CTAN update: fontspec
Will Robertson submitted an update to the fontspec package. Version number: 2.4c License type: lppl1.3 Summary description: Advanced font selection in XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Announcement text: -- A few bugs that were long overdue for fixing -- apologies for the delay. Change history -- - v2.4c (2015/03/14) * v2.4b was never released, sorry! * This time *really* fix \@fnsymbol and avoid overwriting it if already fixed. * Fix "Renderer=Graphite" (off-by-one error). * Fix some edge cases for \aliasfontfeature. - v2.4b (2014/08/23) * Improve backwards compatibility w.r.t. recent argument order change; specifically, if an optional argument is presented before the font name then avoid looking for one afterwards. * Fix \@fnsymbol; it was defined as a \protected macro, where in fact its internal text-or-math switch needed to be instead. * No longer lowercase fontnames internally; this fixes a bug with loading mixed-case ".fontspec" files. * Fixed some documentation typos/inconsistencies related to recent changes. -- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/fontspec More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/fontspec We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .

The latest version of fontspec (v2.1a) brings the following

- `\fontspec_if_feature:n(TF)`
- `\fontspec_if_language:n(TF)`
- `\fontspec_if_current_script:n(TF)`
- `\fontspec_if_current_language:n(TF)`
