            •  printing-packets.html
+     has dropped the erroneous "-i=w" form of --ingame, -i usage;
+     also, the packets script error for invalid usages now summarizes
+     the valid ones.
+
+
            •  The "packets" script advanced an error check to avoid a Perl warning
+     when packets.config specifies nonexistent printers.     
+
+
            •  The "packets" script's printer-status checking was changed to reflect
+     changes in printer behavior (from firmware upgrade, not lprng).
+     It now uses lpq-based information only and always gets a
+     judgement call from the user on printer conditions.
+
+
            •  The warranty was added.

            •  Fixed \frobbies (see top of 
+     Charsheets/template.tex)
+     to correctly propagate argument-taking macro defns from charsheets 
+     to tex-type extractables.
+
+
            •  Added "inlineheaders" option to sheets.sty, and used it by default in
+     LaTeX/Central/rules.tex.
+     See list-extractable.html about 
+     using it in bluesheets and so on.
+
+
            •  Single-sided cards now default to tight packing (i.e. no margins)
+     since front/back alignment of the printed page isn't an issue for them.
+     (Double- and mirror-sided still have nonzero default margins.)
+     See cards.html and
+     cards.sty comments.

+
            •  Dropped bin/gm's GM::dvips -P usage as being incompatible with -R 
+     (see under USER above), redundant with having GM::lpr, and not used 
+     by any Template scripts.
+
+
            •  The postscript graying in badges.sty is more like that done in color.sty
+     (but doesn't use that, to avoid unnecessary level-two postscript).
+
+
            •  Had extractable.sty defer \pagestyle invocation so as to have it
+     see the right (final) \textwidth.
+
+
            •  Fixed card.sty's dimension calculations to allow for the borders 
+     correctly, and made the built-up boxing structures cleaner and
+     more robust (constant nesting level).
