V. 2.10 (2026/04/18) Bug fixes * Do not assign patterns to a variety more than once. * Optimize linebreaking with babelshorthands. * Fix the output of "/ babelshorthand in math. * Fix math mode output of some German babelshorthands for new spelling. * Fix spacing issues in some gloss files. New Features * Add basic support for Kyrgyz (Cyrillic writing). * Support legacy (LICR) macros for Cyrillic characters (\cyra etc.). This requires the file cyrl2uni.def shipped with babel as of version 26.7. * Add metadata to use the language provided in \DocumentMetaData ⟨lang⟩ key as the default language. * Add unibidi-lua option for unibidi-lua integration. * Add bidi option to control the loading of bidi or luabidi. * The language selected in the lang key in \DocumentMetaData is now used as the default language. You can suppress this with the metadata option. * Add aliases for babel-german’s new language names. * Add ". shorthand to German.
