In priciple, CVS makes it possible to list the differences between
different versions of the documentation: both the files which have
changed and the diffs on each file. I don't remember all commands,
so you would have to check the documentation of CVS. When you know
how to do it, you may want to write a short documentation page
for all others with the same problem.

Of course, I should also notify about the changes I made.
I mainly:

  1) Added a lot of documentation in doc/devel/style.

  2) Added and modified David's documentation on the TeXmacs primitives
     in doc/devel/format (I do not recommend to translate it yet,
     because it is still under development).

  3) Reorganized and modified some of the documentation in
     doc/main/styles. In particular, the contents of the directory
     doc/main/styles/std-dtds have been spread out over several
     other subdirectories of doc/main/styles.

Best wishes, Joris
