I had to make more small doc changes today, since the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
stuff applies to all engines except luatex (next year) and original tex
(intentionally disabled). I remade the pdf and html again.
As usual, comparing against archive/live-2015.tex is the most reliable
way to see all changes since last year, but here are the specific tweaks
I just committed (Siep's are still there too, of course).
I sincerely hope this will be the end of the doc changes for this year;
at least, I have nothing more pending. So please do go ahead and update
the translations asap. Thanks. -k
