Changes (2024/01/26)

o memoir v3.8.2

-- In v3.8 I forgot to add some internal testing code related to
   \@startsection. The code experiment has now been added, but is not
   enabled by default.

-- Axel Sommerfeldt suggested a useful macro abstraction for
   sidecaption and sidecontcaption that simplifies his adjustments
   whenever the caption package is loaded.

-- Fixed a small (but important) typo in my maintainers note (Peter started
   memoir in 2001, not 2021)

-- The Nov-2023 kernel update gave issued with our version of \verb.
   Now fixed by un-embedding the verbatim package. Issue first
   reported by Andrew Swann.

-- Fixed a typo in \m at make@footnotetext where ##1 got interpreted as a
   macro name, not contents. Reported by Richard Zach.

-- Replaced the embedded copy of the shortvrb package by loading the
   package instead.

-- Replaced the embedded and modified copy of the verbatim package by
   just loading the package.

   Have chosen to *not* patch in the modification back in. Primarily
   because they are (1) disabled by default, (2) unknown how many
   users actually use them, (3) the implementation had errors.

   \setverbatimfont and the system to make comment-like envs of course
   stayed.

   The features removed are

   - marking tabs using several spaces
   - wrapping webatim text at white space

   Macros disabled

   - \tabson  (\tabsoff redef to do nothing)
   - \wrappingon (\wrappingoff redef to do nothing)

   No longer used

   - \verbatimbreakchar
   - \verbatimindent

   Removing the embedded verbatim copy also fixes the issue with
   \verb+a b+ behaving like \verb*+a b+.

   Many of the other verbatim-like creations have had tabs support
   removed

-- In verbatim 1.5x the macro \verbatiminput* has been altered
   slightly such that it also marks tabs as spaces (just like \verb*
   now also does via a kernel update). If 1.5x has not been released
   yet, we automatically apply that patch.

-- Updated \readverbatim* with the same patch as \verbatiminput* so it
   also marks tabs as spaces.



o memhfixc v1.22

-- The change Axel S. suggested in memoir removes the need for
   memhfixc to redefine \endsidecaption and \endsidecaption, thus
   those redefinitions have been removed.
