Version 3.26 of Lout now available

[Jeff Kingston]

Version 3.26 of Lout is now available.  If you are currently happy
with what Lout is giving you, don't bother getting this version.
I am currently working continuously on Lout with the aim of
releasing a stable version in the next few weeks that fixes
all known problems.  I'm releasing this version now because
one user is hanging out for a fix to the problems with merged
index entries, and this version has that fix (I hope).

I resigned from my day job several weeks ago to allow me to
work full time on Nonpareil, which will be the successor to
Lout.  However, I will continue to maintain Lout indefinitely.
Users of the mailing list will probably notice that I read
it less promptly now (about twice a week), but hopefully that
will be compensated for by more timely fixes than I have
been able to supply over the last few years.  My email
address will continue to be address@hidden as usual.
