File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 3.6b

Notes:
This update is mostly a bug-fix release, which eliminates a number of bugs with 
IE and other display and font issues, adds an eqnarray* environment, and add a 
macros field to the easy/load.js file so that custom macros can be made 
automatically without the need of loading any additional files.

Changes:
* Fixed an error in the Unicode fallback tables for the PC (the "floor"
  and "ceil" characters were reversed).

* Fixed a problem with MSIE where a relative URL used to obtain jsMath
  from a server that requires a port number was not handled properly by
  jsMath.

* Fixed a bug in which alignments could be clipped on the right in MSIE
  under certain font-scaling conditions.

* Added an eqnarray* environment for consistency with other starred
  environments, and made the eqn-number extension honor the star.

* Updated the bbox extension to avoid a problem with box widths not being
  properly computed when \bbox commands are nested.  Also the old version
  was inefficient about typesetting the contents of the box (it was
  performed twice, so nested boxes caused the processing to go up
  exponentially).  Finally, boxed elements now have superscripts and
  subscripts applied to the box, rather than the contents of the box.

* Fixed a problem with how jsMath measures the heights of characters (by
  removing an old hack that no longer appears to be necessary).  This
  improves spacing in \overline and other situations that are
  height-sensitive.

* Fixed a bug introduced in v3.6a (by a typo) that would prevent processing
  of mathematics within an \hbox.

* In v3.6, the method for handling the position:fixed bug in MSIE caused
  type-in areas in forms to be difficult to select (due to another bug in
  MSIE), so the solution had to be scaled back a bit.  It now allows you to
  override the horizontal position of the jsMath button and message box,
  but you can't position it relative to the top of the window in MSIE.
  Repositioning works fine in all other browsers.  I'll keep working to see
  if I can get around this.

* Properly detect the Google Chrome browser.

* Fixed \angle to not use unicode but rather construct it from the fonts
  similar to how TeX does.

* Fixed bug where \char did not properly respect the current style (e.g.,
  in scripts)

* Added a new macros field to the easy/load.js file that lets you define
  custom macros automatically.  (This is easier than having to make your
  own local.js file.)

* Fixed a bug with \operatorname in the AMSmath package that incorrectly
  handled the unstarred version of the operator in displayed math mode.
