Summary description: LaTeX classes and packages for Chinese typesetting
Announcement text:
This release adds a public interface for querying CTeX heading numbering, improves LuaTeX compatibility, and updates documentation. BREAKING CHANGES - Block loading the incompatible `CJKfntef` package on the LuaTeX backend; recommend using `lua-ul` instead (#381). NEW FEATURES - Provide interfaces to query heading numbers, full labels, and numbering switches by level, allowing Beamer theme authors to read and respond to CTeX localized numbering settings through public interfaces without accessing private variables (#275). DOCUMENTATION - Document the compatibility behavior of preserving zero paragraph indentation (#402). - Reorganize third-party compatibility notes by package, and add guidance on using ctex with `babel` and `biblatex` (#986, #987). Source code: https://github.com/CTeX-org/ctex-kit Issue tracker: https://github.com/CTeX-org/ctex-kit/issues

CTeX – LaTeX classes and packages for Chinese typesetting
ctex is a bundle of LaTeX classes and packages for typesetting documents in Chinese. It works with the (pdf)LaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX engines, supports GB2312 / UTF-8 / Unicode input, integrates Chinese punctuation kerning, multi-engine font configuration, and provides Chinese-style section heading commands for the standard article / book / report classes.
