[Aimmath-developers] problems with tth v3.40

[Ken M. <mo...@pt...>]

I upgraded from tth version 3.30 to 3.40 today and noticed that some things
that used to format nicely no longer do so.  For example, see the attached
jpg images of the same expression formatted with version 3.30 and 3.40.
Both were compiled using no command line switches to tth and rendered in IE
6.0 under windows.  The newer version doesn't put any space aound the '+'
signs so they start to blend in with the fraction bars. I also noticed this
cramped horizontal spacing in eqnarray* environments with the new version.
In some AiM questions this problem makes the expressions almost impossible
to read.

My questions are:
1. Does anyone know why this is, i.e. is it bug or is it by design?
2. Should we distribute version 3.30 instead of 3.40 with the AIM
distribution? (Currently we have version 3.40 in the distribution).

Thoughts?
