+Devanagari for TeX Release Notes
+Version 2.14 14 May 2006
+=============================================================================
+
+= 14 May 2006: version 2.14
+
+ - The preprocessor can read files with any line endings on all platforms
+ (i.e. DOS CRLF, UNIX LF as well as Macintosh CR). More precisely: each
+ CR followed by LF is ignored and each CR followed by anything else is
+ treated as end of line. The line endings of the output file always
+ conform to conventions used on the operating system where the
+ preprocessor runs.
+
+ - @novconjunct implemented as an opposite of @vconjunct.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 5 April 2006: version 2.14
+
+ - Type 1 fonts replaced with better free Type 1 fonts from
+ CTAN:fonts/ps-type1/indic (author Karel Piska [p\'{\i}\v{s}ka])
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 3 April 2006: version 2.14
+
+ - Preprocessor: characters with code above 128 allowed in {\rm ...} inside
+ {\dn } text (UTF-8 not implemented yet)
+
+ - Preprocessor: the filename extensions are not fixed but may e given by
+ the user. Greater details in comments inside devnag.c as well as in
+ Chapter 5 of the manual
+
+ - Macros: code from dev.sty moved to devanagari.sty and dev.sty is kept
+ for compatibility with old files
+
+ - Organization: files in CVS reorganized according to the TeX Directory
+ Standard (TDS) so that installation as well as inclusion in standard
+ distributions such as TeX Live and MikTeX is easier. Detailed
+ installation instructions are in the README file.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 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.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 26 March 2005: version 2.12
+
+ - Modifed avagraha to remove the gap in the top-line between characters.
+
+ - Corrected test parameters for Nepali family in Nepali fonts.
+
+ - Regenerated TFM files for Nepali fonts.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 21 March 2005: version 2.12
+
+ - Revised alternate (Nepali) numeral 9.

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 14 March 2005: version 2.12
+
+ - Created Nepali Pen family METAFONT files, metric files, and LaTeX font
+ description file.
+
+ - Revised dev.sty to add new package options (bombay, calcutta, nepali,
+ pen, penbombay, pencalcutta, pennepali) for global selection of the font
+ family (it will work with automatically generated captions). If none are
+ used, \dnoriginal will be used by default.
+
+ - Added new macro to dev.sty, \dnfamilydefault, which stores the default
+ family of DN fonts. Default depends on the above mentioned package
+ options. The user is allowed to redefine it by \renewcommand.
+
+ - Added new \pen macro to dev.sty, which switches to the "pen" variant of
+ the current family.
+
+ - Added Vedic intonation marks macros \dnveda and \dnsamaveda to dev.sty.

+ for Nepali jha and half-jha. Created Calcutta regional variants for
+ .l and .L
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 5 March 2004: version 2.1
+
+ - Modified preprocessor to provide support for protected text.
+ Material within {\dn ... } (or $ ... $) may be enclosed within
+ angle brackets < ... >; it is then not processed, but is passed
+ through verbatim to the output file.
+
+ - Modified the preprocessor to correct the output of the "half j~na"
+ glyph in @hindi and @modernhindi modes.
+
+ - Modified the preprocessor to avoid using the control symbols \", \#,
+ \$, \%, \&, \'.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 28 February 2004: version 2.1
+
+ - Created font families for Bombay and Calcutta regional variants. Removed
+ general alternate font family.
+
+ - Removed "sba glyph and replaced it with an open-ya. This open-ya is
+ used to create better conjuncts with word-final ya. Created new .n.na
+ conjunct based on Calcutta regional form.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 13 February 2004: version 2.1
+
+ - Created new alternate characters for 5 and 8. Modified the alternate
+ .na and half-.na characters
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 09 February 2004: version 2.1
+
+ - Created new alterate la, alternate "sa, alternate lla conjunct, and
+ alternate half-"sa characters. Modified the alternate front-a, initial
+ .r, initial .R, cha, jha, chya conjunct, and half-jha characters.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+= 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.
+
+ - The fonts have been revised. Certain characters have been modified.
+ The font metrics have not changed.
