Karl Berry submitted an update to the

                eplain

package.

Version:  3.9
License:  gpl2

Summary description:  Extended plain TeX macros

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 Eplain version 3.9 is available from CTAN via https://ctan.org/pkg/eplain
 and directly from https://tug.org/eplain.  It's also included in TeX
 distributions.

 This minor release fixes a btxmac.tex bug introduced in 3.8 which caused
 \providecommand to fail. Also, the documentation now has a section
 on creating PDF bookmarks (a.k.a. outlines), and url and other updates.

 General: the Eplain macro package extends and expands on the definitions
 in plain TeX. It's intended to provide useful definitions regardless of
 how a document might be formatted, such as cross-referencing by labels.

 Eplain was originally developed for the book TeX for the Impatient,
 published by Addison-Wesley in 1990. That book is now freely available,
 from https://ctan.org/pkg/impatient, along with several translations.
 (It's also in TeX distributions.)

 Please send bug reports to tex-eplain at tug.org
 (mailing list web interface: https://lists.tug.org/tex-eplain).

 Happy expanded TeXing,
 Karl
