What’s new in babel 3.80

2022-09-17

Dates

There is a new calendar for amharic, named ethiopic.

The ini locale for hungarian provides a new date variant named superessive, which prints something like ‘2022. augusztus 30-án’.

Fixed the final dot in some locale dates, which should be represented by [.]. Remember you can define the behavior of this dot with \BabelDateDot (which by default is .\@), so that you can apply tricks like Detect beginning of a sentence in a macro for capitalization.

There are a few additional fixes:

• Latin: In pdftex, numerals were printed in arabic form.
• Thai: Buddhist and Gregorian were reversed.
• Persian: The Persian calendar was not loaded.
