+
+
+
+\section{Changes to the \LaTeX{} kernel}
+
+
+\subsection{Guard against \cs{unskip} at the start of a tabular cell}
+
+If a \env{tabular} or \env{array} cell started with command that
+issued an \cs{unskip} as its first action centering the column got
+broken because the space on the left got removed. This got corrected
+by adding a minusule additional space after the stretching space that
+could be safely removed in such a case without beig noticable.
+
+This change was also applied in the \pkg{array} package.
+
+\githubissue{102}
+
+
+\subsection{Fixes to Unicode table data}
+
+\texttt{U+012F} which is \enquote{i with ogonek} should produce an
+\enquote{i} and not a\enquote{dotless i}. This has been corrected.
+
+\githubissue{122}
+
+the Unicode slots \texttt{27E8} and \texttt{27E9} have been mapped to
+\cs{textlangle} and \cs{textrangle} which is the recommended mapping.
+
+\githubissue{110}
+
+\subsection{Improve \cs{InputIfFileExists}'s handling of fie names}
+
+In rare circumstances it was possible that \cs{InputIfFileExists}
+would work incorrectly, e.g., a cnstruction such as
+\begin{verbatim}
+\InputIfFileExists{foo}{\input{bar}}{}
+\end{verbatim}
+Would not load the files \texttt{foo.tex} and \texttt{bar.tex} but
+would load \texttt{foo.tex} twice. This has been corrected.
+
+\githubissue{109}
+
+
+\subsection{Improve wording of a warning message}
+
+\githubissue{107}
+
+
+\subsection{\pkg{nfssfont}: Generate a font table as the default action}
+
+With the small file \texttt{nfssfont.tex} it is possible to produce
+font tables and other font tests in the style set up by Don Knuth. As
+in nearly all cases producing a font table is the desired action this
+action has been made the default so that one can simply hit enter
+instead of having to write \verb=\table\bye=.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+\section{Changes to packages in the \pkg{tools} category}
+
+\subsection{\pkg{multicol}: Introduce \texttt{minrows} counter for balancing}
+
+When there are only a few lines of text on a page at the end of a
+\env{multicols} environment balancing them looks rather odd, e.g., if
+you then end up with three columns each containing a single line. This
+can now be controlled through the counter \texttt{minrows} (default is
+1) which requires at least that many lines in the first column during
+balancing. Thus, if you set it to \texttt{2} one would get a
+distribution of \texttt{2+1+0} lines and if set it to three, the result
+would have been \texttt{3+0+0} instead of the default \texttt{1+1+1}.
+
+What is most appropriate really depends on the circumstances, but this
+now gives you the tools to make local or global adjustements.
