CTAN package update: unicode-math
the daemon burbles: The following information was provided by the package's contributor. Name of contribution: unicode-math Author's name: Will Robertson Package version: v0.6 Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math/ Summary description: Unicode mathematics support for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX License type: lppl Announcement text given by the package's contributor: -- The latest version of unicode-math adds several features, including \mathversion support and a large number of internal improvements. Apologies for any inconvenience caused while unicode-math was broken after I updated fontspec last week. My plans to do the updates simultaneously went awry. Complete change notes for this release are: * Math versions (finally) implemented; can now change maths fonts mid-document without reinitialising everything (thanks to Ulrike Fischer and Ulrik Vieth) * Symbols file `unimath-symbols.pdf` now uses maths versions to compare all of the OpenType maths fonts I currently have access to * Over- and under- braces, brackets, and parentheses now work in XeTeX (thanks to Claudio Beccari) * Many internal changes, including a re-write of the `range` feature; it should now be faster and more robust * Tentative programmer's interface for querying the current math style: `\l_um_mathstyle_tl`. * Remove (outdated) interaction with beamer; you must specify `professionalfonts` manually for now * Quieten the console output when loading maths fonts with incomplete maths style coverage * Synonym added: `\lnot` - `\neg` * Two added Unicode symbols (names tentative): `\blanksymbol` and `\openbox` (thanks to Apostolos Syropoulos) * Fixed literal sub-/super-script input. thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the catalogue repository.

CTAN package update: fontspec
the daemon witters more:
The following information was provided by the package's contributor.
Name of contribution: fontspec
Author's name: Will Robertson
Author's email: will.robert...@latex-project.org
Package version: v2.2a
Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/fontspec/
Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
License type: lppl
Announcement text given by the package's contributor:
--
This minor bug fix release addresses compatibility with other packages
such as mathspec that use old fontspec internals.
This update does NOT address the current problem with polyglossia
introduced with v2.2; to work around this yourself, please load
xkeyval at the same time as you load polyglossia:
\usepackage{xkeyval,polyglossia}
The advantage for fontspec with not loading xkeyval is to be able to
load the package before \documentclass, which can be useful when
compiling custom formats and preloading fonts.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the
catalogue repository.

If no dot is included 'tex' is used as extension (in catcode 12 other to match with \jobname). Support for the \input@path feature, used by packages like 'import', got added as well.
