 ## MINOR CHANGES
 
+- Adapt all templates to new Pandoc 3.8.2.1 change regarding table counter definition (#595).
+
 - Patch `WileyNDJ` template used in `sim_article()` to fix an issue with `etex` package not being useful anymore in recent LaTeX distributions (#593).
 
 - Update all templates to work with Pandoc 3.2.1 by adding the definition of new `\pandocbounded` command used by Pandoc's LaTeX writers (see more at https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/releases/tag/3.2.1 and https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/issues/9660) (#571, #576).
