Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apologies, the recent release of fontspec had a major bug which
broke unicode-math. My test suite is clearly deficient!
A couple of other fixes/changes were made in the mean time.
Changes below:
- v2.5a (2016/02/01) bugs fixed
* Rather embarrassing bug fix! (`unicode-math` was broken.)
* Remember to add the `fontspec.cfg` file to the distribution.
* Remove `+trep` from `Ligatures=TeX` (no longer necessary).
* Add some basic tests using `l3build`; more to come.
* Simplify some internal Lua code and package loading code.

Note by the CTAN team regarding names of Catalogue entries:
In an attempt to resolve the ambiguity of graphics package
(i.e. graphics.sty, described by http://www.ctan.org/pkg/graphics)
and graphics bundle (containing graphics.sty as well as six
other packages) we have undertaken to create the new Catalogue
page http://www.ctan.org/pkg/latex-graphics for the description
of the _bundle_. This should hopefully make it to the website
in a very near future.
We are also considering renaming doc to latex-doc and
tools to latex-tools, but are still checking for possible
side-effects.
Please note that nothing of this will affect the actual URLs
on the archive in any way, i.e. the http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/...
URLs will all remain unchanged.

luatexja
package.
Version number: 20160131.0
License type: bsd
Summary description: Typeset Japanese with Lua(La)TeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
* luatexja-preset.sty: support Scale=<fp> and match options
when nfssonly option is specified.
* Japanese font family inside verb and verbatim environment
can be customized by jttdefault.
If luatexja-{preset,fontspec} with match option or ltjsclasses
are used, tfamily changes current Japanese font fmaily to
this jttdefault.
* Fixed several bugs.
Note that IVS support (to enable it, load luatexja-otf.sty and
execute directlua{luatexja.otf.enable_ivs()}) breaks vertical
writing mode with current LuaTeX.
(This IVS support works fine with LuaJITTeX, strangely.)

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.

ctanify
package.
Version: 1.8.1
License: lppl1.3
Summary description: Prepare a package for upload to CTAN
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ctanify is intended for developers of LaTeX packages who want to
distribute their packages via the Comprehensive TeX Archive Network
(CTAN). Given a list of filenames, ctanify creates a tarball (a
.tar.gz file) with the files laid out in CTAN's preferred structure.
The tarball additionally contains a ZIP (.zip) file with copies of
all files laid out in the standard TeX Directory Structure (TDS),
which facilitates inclusion of the package in the TeX Live distribution
of TeX.
Version 1.8.1 adds -y to the zip command to retain symbolic links
(suggested by Martin Sievers).

indexing macros have been expanded to allow indexing of names
from several domains. A new parser insertion mechanism has been

As usual, a number of typos, etc. have been corrected (and new ones
probably introduced).
