What’s new in babel 24.3

2024-03-29

There aren’t many changes.

Fixes

A silly typo in the interchar rules for French spacing: puntuation.space instead of punctuation.space.

Other changes

• Bodo: added a counter named alphabetic.
• There is a new setting in \babeladjust named interchar.disable, which is the equivalent in xetex to transforms.disable, ie, it tells babel when the interchar definitions are disabled. It takes two values, namely nohyphenation and off.
• There is a new macro named \localebox, related to issue #285 and somewhat experimental. Please, refer to the issue for further info. Feel free to add comments and suggestions.
