- ¦ ¦
- ¦ THE POLYGLOSSIA PACKAGE v1.2.1 ¦
- ¦ ¦
- ¦ Modern multilingual typesetting with XeLaTeX ¦
- ¦ ¦
- ¦----------------------------------------------¦
-
-This package for provides a complete Babel replacement for users of XeLaTeX.
-This version includes support for 68 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.

-CHANGES
-
-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*"
-
-
