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

I am pleased to announce a new update for the fontspec package. Please note it contains some changes regarding font encodings and the xunicode package that *may* affect its interactions with other packages.

More details in the notes below and the package documentation.

- v2.5 (2016/01/30) TL2016 release

* Provide a new Unicode font encoding (TU) to replace EU1/EU2 and xunicode. If this causes problems, load fontspec with the `[euenc]` option to revert to the old behaviour.

* New command `emfontdeclare` for defining font shapes when arbitrarily nesting the `emph` command.

* Allow slanted small caps and better internal methods for combining font shapes; this fixes a few bugs.

* Incorporate new font script tags for Indic fonts. E.g., when selecting `Script=Bengali`, fontspec will first query the font for the `bng2` OpenType script, and if not found select `beng`.

* Restrict some font features from being able to be used within `addfontfeatures` that were causing some font-loading confusion.

* Fixed behaviour in which `aselineskip` and `f@size` would (possibly) change values after loading the packge.

* Remove copy of `fixltx2e`'s code for footnote symbols; handled by LaTeX2e now.

* Deprecate `ExternalLocation` for the simpler (and identical) `Path` option.

* Improvement to some warnings/info messages.

* Improve structure of code.
