This version aims at compatibility with the new LaTeX templates which are currently triggered by a \DocumentMetadata{...} command. LaTeX Format 2026-06-01 is required for documents starting with a \DocumentMetadata{...} command. Documents without a \DocumentMetadata{...} are not affected, no change should be noticable for them. Breaking change: options acadian, canadien, francais and frenchb have finally been deleted as announced since 2018.
