I've uploaded the archives

  cjk-4.5.2.tar.gz
  cjk-4.5.2-doc.tar.gz

to ftp.dante.de/incoming.  Please replace the old CJK version in
language/chinese/CJK with the new one.  In the archive, the top
directory is called cjk-4.5.2 -- maybe it is better to rename this to
4_5.2 as with the previous archive.

The archive cjk-4.5.2-doc.tar.gz should not be unpacked.

Below is a proper announcement.

Thanks in advance.

CJK 4.5.2
=========

CJK 4.5.2 is available from ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/language/chinese/CJK
and other CTAN hosts and its mirrors.  Following the CTAN rules, the source
files of CJK are unpacked.  Additionally, the archive CJK-4.5.2-doc.tar.gz
is available which provides some CJK documentation and example files in
various output formats.

Current development snapshots (updated twice a day) are available from
ftp://ftp.ffii.org/pub/cjk/devel/.

Bug reports should go to cjk-bug at ffii.org.


CJK is a macro package for LaTeX, providing simultaneous support for various
Asian scripts in many encodings (including Unicode):

  Chinese (both traditional and simplified)
  Japanese
  Korean
  Thai

A special add-on feature is an interface to the Emacs editor (cjk-enc.el)
which gives simultaneous, easy-to-use support to a bunch of other scripts in
addition to the above:

  Cyrillic
  Greek
  Latin-based scripts
  Russian
  Vietnamese

See below for the relevant snippet from the history file.

Enjoy!

======================================================================

Version 4.5.2:  new:
28-Mar-2003         The new macro \CJKnohwkatakana prevents the use of the
                      C49 encoding for half-width katakana; instead, the
                      characters are mapped to full-width glyphs.  The
                      opposite command is \CJKhwkatakana (the default).

                    Improved support for pseudo-vertical typesetting.

                      . CJKvert.sty provides new commands \CJKvert (the
                        default) and \CJKhorz to toggle pseudo-vertical
                        typesetting.

                      . After loading CJKvert.sty, LaTeX reads file
                        `<foo>.fdv' (if it exists) immediately after reading
                        `<foo>.fd'.  Such a file contains additional
                        information how to typeset a font vertically.  Most
                        importantly, outline fonts can be configured so that
                        they are rotated with the graphicx package, making
                        it work with both dvips and pdfTeX.  See
                        `vertical.doc' for more information.

                errors:
                    \CJKchar sometimes didn't accept 7bit representations.

                    pinyin.sty:
                      Added missing syllables \chua, \den, \rua.
                      Make it work properly in tables.

                    contrib/wadalab:
                      Older versions of the `makefont' script produce bad
                      hints for all Wadalab fonts. Either use the new
                      version to regenerate all fonts or use the new script
                      `fixwada' to correct fonts created with an old version
                      of `makefont'.

                    EUC-TW.chr: Make it really work.

----- End forwarded message -----

Thanks for the upload.  I installed it as suggested in
CTAN:language/chinese/CJK/ and the documentation in
CTAN:language/chinese/cjk-4.5.2-doc.tar.gz, replacing the old version 4.5.1.
