CTAN Update: fontspec

Will Robertson submitted an update to the fontspec package. Version: 2.5 2016-01-30 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I am pleased to announce a new update for the fontspec package. Please note it contains some changes regarding font encodings and the xunicode package that *may* affect its interactions with other packages. More details in the notes below and the package documentation. - v2.5 (2016/01/30) TL2016 release * Provide a new Unicode font encoding (TU) to replace EU1/EU2 and xunicode. If this causes problems, load fontspec with the `[euenc]` option to revert to the old behaviour. * New command `emfontdeclare` for defining font shapes when arbitrarily nesting the `emph` command. * Allow slanted small caps and better internal methods for combining font shapes; this fixes a few bugs. * Incorporate new font script tags for Indic fonts. E.g., when selecting `Script=Bengali`, fontspec will first query the font for the `bng2` OpenType script, and if not found select `beng`. * Restrict some font features from being able to be used within `addfontfeatures` that were causing some font-loading confusion. * Fixed behaviour in which `aselineskip` and `f@size` would (possibly) change values after loading the packge. * Remove copy of `fixltx2e`'s code for footnote symbols; handled by LaTeX2e now. * Deprecate `ExternalLocation` for the simpler (and identical) `Path` option. * Improvement to some warnings/info messages. * Improve structure of code. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/ We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

If luatexja-{preset,fontspec} with match option or ltjsclasses are used, tfamily changes current Japanese font fmaily to this jttdefault. * Fixed several bugs. Note that IVS support (to enable it, load luatexja-otf.sty and execute directlua{luatexja.otf.enable_ivs()}) breaks vertical writing mode with current LuaTeX. (This IVS support works fine with LuaJITTeX, strangely.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luatexja More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/luatexja We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

Scott Pakin submitted an update to the ctanify package. Version: 1.8.1 License: lppl1.3 Summary description: Prepare a package for upload to CTAN Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ctanify is intended for developers of LaTeX packages who want to distribute their packages via the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network (CTAN). Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a .tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure. The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of all files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS), which facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution of TeX. Version 1.8.1 adds -y to the zip command to retain symbolic links (suggested by Martin Sievers). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package's Catalogue entry can be viewed at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/ctanify The package's files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/support/ctanify/ We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
