Summary description:
A BibLaTeX implementation of the GBT7714-2015 bibliography style
for Chinese users
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
### date of change: 2017-04-11 to version v1.0h, the last version support texlive2015
* Changes to pkg code:
- *.bbx: deal compatibility problem of author style for texlive2017,
because the old cmd printdateextralabel with biblatex3.4 has been
replaced by printlabeldateextra with biblatex3.7 in texlive2017.
- *.bbx: change the seperator between multi-language reference text
form cmd par to cmd newline for the gb7714-2015 align style
- *.bbx: fix a flaw reported by Lee Zeping. remove the comma between
journaltitle and (number) when the volume is undefined.
- *.bbx: add an option gbpub to control the publishing info.
if gbpub=false, publishing info's format is the biblatex standard
style, otherwise is gb7714-2015 style. The origin idea comes from Wayne08.
- *.bbx: fix a flaw reported by zjsdut(a)163.com. remove the
dot before url when url is the only info available。
- *.bbx: add an option gbnoauthor for author-year style.
when author is undefined, set option gbnoauthor=true then
author with 佚名orNOAUTHOR will be defined.
note that with biblatex version 3.7 or higher for multiple
DeclareStyleSourcemap support, code can be simplifed, because
the realization code now with texlive2016(biblatex 3.4) is
subjected to the one DeclareStyleSourcemap constraint.
* Changes to documentation:
- biblatex-gb7714-2015.tex: revise this document
- *.bib: correct a warning which is caused by long multi-line url info.

Summary description: An OpenType Devanāgarī font designed for scholars
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Shobhika is a free, open source, Unicode compliant, OpenType font with
support for Devanāgarī, Latin, and Cyrillic scripts. It is available in
two weights—regular and bold.
The font is designed with over 1600 Devanāgarī glyphs, including support
for over 1100 conjunct consonants, as well as vedic accents.
The Latin component of the font not only supports a wide range of characters
required for Roman transliteration of Sanskrit, but also provides a subset
of regularly used mathematical symbols for scholars working with scientific
and technical documents.
The project has been launched under the auspices of the Science and Heritage
Initiative (SandHI) at IIT Bombay, and builds upon the following two fonts
for its Devanāgarī and Latin components respectively: (i) Yashomudra by
Rājya Marāṭhī Vikās Saṃsthā, and (ii) PT Serif by ParaType.
We would like to thank both these organisations for releasing their fonts
under the SIL Open Font Licence, which has enabled us to create Shobhika.

Summary description: Emulate non-Unicode Japanese fonts using Unicode fonts
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The set of the Japanese logical fonts (JFMs) that are used as
standard fonts in pTeX and upTeX contains both Unicode JFMs and
non-Unicode JFMs. This bundle provides an alternative set of
non-Unicode JFMs that are tied to the virtual fonts (VFs) that
refer to the glyphs in the Unicode JFMs. Moreover it provides a
LaTeX package that redefines the NFSS settings of the Japanese
fonts of (u)pLaTeX so that the new set of non-Unicode JFMs will
be employed. As a whole, this bundle allows users to dispense
with the mapping setup on non-Unicode JFMs.
