2020-12-22  Frank Mittelbach  <Frank.Mittelbach at latex-project.org>

        * ltfssaxes.dtx (subsection{Changing to a new series}):
        Distangle series and shape update by delaying the font series
        and font shape merging (gh/444)

        Move the rollback info for \normalshape after its main definition
        otherwise it will not be undone (gh/458)

2020-12-22  Frank Mittelbach  <Frank.Mittelbach at latex-project.org>

        * ltfsstrc.dtx (subsection{General font loading}):
        Alter \selectfont to do the delayed merging of  font series
        and font shape (gh/444)

2020-12-27  Frank Mittelbach  <Frank.Mittelbach at latex-project.org>

        * letter.dtx (subsubsection{Page breaking control}):
        The \opening argument was splitting name and address using \\

        * ltbibl.dtx (section{Bibliography Generation}):

        * miscelaneous files: gh/428, gh/429 and gh/430 list a number of

2020-12-04  Frank Mittelbach  <Frank.Mittelbach at latex-project.org>
