CTAN update: modes
by CTAN Announcements 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

Karl Berry submitted an update to the modes package. Version number: 4.1 License type: pd Summary description: A collection of Metafont mode_def's Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This update to modes.mf (the first since 2008) contains no new modes. What it does contain is a new macro (mode_include_extra_info) to make it convenient to enabled the inclusion of the so-called Xerox-world info, notably the coding scheme, from the command line. (This is not done by default per request from Don Knuth.) Soon, the mktextfm script distributed with TeX Live will look for an environment variable MF_MODE_EXTRA_INFO, and if set to something non-empty, call it. I also made some minor updates and fixes to the documentation, and included a pdf of the modes.mf file (made with mft) in the distribution. Feel free to send me any questions or comments (or new modes), or we use tex-fonts(a)math.utah.edu for a general discussion list. The only web page is on CTAN: https://ctan.org/pkg/modes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/fonts/modes More information is at https://www.ctan.org/pkg/modes ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.

CTAN Update: polyglossia
by CTAN Announcements 30 Jan '20

30 Jan '20

Arthur Reutenauer submitted an update to the polyglossia package. Version: 1.47 License: mit lppl1.3 cc0 Summary description: An alternative to babel for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Many new features, changes and bugfixes. New features: * IETF BCP-47 compliant language tags can now be used for loading and switching languages alternatively to language names (#226). * New commands languageid{<type>} and mainlanguageid{<type>}. * New test iflanguageidloaded. * New list xpg@bcp@loaded. * New environment {lang}{<lang>} (equivalent to {<lang>}, but also available with setlanguagealias* which does not define dedicated alias environments). * New gloss option totalhyphenmin (corresponds to LuaTeX's hyphenationmin) (#111). * New test iflanguageoption{<lang>}{<key>}{<val>} (#364). * Restore simple alphabetic numbering for asbuk and Asbuk in Belarusian, Mongolian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian (#377). * New command AsbukTrad and asbukTrad for Belarusian, Mongolian, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian which uses traditional alphanumerical numbering. * New numerals option cyrillic-trad and cyrillic-alph to differentiate simple alphabetic and traditional alpnanumerical Cyrillic numbering. * selectbackgroundlanguage and esetdefaultlanguage now also support language aliases. * New macro charifavailable{<char code>}{<substitution>}. * Add French language variant swiss. * Implement babelshorthands for Croatian. * Implement localnumeral for Japanese. Bug fixes: * Fix font family issue in headers (#355). * Fix whitespace issues in ext<lang> (#356). * Fix option-less abelname in multi-variant languages (#357). * Fix some spacing inconsistencies with French, Latin, and Sanskrit (#358). * Fix issues with babelshorthands and graphics package (#368). * Fix some captions and improve numbering in Marathi (#370). * Fix Hungarian swapstrings feature (#373). * Fix lua punctuation code problem (#374). * Fix Bengali changecounternumbering option (#381). * Fix whitespace issue in Japanese (#387). * Fix ext<lang> command with multiple paragraphs. * Actually implement documented german spelling variant '1996' (= 'new'). * Fix Slovenian localalph option. * Fix Czech and Slovak splithyphens with typewriter fonts. * farsical.sty: fix spacing issue with some month names. * Fix directionalty of numbers in Hebrew with XeTeX. * Improve interoperatability with biblatex (some language variants did not work yet). Interface and defaults changes: * Some boolean options had 'false' value by default, which meant if you passed them without value, the logic was reversed. This has been changed, leading to change of behavior should you have used one of these options without value (#363). Concerned are the following options: - babelshorthands in language belarusian, mongolian, ukrainian, and russian ('babelshorthands' now equals 'babelshorthand=true', no longer 'babelshorthands=false') - localalph in language slovenian ('localalph' now equals 'localalph=true') - latesthyphen in language german ('latesthyphen' now equals 'latesthyphen=true') - fullyear in package hebrewcal ('fullyear' now equals 'fullyear=true') * The command setlanguagealias* (introduced in v1.46) does no longer define dedicated alias environments. * The babelnames for latin variants have been corrected to classiclatin, ecclesiasticlatin and medievallatin. This is how the hyphenation patterns and babel extras are named, even though the variants can currently be selected in babel only via appended dot modifier. * In accordance with the respective l3kernel change, str_lower_case:n has been renamed to str_lowercase:n where used in polyglossia.sty. Thus polyglossia 1.47 requires l3kernel 2020-01-12 at least. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/polyglossia The package’s files themselves can be inspected at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/polyglossia/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks for the upload.
