Javier Bezos submitted an update to the
babel-beta
package.
Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is the second beta release of babel 3.9. The main aims of
this version are to fix bugs (there were lots) and to add basic
support for xetex and luatex.
Here is a list of most of the new and extended macros:
-- usershorthands* is like useshorthands but it makes sure
shorthands are always activated.
-- defineshorthands can be used to (re)define system and
language shorthands, and a new level for language-dependent
user shorthands is added, which takes precedence over normal
user shorthands.
-- shorthandoff* restores the original catcode or definition
(useful with ~ and ^).
-- AfterBabelLanguage sets code to be executed at the end
of the corresponding ldf file.
-- abelhyphen inserts a hyphen (soft, hard, nobreak...).
-- abelhyphenation is like hyphenation but for all
languages or specific ones (lccode changes are taken
into account).
-- AddBabelHook sets code to be executed at some events
(EnableBabelHook and DisableBabelHook control them).
-- StartBabelCommands, SetString, and a few more, may be
used to define encoding dependent captions (eg, utf8 for
xetex and luatex)
New package options:
-- shorthands sets which language/system shorthands are
allowed.
-- safe sets if bib and/or ref macros are redefined.
-- config sets a different config file.
-- main sets the main language.
-- headfoot sets the language in heads and foots.
-- noconfigs: .cfg files are not loaded.
-- showlanguages prints to the log file the languages
preloaded
-- math sets the behaviour of shorthands in math mode
in the format.
I hope the final version will be available by March/April.

The nameref package redefines label to have five arguments instead of two,

http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/95541/6865, thanks to Michał Herman!) The
lastpage package is now compatible with the nameref package.
