Great, thanks a lot Hans. Not a big issue (some glues are bit more stretched than before here and there, but not to the point to have underfulls), but curious to understand.

Best regards

When messing with disc nodes one can argue if some of then need to

become discretionary nodes or keep their other type. This change keeps

it more original (of course one can  argue about it) which has some

consequence for the number of passes that tex makes (pass without

hyphenation, pass with hyphenation, pass with hyphenation and stretch)

 

i plan to makes things a bit more configureable in the alternative

hyphenator

 

one can also argue that the first pass can be omitted (i.e. always go

for the best solution)
