Summary description: Support for CJK documents in XeLaTeX
Announcement text:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This release fixes three bugs related to spurious or missing CJKecglue spacing.
BUG FIXES
- Patch LaTeX's `\verb` to drain the cached CJKecglue before entering verbatim content, fixing lost inter-character spacing between CJK text and `\verb` (or `shortvrb` short-hand) (#910).
- Patch `l3doc`'s `\__codedoc_meta:n` to wrap its argument in `\hbox:n`, fixing a spurious CJKecglue appearing before the first character inside `\meta` (#920).
- Patch `biblatex`'s `\blx@pagetracker` to clear `\g_@@_last_node_tl`, fixing a spurious CJKecglue appearing before the first character of a Chinese bibliography entry (#931).
