Robert Alessi submitted an update to the

arabluatex

package.

Version number: 1.8.2 2017-04-02 License type: gpl3+ cc-by-sa-4.0

Summary description: An ArabTeX-like interface for LuaLaTeX

Announcement text: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- arabluatex v1.8.2: As of v1.8, arabluatex supports the so-called 'arabica' transliteration standard (/Journal of Arabic and Islamic Studies/, published by Brill). This release fixes several bugs that have found their way into v1.8 by domino effect: - tāʾ marbūṭah was wrongly interpreted before ʾiʿrāb when arbup was active in dmg mode; - -ī/-īyah were not parsed correctly in 'dmg' mode. 'loc' and 'arabica' rules needed to be more robust as well;

And also into v1.8.1: - ʾalif maqṣūrah being wrongly interpreted from buckwalter letter 'Y' to 'arabica' transliteration; - cap being discarded in transliterated sequences when they were inserted into non-transliterated Arabic environments or commands.

v1.9 will include more layouts of Arabic poetry, and as of v2.0 arabluatex should be able to produce TEI xml outputs. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
