1.2e [2013/01/10]
This version should be the last one in the 1.2 series as it seems to
correct most of the main problems which were introduced with the massive
use of mathematically active characters in versions 1.2 and 1.2b.
* It is indeed a thorny point when one wants to modify only in math mode
how an active character acts, without breaking things. The package now
does that /only/ if the activation appears to originate in the Babel
system, as it is then possible to modify appropriately the Babel macros
\user@active<char> and \normal@char<char>. The relevant issues are
discussed in section 2.10 of the user manual, in the test file
testmathastextalphabets.tex, and in the source code comments to the
macro \mst@mathactivate. The inherent incompatibility of Babel with
packages having made mathematically active the characters itself makes
document active is circumvented by this interference of mathastext. A
generally applicable Babel patch could be derived from the method used
by mathastext.
* The technique of mathematical activation is maintained only for the
characters which are not catcode active (at the entrance in math mode,
as mathastext does all its activation job at everymath and everydisplay).
* Sadly, the feature of added italic corrections introduced in version
1.2b did not behave as described in the user manual, due to forgotten
group braces. Fixed.
* The command \MTlowerast from the user manual of v1.2d was not the one
implemented in the source code. Fixed.
* The test files automatically extracted from a latex run on the dtx file
have been revised and extended.
* The code is better documented.
