Congratulations and thanks!

The code and manuals build fine here, and I didn't notice any regression
so far.

It'd be nice if you could post the SHA1 hash or (even better) a digital
signature, especially since Lout is mirrored elsewhere.

A few notes:

I assume you are referring to:

  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.type-setting.lout/1241

If so, the problem illustrated by that example is still here.

The only change I can see in `z08.c', other than `MAX_DEPTH', is this:

@@ -2164,6 +2164,7 @@
     case LINK_DEST:
     case LINK_URL:
 
+      /* save_mark(x) = 0; */
       Child(y, LastDown(x));
       y = Manifest(y, env, style, nbt, nft, target, crs, ok,FALSE,enclose,fcr);
       StyleCopy(save_style(x), *style);

... which obviously doesn't fix the problem at hand.  :-)

BTW, it would really help if Lout were in a public version control
system so that one can pinpoint the changes corresponding to one of the
news entries.  It would also help identify problems, should regression
show up.

It ought to be used in the manual itself!  ;-)

Thanks,
