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 .

Version number: SVN 6377 2016-01-19 License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: A testing and building system for (La)TeX Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Snapshot of SVN 6377 ==================== - Functions deprecated in 2014 removed (package authors have been informed of this change) - Case changing code revised to give more useful behaviour when working with UTF-8 input with pdfTeX and with LICR accents across all engines. The latter are now recognised 'directly' by the code and so need no special handling. For UTF-8 input, the code path for pdfTeX will now case change any code point that can be typeset in the T1 font encoding. - Retain whitespace in lines when processing with l3build. This will require adjustment to existing .tlg files, and is necessary to give better coverage of line normalisation between LuaTeX and other engines. - Fix behaviour of l3galley and addvspace/addvpenalty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/l3build More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/l3build We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
