Changed (2022/02/20)

o memoir v3.7q

-- Added memhfixc autoloading to memoir (via \AtEndPackage{hyperref}...), then the equivalent code can be removed from hyperref
-- now auto loads the etoolbox package in order to enable a future patching approach instead of overwriting kernel macros (nb: re-coding has not started yet)
-- changed definition of \medspace into \providecommand for better testing with older kernels
-- added some code to a hook provided by footmisc fixing a bug with the combination of memoir+footmisc+reledmac, especially the 2022 update of footmisc
-- fixed typo in manual regarding \setupmaintoc, see https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/602963/3929 for details.
-- The LaTeX team changed the order of the file/package hook names into a more precise scheme. \AtBegin/EndFile, \AtBegin/EndPackage, \AtBegin/EndClass changed accordingly


A note to class maintainers that use memoir as a base, and package 
maintainers that apply changes when memoir is loaded:

In future updates memoir will start to use a more patch/hook based 
approach to working with kernel macros instead of overwriting. This will 
give the kernel developers more room for the big changes that are coming 
to the kernel. We are not going to change any official memoir API macros, 
but internals may change.

Given that the LaTeX kernel now have most parts of xparse build it, we 
might even start using some of those tools (who knows).
