-\subsection{Support \pkg{calc} in \cs{hspace} and \cs{vspace}}
-
-The \cs{hspace} and \cs{vspace} commands simply passed their argument
-to a \TeX{} primitive to produce the necessary space. As a result it
-was impossible to specify anything other than a simple dimension value
-in the argument. This has been changed, so that now \pkg{calc} syntax
-(as in other places) is also supported with these commands.
