Jürgen Spitzmüller submitted an update to the

babel-german

package.

Version: 2.11 2018-12-08 License: lppl1.3

Summary description: Babel support for documents written in German

Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

This release fixes an old hyphenation regression which was introduced with babel 3.7 (16 years ago!) in a number of shorthands: Since then, allowhyphens is deactivated in T1 encoding. Thus, hyphenation did not work as intended in T1 with shorthands that used allowhyphens. As a fix, babel-german now uses bl@allowhyphens which is synonymous to allowhyphens, except that it works in T1, in these shorthands.

Affected by this change: a o u A O U f | shorthands, and the ck macro.

Note that this change might affect line/page breaking. But then, the unnoticed regression fixed here did so as well. This change also restitutes compatibility with [n]german.sty for the mentioned shorthands.
