Support for a number of languages has been added. + Here is a list of the changes since babel 3.7h: + - Shorthands are expandable again. The disadvantage is that + one has to type '{}a when the acute accent is used as a + shorthand character. The advantage is that a number of other + problems (such as the breaking of ligatures, etc.) have + vanished. + - Two new commands, \shorthandon and \shorthandoff have + been introduced to enable to temporarily switch off one or more + shorthands. + - The support for Hebrew has been updated by Tzafrir Cohen + - Support for Slovak has been extended with shorthand + definitions. + - Support for typesetting Sanskrit in transliteration will + be made available in a later release of babel. + - Support for typesetting Kannada, Devnagari and Tamil will + be made available in a later release of babel. + - Support for typesetting interlingua is now available, thanks to + Peter Kleiweg <kleiweg@let.rug.nl>. + + The last remark: where can you get babel 3.8? + It is available in the directory + /tex-archive/macros/latex/rewuired/babel on CTAN. + + Happy LaTeXing! + + Johannes Braams + +TeXniek, Kersengaarde 33, +2723 BP Zoetermeer The Netherlands. +Phone : +31 79 352 28 19 E-mail : johannes at braams.cistron.nl +Fax : +31 70 343 41 85 +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
