 \subsection{Spacing issues when using \cs{linethickness}}
 
-In some circumstances the use of \cs{linethickness} introduced a spurious space that shifted objects
-in a \texttt{picture} environments to the right. This has been corrected.

+\subsection{Adjusting \texttt{fleqn}}
+
+In \pkg{amsmath} the \cs{mathindent} parameter used with the
+\texttt{fleqn} design is a rubber length paramter allowing for setting
+it to a value such as \texttt{1em minus 1em}, i.e., so the the normal
+indentation can be reduced in case of very wide math displays.
+This is now also supported by the \LaTeX{} standard classes.
+
+In addition a compressable space between formula and equation number
+in the \texttt{equation} environment got added when the \texttt{fleqn}
+option is used so that a very wide formula doesn't bump into the
+equation number.
