Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This fixes the recent 1.3s bugfix... regarding the compatibility
of subdued mode with fontspec. It also fixes a very old bug
dating back to 2012 which made mathastext break under pdflatex
with a default font encoding other than OT1, T1 or LY1 when
attempting to configure the minus sign for math mode.
One breaking change: mathastext does not redefine anymore i and
j to let them be usable both in text and math mode.

Summary description: Businesscards with QR-Code
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens, if you give your visiting card to someone?
Either he manually types the text into his computer or mobilefone,
or it will end up in a box and be forgotten.
Nowadays data is required electronically, not on paper.
Here is the solution: A visiting card with QR-Code that contains a full vcard,
so that it can be scanned with an app on the mobilefone and therefore automatically
imported into the electronic contacts.
This also works well, when you are offline and bluetooth transfer fails.
So here is the highly configurable business card or visiting card
with full vcard as QR-Code, ready to send to online printers.
You can specify the exact size of the paper and the content within
the paper, inluding generation of crop marks.
