 > 
 > Version 4.6.0:  new:
 > 11-Aug-2005         CJKutf8.sty merges basic LaTeX's and CJK's UTF-8 support.
 >                     See CJKutf8.doc for details.
 > 
 >                     The two new macros \Thaispace and \Thainospace can be
 >                     used to control the EOL behaviour in Thai text blocks
 >                     if processed with cjk-enc.el.
 > 
 >                     There are now scripts (for Unix) to call pdflatex
 >                     instead of latex: bg5pdflatex, sjispdflatex, etc.;
 >                     all scripts now pass parameters to latex (the program).
 > 
 >                     New documentation files giving hints how to set up the
 >                     CJK package for optimal PDF output.
 > 
 >                     New documentation file `reftex.doc' describing
 >                     customization for RefTeX (which is part of Emacs).
 > 
 >                     CJKfntef.sty provides more font effects specific to
 >                     CJK scripts. See the example file CJKfntef.tex for
 >                     typical usage.
 > 
 > *                   All .fdv-files have been renamed to use the suffix
 > *                   `.fdx' since they are no longer restricted to vertical
 > *                   writing direction.  See the new file `fdxfiles.doc'
 > *                   for more information.
 > 
 >                 changed:
 >                     All plain text documentation files now have the suffix
 >                     `.txt'.
 > 
 > *                   Thai support has been improved.
 > *
 > *                     . Internally, the font creation process now uses
 > *                       fontinst to create the TFM files. As a consequence,
 > *                       virtual fonts are no longer necessary.
 > *
 > *                     . Due to an uncertain license, the `dbtt' font family
 > *                       has been replaced with `garuda', taken from
 > *                       thailatex version 0.3.5.1 which you can find at
 > *
 > *                         http://linux.thai.net/plone/TLWG/thailatex
 > *
 > *                     . The directory tree below `utils/thaifont' has been
 > *                       updated to reflect TDS 1.1, as supported by the
 > *                       forthcoming TeXLive 2005 and teTeX 3.0.
 > *
 > *                     Please replace all files related to Thai fonts in your
 > *                     TEXMF tree with the new fonts and font support files.
 > 
 > *                   HLaTeX support has been updated to handle fonts from
 > *                   version 1.0.1---there are no longer MF source files,
 > *                   only PS fonts. Support for non-uhc fonts have been
 > *                   removed; you should upgrade to the latest HLaTeX font
 > *                   archives from CTAN. Please consult CJK.txt, section
 > *                   `Korean input', for the (slightly) changed font names of
 > *                   HLaTeX support.

 >                 errors:

 >                     pinyin.sty:

 > 
 >                       Umlaut u with macron above was broken.
 > 
 >                     CJKulem.sty:
 >                       User-defined \CJKglue value was ignored.
 > 
 >                       Line breaks before a post-punctuation CJK glyph
