Summary description: experimental hyphenation patterns for the German language
License type: lppl
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This package provides experimental hyphenation patterns for
the German language, covering traditional and reformed
orthography for several varieties of Standard German. The
patterns can be used with packages Babel and hyphsubst from
the Oberdiek bundle.
Dieses Paket enthaelt experimentelle Trennmuster fuer die
deutsche Sprache. Die Trennmuster decken das in
Deutschland, Oesterreich und der Schweiz gebraeuchliche
Standarddeutsch in der traditionellen und reformierten
Rechtschreibung ab und koennen mit den Paketen Babel und
hyphsubst aus dem Oberdiek-Buendel verwendet werden.
2009-06-24: v0.20
-----------
Aenderungen:
* allgemein:
** Die Trennung von Zahlwoertern wurde verbessert.
** Die roemischen Zahlen bis MMD (2500) werden nicht getrennt.
** Viele zusaetzliche irrefuehrende Trennungen werden vermieden.
** Viele Fehler in der Wortdatenbank wurden korrigiert.
** Die Dokumentation wurde erweitert.
* dehypht-x (traditionelle Rechtschreibung, Deutschland, Oesterreich):
Der Ersatz ss fuer ß wird beruecksichtigt und wie bei der Schreibung
mit ß getrennt. Das Babelkuerzel S muss damit in Versalwoertern
nur noch in Ausnahmefaellen verwendet werden (siehe auch Regel T2
in der Paketdokumentation).
* dehyphts-x (traditionelle Rechtschreibung, Schweiz):
Es werden neue Trennmuster fuer die traditionelle Rechtschreibung
des Schweizer Standarddeutschs angeboten. Die Trennmuster
unterscheiden sich von denen fuer die traditionelle Rechtschreibung
des Standarddeutschs Deutschlands und Oesterreichs (dehypht-x) in
der Trennung von ss als Ersatz fuer ß. Babelunterstuetzung fuer
diese Trennmuster fehlt bisher jedoch. Wer machts?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Thread locking issues were fixed. The linegranularity is now
respected when
drawing thick curved lines. A bug in FSAL ODE integrators
when using a
fixed time step was fixed. Missing miterlimit defaults were
added.
Xasy was updated to use Python 2.6.2 and Imaging-1.1.7b1
(which requires no
alpha support patches). Obsolete patches were removed. More
TeXLive build
issues were addressed: the install-prebuilt target omits
texhash and does
not attempt to install PNG files for asymptote.info. A
configuration
problem with --disable-gc was fixed. The 3D mouse bindings
are now
customizable. Support was added for generating syntax
highlighting for the KDE
editor Kate.

This version corrects problem caused by MikTeX 2.7 writing

information, a ctrl/Z causes a premature end-of-file
condition. On MS-Win, latexmk now reads the log file in
binary mode.

1. i recently realised that our mirror of macros/plain/base wasn't
delivering the correct stuff (don's latest updates went into
systems/knuth/dist/lib and not to the canonical place on ctan for the
files).
i've therefore corrected that; macros/plain/base now contains don's
latest release.
see http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/plain.html
2. version 3.0 of the amsfonts bundle has been released. this includes
revised versions of the ams fonts, and an update of the long-
established y&y and blue sky research versions of the computer modern
fonts (for which the ams holds the copyright).
note that rather little of the amsfonts documentation has been updated
for the new version; the ams are working on that.
see http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/amsfonts.html
that's quite enough excitement for one day. now i'll get back to _real_
work.
