Javier Bezos submitted an update to the
babel
package.
Version number: 3.9i
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX.
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
What's new
~~~~~~~~~~
- With LuaTeX, spaces are not ignored after shorthands and closing
braces can follow them.
- extlatin and friends are deprecated. For the logos (see below) a
new macro is used if necessary (ensureascii), so extlatin is not
used in the core any more.
- abelensure can be used to wrap caption texts with
foreignlanguage, as well as to enforce an encoding.
- abeltags is just for syntactical sugar, and defines macros with
short names to switch the language (eg, extdeu and deu).
- Bug fixed -- The logos TeX and LaTeX were typeset in a wrong font
in some cases. Now if a non-ASCII font is not loaded they are not
redefined at all.
- Partial compatibility with languages named as lang@ instead
of l@ (plain etex/xetex/luatex).
- Bug fixed -- bl@allowhyphens is now ignored in vertical mode.
- Bug fixed -- Loops with @for failed in Plain.
- Bug fixed -- A few codes in xetex where wrong when loading patterns.
- Bug fixed -- With strings=encoded captions were left unchanged in
MakeUppercase/MakeLowercase.

Bob Tennent submitted the
playfair
package.
Version date: 2014-03-14
License type: ofl
Summary description: Playfair Display fonts with LaTeX support
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Playfair Display is well suited for titling and headlines. It
has an extra large x-height and short descenders. It can be set
with no leading if space is tight, for instance in news
headlines, or for stylistic effect in titles. Capitals are
extra short, and only very slightly heavier than the lowercase
characters. This helps achieve a more even typographical colour
when typesetting proper nouns and initialisms.
The designer is Claus Eggers Sørensen.
