##
+## 26 Dec 2019 John Collins Change place of setting of $view_file
+## Make fully consistent set of options for engines:
+## -latex, -latex=...,
+## preserving backward compatibility, and avoiding suprises.
+## 11 Dec 2019 John Collins Change rules for wrapping in log file: This deals
+## with xelatex wrapping at > standard number of
+## bytes in presence of non-ASCII Unicode characters.
+## 4 Dec 2019 John Collins If there were missing subdirectories in output/aux
+## directories, and these were successfully created,
+## then ignore error from *latex, since rerun may
+## succeed.
+## 14 Nov 2019 John Collins Add comment.
+## 12 Nov 2019 John Collins Use $compiling_cmd, $warning_cmd, $success_cmd
+# on normal make, rather than just in -pvc mode.
+## 5 Aug 2019 John Collins The changing of '\' to '/' in filenames is now
+## done for msys as well as MSWin32.
+## 8 Jul 2019 John Collins Allow addition of hook for processing lists of
+## missing source files, used after run of *latex.
+## 2 Jul 2019 John Collins Silence message about disallowing change of output
+## file type.
+## V. 4.66
## 28 Jun 2019 John Collins Try to deal with log file parsing problems
