This is the newest release of the LaTeX macro for TeX. It stands for Lamport TeX 2e ! Unfortunatly LaTeX broke backwards compatability with TeX, a crime for which some old TeXhAcKs have not yet forgiven Leslie Lamport.

Well thats a war for someone else. LaTeX2e supports the documentclass format and depreciates the documentstyle. This allows for easy integration of LaTeX macro package using the command

\usepackage{...}
