=======================================================================
     ANNOUNCING the Xy-pic version 3.2 DIAGRAM TYPESETTING PACKAGE
=======================================================================

This is to announce a RELEASE of the DIAGRAM TYPESETTING PACKAGE:

			       Xy-pic 3.2

This is a maintenance release where a few more bugs of the previous
major release of Xy-pic 3 (from July) have been eliminated.

Xy-pic is a package for typesetting a variety of graphs and diagrams
with TeX.  Xy-pic works with most formats (including LaTeX, AMS-LaTeX,
AMS-TeX, and plain TeX), in particular Xy-pic is provided as a LaTeX2e
`supported package' (following the `CTAN LaTeX2e bundle' standard).

Further details on the package are in the README file of the
distribution.

				  NEWS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Xy-pic version 3 is a thorough rewrite of the prior major version,
version 2 (last version 2 release was release 2.6; several beta-test
releases of version 3, numbered 2.7-2.12, were made available to users).
However, full backwards compatibility is maintained (except for the
unavoidable but fully documented obscure cases).

Release 3.2 fixes the following relative to release 3.1:

* Arrow labels now typeset using the correct style in all cases.

* Circles in old-style diagrams now work again...

* PostScript pattern support now compatible with GhostScript.

as well as several minor fixes in code & documentation (all described in
the ChangeLog file in the source distribution).

Thanks to Jürgen Koslowski, Young U. Ryu, Fred T. Krogh, Clemens
Beckstein, and Ralf Gaertner, for your bug reports!
