-Guidelines for contributed languages
-------------------------------------
-
-Now language files are "outsourced" and are located in a separate
-directory, so that they are contributed directly to CTAN (please, do
-not send to me language styles just to upload them to CTAN):
-
-/macros/latex/contrib/babel-contrib
-
-Of course, placing your style files in this directory is not mandatory,
-but if you want to do it, here are a few guidelines.
-
-- Do not hesitate stating on the file heads you are the author and the
-  maintainer, if you actually are. There is no need to state the babel
-  maintainer(s) as authors if they have not contributed significantly
-  to your language files. 
-- Fonts are not strictly part of a language, so they are best placed
-  in the corresponding TeX tree. This includes not only tfm, vf, ps1,
-  otf, mf files and the like, but also fd ones.
-- Font and input encodings are usually best placed in the
-  corresponding tree, too, but sometimes they belong more naturally to
-  the babel style.  Note you may also need to define a LICR.
-- Babel ldf files may just interface a framework, as it happens often
-  with Oriental languages/scripts. This framework is best placed in its
-  own directory.
-- And do not forget providing a manual (as a stand-alone PDF document).
-
-The following page provides a starting point:
-
-http://www.texnia.com/incubator.html
-
-If your need further assistance and technical advice in the
-development of language styles, I am willing to help you.  And of
-course, you can make any suggestion you like.

+## Babel 3.16
 
 This package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other)
 rules, and hyphenation patterns for a wide range of languages.  Many
 language styles work with pdflatex, as well as with xelatex and
 lualatex out of the box.  A few even work with plain formats.
 
+The latest stable version is available on <https://ctan.org/pkg/babel>.

 Version 3.9a fixed lots of bugs and added some new features, intended
 mainly to make it compatible somehow with Unicode engines. Some bugs
