-Devanagari for TeX Release Notes
-Version 2.13 20 October 2005
-=============================================================================
-
-= 20 October 2005: version 2.13
-
- - Preprocessor: ligature disabling character "+" implemented
-
- - Preprocessor: bug fix in handling <> characters
-
- - Preprocessor: ~m is now a synonym for /, i.e. candrabindu. Thus {\dn hU/}
- and {\dn hU~m} is the same.
-
- - Localization captions (\chaptername, \tablename, \today) etc. for Hindi
- and Modern Hindi were implemented. Sample file useful for customization
- distributed in the input directory.
-
- - Type 1 fonts regenerated because the METAFONT sources have changed
- slightly.
-
- - Type 1 version of the Pen Nepali fonts created.
-
- - File dvng.map is now created automatically during conversion to Type 1.
-
- - Modifications in the manual, compiled again with pdfTeX using the newly
- created fonts
-
- - The releases for CTAN and TeX Live should conform to the TeX Directory
- Standard. The README file was updated according to that.
-
- Note: The new Type 1 fonts have not been tested extensively. The previous
- version is therefore temporarily available from
- http://hroch486.icpf.cas.cz/velthuis/ and will be removed when we
- know that the new version does not cause any problems.

- family (it will work with automatically generated captions). If none are
- used, \dnoriginal will be used by default.

- family of DN fonts. Default depends on the above mentioned package
- options. The user is allowed to redefine it by \renewcommand.

-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-= 25 January 2004: version 2.1
-
- - Minor modifications to the documentation.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-= 01 July 2003: version 2.1
-
- - Alternates for several characters have been developed and can be used in
- separate alternate fonts along with standard fonts. The alternate
- characters are: initial a, initial .r, .na, cha, jha, and their half
- letters and ligatures; and the j~na and k.sa ligatures.
-
- - The source code for the fonts has been reorganized, making the
- generation of custom fonts easier. The standard Metafont parameter mag
- is now used to control the generation of fonts. All numeric parameters
- that were in the control files have been moved to dndefs.mf, and only
- mag is declared in the control files of the normal standard font.
- Appropriate calculations and assignments are made in dndefs.dn.
- Several optional variables have been added for use in base font files.
- Boolean values optionally set in a control file determine whether to
- select standard or alternate characters, and whether to select bold
- and/or italic. The thick and thin paramters that were set directly in
- some control files are now modified from a default value by multipliers
- (thickmag, subthickmag, and thinmag). The advantage of this is that a
- multiplier should remain constant, or nearly constant, for all point
- sizes. This technique is used in the pen font control files. The bold
- and italic boolean values set these multipliers transparently. defs.mf
- has been renamed dndefs.mf. dnchars.mf contains both standard and
- alternate characters.
-
- - The Plain TeX macros have been enhanced to make switching between
- Devanagari fonts easier. Enhancements include support for all new
- fonts, including pen, alternate, bold, and italic, at all the old
- font sizes.
-
- - New font definition files have been added: udna.fd, upn.fd, upna.fd.
- Also new Metafont control files dngen.mf, and dninit.mf. New macros
- have been added to dev.sty to enable switching to the four new font
- families.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-= 09 June 2003: version 2.02a
-
- - Bold, italic, bold italic, and pen fonts have been added.
-
- - The preprocessor was changed. Please refer to the change log
- in devnag.c for specific details.
-
- - udn.fd has been changed to incorporate new font shapes and variants.
-
- - dev.sty was changed. The macro definitions have been made more robust.
-
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-= 09 April 2003: version 2.02
-
- - Version 2.02 of the preprocessor has been released. The preprocessor was
- modified to output all ^^* characters as \3XXw because it is more robust.
- It also puts a definition of \DevnagVersion at the beginning of the
- output file so that the new preprocessed files can be automatically
- recognized. This version also defines a new preprodessor directive
- @modernhindi, which functions in the same way as @hindi but uses far
- fewer Sanskrit-style ligatures, preferring conjuncts built from
- half-consonant forms wherever possible. The definition of @sanskrit has
- been changed so that it now restores all the ligatures disabled by
- @modernhindi, not just those disabled by @hindi. The sequences dmya and
- hmya have been modified to produce d&mya, h&mya (rather than, as
- previously, dm&ya, hm&ya). The special warning message prompted by the
- long-defunct preprodessor directive @obeylines has been removed.
-
- - dev.sty was revised to make macros more robust. Several incompatibilities
- with other packages have been remediated. Catcode problems may be
- avoided by using the 'nocatcodes' option: \usepackage[nocatcodes]{dev}
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-= 21 March 2002: version 2.0a
-
- - Postscript Type 1 version of the dvng fonts have been created and
- are now part of this package. Please refer to the readme file in the
- misc/type1 directory for installation instructions.
-
- - Tom Ridgeway's dvpn fonts are now part of this distribution and
- reside in the misc/dvpn directory.
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-= 23 January 2000: version 2.0
-
- - devnag.c has been updated and greatly enhanced. If you have a previously
- installed version of devnag, you must recompile the source.
- A 32-bit DOS/Win95 executable (devnag.exe) has been provided.
-
- - dev.sty has been revised to fix certain \catcode problems. Several
- new features have been implemented in the package. Refer to the manual
- for descriptions.
