This version includes support for 74 different +languages. + +Polyglossia makes it possible to automate the following tasks: + +* Loading the appropriate hyphenation patterns. +* Setting the script and language tags of the current font (if possible and + available), using the package fontspec. +* Switching to a font assigned by the user to a particular script or language. +* Adjusting some typographical conventions in function of the current language + (such as afterindent, frenchindent, spaces before or after punctuation marks, + etc.). +* Redefining the document strings (like “chapter”, “figure”, “bibliography”). +* Adapting the formatting of dates (for non-gregorian calendars via external + packages bundled with polyglossia: currently the Hebrew, Islamic and Farsi + calendars are supported). +* For languages that have their own numeration system, modifying the formatting + of numbers appropriately. +* Ensuring the proper directionality if the document contains languages + written from right to left (via the package bidi, available separately). + +Several features of Babel that do not make sense in the XeTeX world (like font +encodings, shorthands, etc) are not supported. For German however, several +shorthands do make sense and can be activated with the language option +babelshorthands=true. + +Polyglossia is distributed in the traditional way with *.dtx and *.ins files, +and also comes with a TDS-conformant ready-to-unpack zip file. + +To install from source (i.e. using polyglossia.dtx), run + xelatex polyglossia.dtx +which will generate all files and produce the pdf documentation all at once. +Alternatively if you have the file polyglossia.ins run + xetex polyglossia.ins +and follow the instructions displayed. + + +BUGS + +Users are encouraged to report bugs on the github tracker: +http://github.com/reutenauer/polyglossia/issues + + +CHANGES + +1.3 (11-05-2013) + * Several bugfixes. + * Sync with Babel 3.9. + * Added support for LuaTeX. + * Added support for Tibetan (end of lines are experimental). + +1.2.0e (28-04-2012) + * Fixed a number of outstanding and not very interesting bugs. + * Added gloss files for Romansh and Friulan, contributed by Claudio + Beccari. + +1.2.0d (12-01-2012) + * Removed \makeatletter and \makeother from gloss files entirely. + +1.2.0cc (12-10-2011) [First update by Arthur Reutenauer] + * Update to gloss-italian.ldf by Claudio Beccari, incorporating changes + by Enrico Gregorio. + * Conclude every gloss file with \makeatother to match the initial + \makeatletter. (Not necessary from a technical point of vue, because of one of the changes by Enrico reported below, but I like it better that way :-) + * Conclude polyglossia.sty with \ExplSyntaxOff to match the initial + \ExplSyntaxOn. + * Added gloss file for Kannada, contributed by Aravinda VK and others. + * Corrections to the gloss-dutch.ldf thanks to Wouter Bolsterlee. + * Several patches by Enrico Gregorio, fixing long-standing bugs. + From the git log: + - Deleted setup for right-to-left writing direction, see http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2011-April/020319.html + - Changed three appearances of \newcommand to \newrobustcmd, as the commands needs to be protected. Bug reported by "kamensky". + - Corrected \datepolish as suggested by Piotr Kempa + - Changed \lccode" into \lccode\string", because it might come into action at wrong times when " is active + - Changed definition of key xpg@setup, as \@tmpfirst and \@tmpsecond were not expanded, causing dependence of \lefthyphenmin and \righthyphenmin to the last loaded language. Raised by Vadim Rodionov on the XeTeX mailing list. + - Deleted \bgroup and \egroup tokens from the definition of otherlanguage*; they serve no purpose (we are already inside an environment) and conflict with csquotes. Noticed by P. Lehman. + - Changed the calls of \input to \xpg@input, which inputs the required file and resets the catcode of @ to the same value as it had before the input. Since each .ldf file starts with \makeatletter, the old behaviour would leave a category 11 @, which is wrong. + - Added "\csuse{date#2}" to the definition of "otherlanguage*" + + +1.2.0b (03-10-2011) [Update by Philipp Stephani] + * Load xkeyval package explicitly since newer versions + of fontspec don't load it any more + +1.2.0a (27-07-2010) [Last update by François Charette] + * Initialize \fontfamily acc to value of \familydefault + (Fixes a bug when using polyglossia with beamer) + * Remove spurious space in def of \dateenglish + * Add missing English variant "american" + * Serbian: fix date format and captions (Latin+Cyrillic) + * Fix \atticnumeral in gloss-greek + * Small improvements and fixes in documentation + + +1.2.0 (15-07-2010) + * Adapted for fontspec 2.0 (will not work with earlier versions!) + * New implementation of a \PolyglossiaSetup interface + that simplifies writing gloss-*.ldf files + * Many internal enhancements and refactoring + (including a patch by Dirk Ulrich) + * Improved automatic font setup when \<lang>font is not defined + * New environment otherlanguage* (env. equivalent of \foreignlanguage + (Enrico Gregorio) + * Bugfix to prevent bogus expansion of \{rm,sf,tt}family even in aux files + (Enrico Gregorio) + * New gloss files for Armenian, Bengali, Occitan, Bengali, Lao, + Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, and Turkmen. + * New auxiliary packages 'devanagaridigits' and 'bengalidigits' + * hijrical no longer loads bidi and checks for incompatible l3calc + * Add Babel shorthands for Russian (based on a patch by Vladimir Lomov) + * Fix \fnum@{table,figure} for Lithuanian + * Various improvements in gloss-russian (provided by Vladimir Lomov and + others) + * Corrected captions for Bahasai, Lithuanian, Russian, Croatian + * Add option indentfirst=true for Spanish, Croation and other languages + (NB: indentfirst was previously named frenchindent) + * New option 'script' for German: Setting script=fraktur modifies the + captions for typesetting in Fraktur. + * New command \aemph for Arabic, Farsi, Urdu, etc. to mark emphasis through + overlining. + * Package option 'nolocalmarks' is now true by default: to activate it the + option 'localmarks' must be passed instead. + * Loading languages à la Babel as package options is no longer possible (this + feature was deprecated since v1.1.0). + +1.1.1 (23-03-2010) + * Bugfix for French: explicit spaces before/after double punctuation + signs ("Par exemple : les grands « espaces » du Canada !
