	pattern file.

2000-02-04 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* greek/greek.dtx : After \selectlanguage{polutonikogreek} the
	fonts were not reset when returning to an english environment
	PR3168, found by Maarten Wisse, (mwisse at theo.uu.nl)

2000-01-28 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* norsk/norsk.dtx : In the definition of "- we should use
	\bbl@allowhyphens instead of \allowhyphens. 
	Found by Rune Kleveland (runekl at math.uio.no)

2000-01-21 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* english/english.dtx : When the option USenglish was used the
	format of the date was *not* american. Also, in some cases the
	control sequence \l@<\Currentoption> was not properly
	defined. Found by Walter Schmidt (walter.schmidt at arcormail.de)

2000-01-20 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* swedish/swedish.dtx: Additions from Erik sthols
	(erik_osthols at yahoo.com):
	- The unnecessary version of "=, which I really only included at
	the time because it was there in germanb.dtx, from whence I stole
	most (all?) of my ideas then, has been modified to something that
	is actually useful for typesetting Swedish, and which was (again)
	stolen from the finnish.dtx file. 
	- The likewise unnecessary "~, again stolen from germanb without
	my having a clear idea of why it would be useful, has been
	deleted.
	- The new and *very* useful version of \- as found in
	e. g. finnish.dtx has been included. 
	- The definitions of "a, "A, "o etc. have been changed to allow
	subsequent hyphenation, as in current versions of germanb.
	- As typesetting the date as "20 januari 2000" is, if not
	uncommon, then at least much less common than some other varieties
	of formatting of dates in Sweden, two commands have been added to
	provide for the much more common "20/1 2000" and "2000-01-20".

2000-01-08 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* polish/polish.dtx : The definition of \datepolish contained an
	unwanted space which appeared in the output., Found by Ilya Beylin
	(ilya at cs.chalmers.se).

1999-12-18 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Introduced an extra
	level of expansion in the definition of an active caret

	* esperant/esperant.dtx : Moved the check for math mode in the
	definition of the ^ to babel.def in case some other language needs
	to have ^ as a shorthand character as well.

1999-12-16 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* catalan/catalan.dtx : Make sure that the shorthand characters
	are turned off outside of catalan. Found by Javier Bezos
	(jbezos at arrakis.es)
	This also holds for other language definitions: basque.dtx,
	breton.dtx, danish.dtx, finnish.dtx, galician.dtx, german.dtx,
	icelandic.dtx, ngerman.dtx, norsk.dtx, polish.dtx, portuges.dtx,
	serbian.dtx, slovene.dtx, swedish.dtx, usorbian.dtx.

1999-12-01 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Need to redefine
	\prim@s as well as \pr@m@s as plain TeX uses \next and LaTeX uses
	\@let@token. Found by Javier Bezos (jbezos at arrakis.es)

1999-11-29 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* catalan/catalan.dtx : Make sure the the `-character has catcode
	12 when the .aux file is being read in the second time. If it is
	active when \catcode``\active is read errors result. Found by
	Javier Bezos (jbezos at arrakis.es)

1999-11-22 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* basque/basque.dtx: fixed a few doc errors as suggested by
	Jean-Franois Mertens (jfm at core.ucl.ac.be)

	* norsk/norsk.dtx : Added the french double quotes, changed the
	definition of "f based on the german definition; enhanced
	documentation; all by Rune Kleveland (runekl at math.uio.no)

1999-09-30 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* esperant/esperant.dtx : Added a chack for math mode to the
	definition of the active ^.

1999-09-29 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* greek/greek.dtx : The greek language support now makes use of
	the language attribute feature. But in order not to break older
	documents some extra code is needed to make the option
	polutonikogreek work.

1999-09-16 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/bbplain.dtx (section{Support for formats based on
	\textsc{plain}\TeX}): Added the command \@ifundefined which is
	used in the definition of active charcters since Babel 3.6Z

1999-09-06 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): The change from 08/27
	was rubbish; now use \let instead of \edef
	
1999-08-27 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* cyrillic/{russianb,ukraineb}.dtx : Made not using the inputenc
	package a warning rather than an Error message after user
	requests.

