Back then it was meant to be an intermediate version (hence the ‘) on the way to a major new version (the mythical L A TEX3) that we expected to take a couple of more years to reach maturity. It took much more than that in the end—nominally, L A TEX2Á is still with us today. However, under the hood, L A TEX2Á changed a lot throughout these thirty years, as one can see, for example, when looking through the forty newsletters [2] that accompanied the L A TEX releases that happened in the meantime. During the first two decades, the L A TEX kernel was kept largely stable with only minimal bug fix activities. During that period additional functionality was mostly provided through new or extended packages that could be loaded in the document preamble. This included many of the ideas targeted for L A TEX3, e.g., expl3 (L A TEX3 programming language), xparse (new document command interface), xtemplate (a configuration mechanism), and many others. Initially, this approach worked well and provided good backward compatibility; however, over time it became apparent that keeping all developments confined to packages was more and more problematical. Features or bug fixes that should have been generally available, i.e., part of the kernel, were only available in packages, so a lot of dependencies between packages were introduced and resulted in convoluted code that was di cult to manage. For example, hyperref had to rewrite a lot of 3 / 19
