Summary description: Babel support for documents written in German
Announcement text:
This version introduces a BREAKING CHANGE: From now on, option "german" means contemporary (post-1996) German (de-DE-1996), except for documents that also load either of ngerman, naustrian or nswissgerman. Please refer to the manual for a rationalization of this change and possibilities to customize this behavior.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/babel-german The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/babel-contrib/german/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