1999-08-19 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): The proposed fix for
	PR3050 doesn't work; use \strip@prefix\meaning.

1999-08-18 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* frenchb/frenchb.dtx (subsection{Date and clean up}): No longer
	use \edef to define \today; the accent commands are not expandable
	and generate error messaages. (PR 3083, found by Thomas Esser
	(te at informatik.uni-hannover.de))

1999-06-22 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): When the shorthand
	character is already active make sure it gets expanded once
	instead of fully when \normal@char<char> is defined. This can be
	acheived by using \expandafter\noexpand (PR 3050, found by Joachim
	Becker (jbecker1 at gwdg.de))

1999-04-30 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Only realy initiate a
	shorthand once (suggested by Javier Bezos)

	* italian/italian.dtx : Claudio Beccari introduced the " as  a
	shorthand to insert the compound word mark (when the encoding is
	T1) and added support for ISO 31/XI regulations

1999-04-29 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* greek/greek.fdd (section{The encoding definition file}): Removed
	the refinition of \& from the encoding file as it doesn't belong
	there.

	* greek/greek.dtx : Now switch the definition of \& via
	\extrasgreek (removed from the font encoding file); the greek
	fonts do not contain an &-sign.

1999-04-22 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Multiple languages}): In some
	situations \lefthyphenmin remained equal to -1. This setting is
	now inside the group in which patterns are read. Also added the
	explicit setting of the hyphenmin paramters for language=0 as this
	didn't happen when the first pattern file changes \lefthyphenmin.
	For synonym languages the hyphenmin parameters were not set, this
	is now accomplished by storing the \languagename in \process@line
	Suggested by Vladimir Volovich (vvv at vvv.vsu.ru)

1999-04-21 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): It was
	reported by  Richard Walker (Richard.Walker at cs.anu.edu.au)
	(PR 3023) and "Igor A. Kotelnikov" (kotelnikov at nsu.ru) that babel
	brok the cite package This could be solved by *not* redefining
	\bibcite when the cite package is loaded.
	During testing it became clear that running the document the first
	time produced an error; solved by adding an \AtBeginDocument
	action. (babel 3.6v)

1999-04-20 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* base/bbcompat.dtx: Added code to issue a sensible error when the
	.sty files are loaded from LaTeXe; but made sure the document can
	be processed without complaints about \ProvidesLanguage not defined.
	(PR3020, Richard Walker (Richard.Walker at cs.anu.edu.au))
	Made sure the .sty and .ldf files can be used from plain TeX
	without hyphen.cfg preloaded.

	* base/babel.dtx (section{The Kernel of Babel}): When plain.def is
	loaded from switch.def we need to define \adddialect first in
	order to access the second part. (babel 3.6u)

1999-04-20 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Removed the braces again
	(PR3022) as the cure poses more problems than it solves. Will
	need to find a different solution for the active ^ in esperanto.

1999-04-18 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* turkish/turkish.dtx : Incorporated corrections received quite
	some time ago from "H. Turgut Uyar" (uyar at cs.itu.edu.tr)

1999-04-16 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* greek.dtx, babel.dtx : Moved redefinition of \@roman and \@Roman
	back the the greek language support because of the problems it
	causes with the AMS document classes. This problem needs to be
	solved in a different way; \@roman needs to be used in expansion
	only places.
	Reported by Jean-Francois Mertens (jfm at core.ucl.ac.be)(PR 3017)

1999-04-13 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): The
	redefinition of \bibcite didn't work for the natbib package; a
	redefinition that works for natbib doesn't work without it.
	Now bibcite defines itself during the processing of the .aux file
	which is done *before* the \AtBeginDocument commands are executed.
	Found by Niilo Siljamo (siljamo at sateenkaari.meteo.helsinki.fi)
	(PR 3011) (babel 3.6s)

1999-04-12 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Language options}): Re-instated the
	loading of babel.def right at the begining of babel.sty as it is
	needed to define \ProvidesLanguage. The need for postponing it has
	gone, because \bbl@redefine is no longer used as a warning
	mechanism against missing options (changed in 3.6p dd 9/4/99)
	Found by Werner Struckmann (struck at ips.cs.tu-bs.de) (PR 3006) and
	"Walter Schmidt" (wschmi at ibm.net) (PR 3014) babel 3.6r

