Hi,
This is the announcement of babel release 3.8,
What's new in release 3.8?
Actually babel 3.8 is very much like the later releases of
babel 3.7. 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!
