    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    A breaking change refers to a change capable of altering older
    documents if compiled with the current version of the class.

    - Breaking change. The locators `\listacronymname`, `\listabbreviationname`,
    and `\listsymbolname` are no longer defined in Portuguese but are
    initially defined in English (without the presence of babel.sty).
    This only represents a breaking change in documents that do not load
    babel, but this is very unlikely;

    - `\normalsize` is now initialized in `\DeclareOption{10pt}` and
    `\DeclareOption{11pt}` from now on.

    - New command `\abntextonote` for inserting notes into tables:
    `\long\def\note#1{\abntextonote{#1}}` or `\long\def\nt#1{\abntextonote{#1}}`.
    New commands `\savedabntextonote`, `\abntextonotelabel`, `\printnotebox`;

    - New command `\setplacepos`;

    - Added `\gresetORIlabel` to the definition of `subplace`;

    - The definition of `\alternativesublegend` has been simplified;

    - New command `\subnote`;

    - New commands \abntextodecimalcomma, \abntextohyperrefpatch,
    \abntextodisabledecimalcomma, \abntextodisablehyperrefpatch
    and \disableautotextual;

    - New command `\useeletroniclayout`;

    - Addition to the manual on how the end user can define
    `\nextoddphysicalpage` to ensure that sections start on
    the front of the sheets;

    - Addition to the manual on how the end user can redefine `\bibsetup`
    to ensure that References are formatted according to NBR~6023:2018;

    - Addition to the manual regarding the situation where a floating
    object and a non-floating object are together on the same page
    with out-of-order numbering. The solution is to avoid floating
    and non-floating objects on the same page;

    - Addition to the manual regarding the fact that the latest version
    is always available on Github (the version on CTAN is not necessarily
    the most recent);

    - Addition to the manual: a new subsection on the typographical
    treatment of quaternary and quinary sections;

    - In abntexto-exemplo.tex, the abstract in a foreign language must
    be enclosed in `\selectlanguage`;

    - In abntexto-exemplo.tex, the cataloging record page cannot have
    the `\onesidelayout` layout because such a page must be on the
    back of the title page, therefore `\twosidelayout` was added.
    In addition, the pre-textual elements were presented on the
    front side, as recommended by NBR 14724:2024;

    - The manual stated that "both `\singlesp\onehalfsp` and `\onehalfsp\singlesp`
    produce the same effect", but this statement is incorrect.
    The correct statement is "both `\abntsmall\onehalfsp` and
    `\onehalfsp\abntsmall` produce the same effect";

    - The `\sectionmark` in the example in the Headers and Footers
    section of the Source Code appendix correctly resets `\marks1`
    from now on;

    - The commands `\phantomsection`, `\Hy@writebookmark`, and
    `\NG@gettitle` were defined using `\providecomand`;

    - A note regarding the occasion when the warning `\tnba@warn@eqbox`
    (formerly `\tnba@obs@eqbox`) cannot be displayed when it should:
    during a change in the document's font;

    - The abntexto-uece class was cited in the manual as a help source
    for class writers;

    - Pages in direct quotations in the manual were marked;

    - An occurrence of NBR 10520 was replaced by NBR 14724 in the manual.