1999-04-12 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Encodig issues (part 1)}): The parsing of
	\@filelist to determine the latinencoding turend out to fail when a
	file with (default) extension .tex has been loaded. Now use
	\@ifl@aded, assuming all encoding .def files have a ProvidesFile
	entry. Found by "Igor A. Kotelnikov" (kotelnikov at nsu.ru),
	suggesion by Vladimir Volovich (vvv at vvv.vsu.ru) babel 3.6q

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Language options}): Added the options
	ngerman and naustrian to support the new german orthography, as
	supplied by "Walter Schmidt" (wschmi at ibm.net)

1999-04-09 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{marks}): The solution for PR2990 wasn't
	perfect; the arguments to the \mark... commands need to be stored
	in a token register prior to using \edef.
	(subsection{Language options}): Now check for the existence of
	\bbl@main@language instead of redefining \bbl@redefine to detect
	missing options.
	
1999-04-09 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* bahasa.dtx : February should be Pebruari according to
	Mohammad DAMT (mdamt at cakraweb.com)

	* babel.dtx : Changed the argument handlling of \process@line in
	order to prevent a trailing space from becoming part of a control
	sequence when defining a synonym
	(from a line such as `=english %')
	Found by Thomas Esser (te at informatik.uni-hannover.de), (PR 2851)

1999-04-08 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{marks}): Removed th use of \head@lang in
	passing the current language into the marks. This didn't work for
	amsart.cls. Found a new solution wich works for the stansdard
	document classes as well as for amsart.
	Reported by Vittorio Coti Zelati (zelati at cds.unina.it) (PR 2990)

1999-04-07 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Encodig issues}): Needed to move the
	\AtBeginDocument test for the loading of fontenc right up front of
	babel.sty; also added a test for `manual' selection of T1 without
	loading fontenc (via \renewcommand\encodingdefault{T1}) as
	suggested by Claudio Beccari (Beccari at polito.it)

1999-04-05 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx : Had to implement a diferent way to check for fontenc
	with T1 encoding; now pare \@filelst (PR 3002)

1999-04-05 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Multiple languages}): Need to set
	default values for lefthyphenmin and righthyphenmin globally now
	that the patterns are read in a group.

	* catalan.dtx, danish.dtx, dutch.dtx, estonian.dtx, finnish.dtx,
	galician.dtx, polish.dtx, portuges.dtx, spanish.dtx, germanb.dtx,
	swedish.dtx usorbian.dtx : changed the definition of "- as

	Replaced \CYRUKRI with \CYRII in \authorname, typo, found by 
	Andrij Shvaika (ashv at icmp.lviv.ua)

	* babel.dtx (section{The Package File}): Don't load babel.def from
	babel.sty, but rather define \LdfInit temporarily in order to load
	babel.def at the right time, preventing problems with the
	temporary definition of \bbl at redefine; found by 
	Walter Schmidt (wschmi at ibm.net), PR 2987 and 
	Andreas Schwab (schwab at issan.cs.uni-dortmund.de), PR 2998

1999-03-12 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	language attributes.

	* bbplain.dtx : Added defintion of \in@, needed for language
	attributes.

1998-06-27 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (section{The Package File}): Added a definition of
	\bbl@redefine before the call to \ProcessOptions. The idea is to
	generate a sensible error message when the user forgets to
	specifiy a language option.

1998-06-25 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* norsk.dtx : Added the suggestions from Rune Kleveland
	(runekl at math.uio.no) for the " shorthand.

	(oberdiek at ruf.uni-freiburg.de) Heiko Oberdiek)

1998-06-08 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* install.txt: Changed installation instructions, *not* 
	advising them to rename hyphen.tex, but to use bplain.tex as a
	replacement for plain.tex.
	
	* bbplain.dtx: Added the source for the format replacement wrapper
	files bplain.tex and blplain.tex. This is the result of a
	discussion with a number of people about the permissabillity of
	renaming hyphen.tex. Don Knuth doesn't allow it.

