Javier Bezos submitted an update to the babel package. Version number: 3.9i License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX. Announcement text:

---

What's new ~~~~~~~~~~ - With LuaTeX, spaces are not ignored after shorthands and closing braces can follow them. - \textlatin and friends are deprecated. For the logos (see below) a new macro is used if necessary (\ensureascii), so \textlatin is not used in the core any more. - \babelensure can be used to wrap caption texts with \foreignlanguage, as well as to enforce an encoding. - \babeltags is just for syntactical sugar, and defines macros with short names to switch the language (eg, \textdeu and \deu). - Bug fixed -- The logos \TeX and \LaTeX were typeset in a wrong font in some cases. Now if a non-ASCII font is not loaded they are not redefined at all. - Partial compatibility with languages named as \lang@ instead of \l@ (plain etex/xetex/luatex). - Bug fixed -- \bbl at allowhyphens is now ignored in vertical mode. - Bug fixed -- Loops with \@for failed in Plain. - Bug fixed -- A few codes in xetex where wrong when loading patterns. - Bug fixed -- With strings=encoded captions were left unchanged in \MakeUppercase/\MakeLowercase.
