i'm vacantly staring at my screen, but the daemon disturbs me with:
Name of contribution: fontspec Author's name: Will Robertson Package version: v2.2 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/ Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
This is a relatively large update for fontspec featuring quite a number of internal changes -- please report any troubles you find and I'll address them as swiftly as I can. The notes for this version release can be found below. Please ensure your version of the expl3 package is up-to-date before installing this update.
Happy TeX-ing! Will
v2.2 (2011/09/13)
- Support alternate selections in CharacterVariant (cvxx in OpenType) using new syntax `[CharacterVariant=5:2]`.
- Add `fontspec`-compatible `oldstylenums` and `liningnums` commands.
- New programmer's function `fontspec_set_fontface:NNnn` (for use when `zf@basefont` might previously have been queried).
- Log file output is slightly tidier.
- Some old lingering bugs squashed:
- Small caps font selection was broken in some cases. (Thanks Enrico Gregorio.)
- Fonts loaded by filename with under-specified shapes threw an error (e.g., asking explicitly for bold but not italic). (Thanks Vafa Khalighi.)
- Documentation improvements largely due to Markus Böhning.
- Many internal changes, among which:
- `xkeyval` package no longer used for option processing; `expl3`'s `l3keys` used instead. This allows `fontspec` to be loaded before `documentclass` (thanks Heiko Oberdiek for reporting the issue) and fixes a potential conflict with the `preview` package (thanks again Vafa).
- Internal names changed; avoid zf@basefont, zf@family, etc. from now on -- there are public interfaces now to get access to the same information
- Update `expl3` support to latest CTAN version.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.
Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/fontspec.html or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/
The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.