	* germanb.dtx, polish.dtx, usorbian.dtx: changed the definition of
	\mdqon and \mdqoff to use the new commands \shorthandon and
	\shorthandoff.

	\shorthandon and \shorthandoff as a more general solution to
	PR2627.

	* all language definition files: use \def to define \today, in
	order to prevent expansions at the wrong time.

1998-03-27 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): Changed the
	redefenition of \bibcite to include \@safe@activesfalse in the

	of \TeX and \LaTeX to make them encoding independant.

1998-03-11 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	it is a known encoding, otherwise use OT1 as latin encoding.

1997-12-19 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): Call
	\@safe@activestrue instead of \set@display@protect which casued
	errors.

1997-09-15 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Added a check for \write
	still being primitive. If not it might have been redefined as
	\immediate\write and in such a case \protected@write needs to set
	\protect to \noexpand instead of making it \@unexpandable@protect
	in order to prevent a \protet kreeping in the .aux file. This
	problem cropped op with the use of seminar.cls and was found by
	Daniel FLIPO (flipo at univ-lille1.fr) 

1997-09-11 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	ones, provided by Kresimir Fresl (fresl at grad.hr)

1997-04-29 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* greek.dtx : Selecting the greek language produced unwanted
	whitespace because of lines such as \babel@save`\".
	Found a few typos in the process.

1997-04-25 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands for quotation marks}): The
	definitions of \grq and \grqq should be dependent on the
	fontencoding. Taken the code from german.sty (and adapted it to
	babel). Found by: Stefan Illy (illy at itpgyro1.fzk.de) and
	Bjoern Lorenz (lorenz at rz.charite.hu-berlin.de)

1997-04-20 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* greek.dtx : made \greek@alph a synonym for \greeknumeral instead
	of having it's own definition.

1997-04-16 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx: Make multiple loading of babel.def impossible by
	adding a check for the existence of \bbl@afterfi. This was
	triggered by PR 2447 where french.sty loaded babel.def for a
	second time.

1997-04-03 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* dutch.dtx (and others): remove empty groups after quote
	characters in the shorthand definitions (such as \quotedblbase) in
	order to keep possible kerning. 
	(PR 2454, found by S\o ren Sandmann (sandmann at daimi.aau.dk))

1997-04-01 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* dutch.dtx : The definition of "~ was faulty, (forgot to replace
	`german' with `dutch'.
	Found by Maarten Gelderman (mgelderman at econ.vu.nl)

1997-03-21 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (section{The Package File}): The option
	KeepShorthandsActive no longer defines a control sequence. This
	didn't always work because of the order in which options are
	processed. The presence of the option is now tested in babel.def
	with \@ifpackagewith. (PR 2452)

1997-03-18 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (section{Identification}): Added the macro
	\ProvidesLanguage to identify language definition files instead of
	using \ProvidesFile. This is done to prevent problems with the
	dummy definition of \ProvidesFile for plain based formats. Some
	other packages are confused by it. Now make sure that
	\ProvidesFile remains undefined in plain based packages. (PR 2444)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Made \bbl@afterelse and
	\bbl@afterfi \long in order to be able to handle \par

	* greek.dtx : Added command \greek@tilde to stand for the tilde

	(found by Richard Walker (Richard.Walker at cs.anu.edu.au) PR 2382
	Ulrik Vieth (vieth at thphy.uni-duesseldorf.de) PR 2385 and
	Vincent Jalby (jalby at unilim.fr))

	* babel.ins: Added missing \usepreamble\mainpreamble line; changed
	1996 in 1997.

