A few bugs that were long overdue for fixing -- apologies for the delay.
Change history
--------------
- v2.4c (2015/03/14)
* v2.4b was never released, sorry!
* This time *really* fix @fnsymbol and avoid overwriting it if
already fixed.
* Fix Renderer=Graphite (off-by-one error).
* Fix some edge cases for aliasfontfeature.
- v2.4b (2014/08/23)
* Improve backwards compatibility w.r.t. recent argument order
change; specifically, if an optional argument is presented before
the font name then avoid looking for one afterwards.
* Fix @fnsymbol; it was defined as a protected macro, where in
fact its internal text-or-math switch needed to be instead.
* No longer lowercase fontnames internally; this fixes a bug with
loading mixed-case .fontspec files.
* Fixed some documentation typos/inconsistencies related to recent
changes.

The accompanying datetime2-calc package can be used to convert
date-times to UTC+00:00.
Language and regional support is provided by independently maintained

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is cybercic, which is used in concert with the cyber package to
make documents with annotations of compliance with cybersecurity
requirements. cic stands for Controls in Contents, and when you
include this package, some notations of compliance are added to
section names as seen in the table of contents of the final document.
It also makes your document more brittle in unexpected ways: for
example, when you use cybercic in the same document as hyperref, you
cannot use any formatting in your section titles.
So don't use cybercic unless you need to.

Faithful readers of the CTAN-Ann messages may have noticed the
sudden disruption of the service about two and a half weeks ago.
This was not for lack of noteworthy submissions, nor had
the CTAN team gone on a collective holiday or on strike.
What had in fact befallen us was the -- gradual -- loss
of our second main host at Cambridge.
As a matter of fact we had been suspecting for some time that
this host was running more or less unattended, but on Thu
March 12 it definitely ceased to pick up the packages that
had been newly installed or updated on the server in Germany.
In consequence, all the mirrors (http://dante.ctan.org/mirmon/)
that had up to then obtained their new material via tex.ac.uk
went out of sync.
Still hoping that things might arrange themselves by themselves
within a few days, we did not take any immediate action except
trying -- in vain -- to reach somebody in charge at Cambridge.
We also stopped sending out CTAN-Ann messages, so that people
should not be tempted to go looking for new packages on stale
mirrors, and tried to contact mirror admins, asking them to
switch from tex.ac.uk to the German server.
As one can see on http://dante.ctan.org/mirmon/, these messages
still seem not to have reached all the persons concerned,
although the situation has improved a little.
Luckily, TeX Live was not affected by this problem, as they
are fetching their packages from the server in Germany.
We have now finally given up hope that the Cambridge server
will ever re-enter into reliable service again. We have
therefore taken the necessary measures to keep up the service
on our own.
In particular, we will post in the course of the day the
40 messages kept back during the past weeks and then
resume CTAN-Announcements as usual.
Thanks for your patience!
For the CTAN team
