You will find here a very compressed list of the major changes of the

News:
ⁿ You can use four layers now for structuring your text.
ⁿ Justification
ⁿ Macros and definitions can contain parameters. Thus, you can
write your own commands in most cases.
ⁿ blist environment, ilist environment and tlist environment
ⁿ right justified text (flushright environment)
ⁿ left justfied text (flushleft environment) for suppressing
the justification
ⁿ You can use up to four E-Mail addresses on the title page
now.
ⁿ UDO supports Italian (!language italian), Spanisch
(!language spanish) and Swedish (!language swedish) now.
ⁿ UDO can sort the hyphen file and delete duplicates.
ⁿ !no_umlaute converts now all international characters, not
only the German umlauts.
ⁿ The source code was optimized. Although UDO supports lots of
new commands this version of UDO runs faster than the old
one.
Changes:
ⁿ The RTF output was programmed completely new. You can import
UDO's RTF files without problems in WinWord.
ⁿ UDO saves a preamble for LaTeX 2.09 and LaTeX2e on its own
(you can switch it off, if you want).
ⁿ UDO allows you to use many more nodes, table rows, hyphens
etc.
ⁿ UDO checks the source files more pedantically.
ⁿ Images are positioned like the outer text. To center an
image you have to use the !image command inside a center
environment. Thus, you can print left and right justified
images, too.
ⁿ The suffix for ASCII files is now .txt.
ⁿ UDO doesn't break line between \verb when converting to
LaTeX.
ⁿ Graphic characters of the IBM PC character set will be
replaced by `+', `-' and `|' for Windows Help.
Syntax changes:
ⁿ !no_verbatim_umlaute replaces the switch
!verbatim_no_umlaute
ⁿ The switch !list_parsep doesn't exist anymore. You can print
"compressed" environment easier with !short now.
ⁿ The language of the destination file has to be set with the
!language command now. !language english replaces the
command !endlish.
ⁿ You can pass three index entries with one !index command
now.
ⁿ !win_html_look doesn't exist anymore.
ⁿ Shdowed, hollow, outlined and framed text isn't supported
anymore. But you can define your own commands with
definitions if you need these text styles.