	* finnish.dtx: Forgot to remove the code that is now part of
	\LdfInit; hence babel.def was loaded twice which led to TeX fatal
	errors.
	(found by Niilo Siljamo (Niilo.Siljamo at Helsinki.FI) PR 2386)

1997-01-19 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	suggested on TEX-NL at nic.surfnet.nl

	* bbplain.dtx : missing \@undefined added to definition of
	\@begindocumenthook; \newcount is an \outer macro, so it can't be
	used directly inside an \if test.
	(found by Daniel Flippo)
	 

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): Added
	\bbl@redefine@long to be able to redefine \ifthenelse as a

1997-01-08 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	vertical mode.
	(found by Eric Gamess (eric at borabora.univalle.edu.co), PR 2363)

	* babel.dtx (section{The Package File}): Added the options

	substitutions kdgr hadn't been replaced with cmr.
	(found by J"org Knappen, PR2358)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Multiple languages}): Introduced
	\foreign@language for the shared code between the otherlanguage*
	environment and the \foreignlanguage command.
	Switch off language shorthands before activating the extras (to
	prevent that the shorthands from one language are still available
	in the other.
	Add \relax after the setting of the hyphenmin parameters to
	prevent the disappearance of a token (when it happens to be a
	digit, such as \number\day).
	(found by Daniel Hempel (daniel at math.uni-hamburg.de) PR2362)

	* spanish.dtx : Removed two unwanted space tokens by adding a
	%-token at the end of the lines with babel@save in the definition
	of \extrasspanish. They turned up in the output.

	* bbplain.dtx (section{Support for formats based on
	\textsc{plain}\TeX}): add definition of \@begindocumenthook to the

1997-01-05 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (section{The Package File}): When \LdfInit is
	undefined we need to load babel.def from babel.sty.
        When \file{hyphen.cfg} is not loaded in the format \cs{l@english}
        might not be defined; assume english is language 0 before calling
        \main@language{english}.
	(found by J"org Knappen (tex at mzdmza.zdv.uni-mainz.de) PR2354)

1997-01-02 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* bbplain.dtx : The redefinition of \dump tried to detect
	LaTeX2.09; it did that with \document; that cs is also defined by
	AMSTeX, hence an error occured building a Babel-AMSTeX format.
	Now use \@ztryfc to detect LaTeX2.09 (Hope that is obscure
	enough). (Found by Thomas Esser)

1996-12-30 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Support for extending macros}): Added a
	check for an expansion of \relax to the definition of \addto;
	\addto\x{...} yields \x -> {\x ...} when \x expands to \relax.
	This results in a stack overflow when \x is called.

1996-12-29 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	`welsh'.

1996-11-07 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Multiple languages}): \selectlanguage now
	checks for the existence of \date<lang> instead of \l@<lang>. The
	latter might be defined, without the language definition file
	being loaded. 

1996-10-29 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Multiple languages}): Renamed \init@ldf
	and \finish@ldf to \LdfInit, \ldf@finish and introduce
	\quit@ldf. The second argument of \ldf@init can now be either a
	control sequence or a string to be passed to \csname.
	(subsection{Cross referencing macros}): Added (conditional)
	redefinition of \@@vpageref (varioref internal macro) to prevent

	.ldf-files.

1996-10-16 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	also sets \languagename and \l@<languagename> for use by other
	packages in the preamble of a document 
	(suggested by Jan Vroonhof (vroonhof at math.ethz.ch))

1996-10-08 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* bbplain.dtx : Make this file be processed twice, once during
	format generation, but only a small portion of the file is loaded
	into the format, the second time the file is processed is when it
	is loaded from babel.def. This way some code that is not needed in
	the format gets removed and the plain format with babel is no
	longer incompatible with german.sty.

1996-10-04 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* dutch.dtx: Merged in the definitions for `afrikaans' as supplied
	by Stoffel Lombard (lombc at b31pc87.up.ac.za)

	* bbcompat.dtx: Added support for `afrikaans'

	* babel.dtx (section{The Package File}): Added option `afrikaans'

	* slovene.dtx : removed shorthand for \texttt{"L} as it is not
	needed for slovenian according to Primoz Peterlin
	(peterlin at biofiz.mf.uni-lj.si).

