- updated documentation
- Common text rendering code was factored out of the linear and matrix renderers into its own resource.
- The ITF-14 encoder's text positioning was fixed.
- The Code 128 encoder's raw mode was fixed.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced to accept top and bottom for the textyalign option.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with a textdirection option.
- The linear and matrix renderer were enhanced with support for extratextsubspace, extratextsplit and extratextlinegaps options corresponding to the alttext equivalents.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with alttextsubspace that allows given characters to be substituted for spaces.
- The linear and matrix renderers were enhanced with alttextsplit and alttextlinegaps options that may be used to render multi-line blocks of text.
- The GS1 AI linter was realigned with the latest release of the GS1 Syntax Dictionary.
- The encoder for EAN-8 was changed to forbid the use of a two-digit or five-digit addon unless a permitaddon option is supplied.
- The high-level encoder for MaxiCode was replaced with a new algorithm that may result in significantly shorter messages.
- The encoder for Aztec Code was fixed so that punctuation compression works correctly after a binary sequence.

lua-unicode-math
package.
Version: 0.2 2025-12-11
License: lppl1.3c
Summary description: OpenType Math font support for LuaLaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Modern LaTeX engines support Unicode based input and Unicode based
fonts in the OpenType format, making LaTeX more compatible with
newly developed fonts.
OpenType also supports mathematical fonts containing a special
MATH table to contain metrics needed for mathematical typesetting.
These fonts offer many advantages over traditional TeX math fonts,
including a very big selection of available symbols and better
accessibility support.
These fonts can be used in LaTeX with the unicode-math package,
which comes with a significant performance overhead and is
incompatible with other math fonts.
lua-unicode-math is an experimental package to provide a faster
alternative in LuaLaTeX which integrates better with LaTeX’s internal
support for math families and therefore also makes it easier to
combine it with traditional font packages.