1996-09-20 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* catalan.dtx : Added a check for mathmode to the definitino of
	\lgem and \Lgem, as the use of these in mathmode makes no sense
	according to Goncal Badenes. Not having the check led to an error
	message (PR 2261)

1996-08-18 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* polish.dtx : The macros \sob, \spb and \skb need to call
	\leavevmode; when they are encountered in vertical mode TeX issues
	an error about \lower not being allowed in vertical mode. (found
	by Wlodzimierz Macewicz (macewicz at ia.pw.edu.pl))

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): In order to
	prevent problems while reading .fd files in the middle of a
	document we need to add the " and ' characters to \nfss@catcodes
	untill LaTeX does that herself. (found by Tomas	Bautista
	(bautista at cma.ulpgc.es)) 

1996-08-15 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* bbplain.dtx : Added default (semi-NFSS2) definition of \ss and
	\i because german.sty in combination with a babel format creates
	an endless lopp on those glyphs. (Found by Bernd Raichle)

	* danish.dtx : According to Peter Busk Laursen the shorthand "'
	needs to typeset the german closing double quote (``). He also
	suggested to add the definitions for "~ and "=

1996-08-13 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Top level expansion of
	\normal@char<char> where the shorthand character is already active
	should be the expansion of the active character, not the active
	character itself as this causes an endless loop (found by Tomas
	Bautista (bautista at cma.ulpgc.es))

1996-08-11 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): Redefinition
	of \ifthenelse added to circumvent problems with \pageref in the

	Added definition of \@empty; use it instead of \empty

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Multiple languages}): Removed the use of
	the control sequence \bbl@eq@ (PR 2213)
	(section{Identification}): Save a few csnames by using \bbl@tempa
	instead of \@ProvidesFile store the \everyjob message immediately
	in \toks8 (PR 2213)
	Consistently use \@undefined instead of \undefined (PR 2213)
	Use \@empty instead of \empty to be consistent with \LaTeX
	(PR 2133) 

	* bahasa.dtx : Added translation of `Proof' as suggested by
	knappen at vkpmzd.kph.uni-mainz.de (J"org Knappen) (PR 2214)

	* germanb.dtx : added \allowhyphens in the definitions of "a, "o,
	"u, "A, "O, "U, because the underlying macro \lower@umlaut can not
	cntain a \allowhyphens. The reason is that for *dutch* we need to
	use discretionaries for these same characters in order to make the
	trema disappear at a word break. A \allowhyphens inside one of the
	arguments of \discretiionary leads to a TeX error.

1996-05-29 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Multiple languages}): Added an environment
	otherlanguage* wich does not switch the captions and date strings,
	only hyphenation and extras.

1996-04-18 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* magyar.dtx : Added translation of `Proof' as suggested by
	Alexin Zoltan (alexin at sol.cc.u-szeged.hu) and changed some of the

1996-04-09 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	\dj@ and \DJ@ with the ones found in PR 2058 (contributed by
 	Sime Ungar (ungar at math.hr) and David Carlisle)

1996-03-06 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Shorthands}): Added a system level
	shorthand for the ` to prevent an endless loop when the user
	enters `{}blah in his document.

	* catalan.dtx : Added `` as a shorthand for the double left quote;
	getting a single quote and an accented letter from the input ``a
	is not quit what would be expected.

1996-02-12 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Macros common to a number of languages}):
	Moved \german@dq@disc, \usorbian@dq@disc and \swedish@dq@disc to
	babel.def, changing the name to \bbl@disc

1996-01-21 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): Revert the
	previous change; \@setref gets expanded too late which results in
	TeX errors because the active character isn't redefined when TeX
	tries to use it in constructing a csname.

1996-01-19 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	* babel.dtx (subsection{Cross referencing macros}): Redefine
	\@setref instead of \ref and \pageref for LaTeX2e. This (partly)
	solves PR0947 which complains about pageref being used in the
	argument of \ifthenelse. This now works as long as the label
	doesn't contain active characters.

1996-01-18 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	that `snatched' \dump as it is no longer needed for LaTeX.

1995-11-06 Johannes Braams  (babel at latex-project.org)

	in OT1 encoding. Having it means that TeX possibly misses a
	possible breakpoint. Putting \allowhyphens into the definition of
	\lower@umlaut (which would make it not appear at all in T1
	encoding) is a no-no because it leads to improper discretionary
	errors for dutch (were trema's have to disappear when the word is
	hyphenated next to the trema). (PRs 1118, 1147, 1714, 1846)
