Announcement text: 
----------------------------------------------------------------------

 > 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


 > Current development snapshots are available from
 > 
 >   http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=cjk.git;a=summary
 > 
 > which also shows the commitments to the git repository of the CJK
 > package.
 > 
 > Bug reports should go to cjk-bug at ffii.org.

 > Version 4.8.0:
 > 22-May-2008
 >                 new:
 >                     Support for EUC-JP with DNP font encoding has been
 >                     added.
 > 
 >                     Support for XeLaTeX has been contributed by SUN
 >                     Wen-Chang <sunwch at hotmail.com> (in file
 >                     `xCJK.sty').  Note that this is just a rudimentary
 >                     emulation layer; most users are probably better
 >                     off using XeLaTeX's Unicode and font support
 >                     directly.  See `xCJK.txt' for more details.
 > 
 >                     pinyin.sty:
 >                       Added support for T5 encoding.
 > 
 > 		    CJKvert.sty:
 >                       Added command \CJKbaselinestretch to adjust the
 >                       baseline stretch used in vertical typesetting.
 >                       Previously, the value 1.3 was hardcoded.
 > 
 >                       Added package option `usebaselinestretch' to use
 >                       the \baselinestretch value set before loading
 >                       CJKvert.sty; \CJKbaselinestretch then becomes a
 >                       factor to adjust it.
 > 
 >                       Add support for \CJKhdef{offset}{...} in
 >                       .fdx-files.  For example, to vertically shift
 >                       all glyphs of the `bsmi' font shape in Big 5
 >                       encoding (for horizontal writing), put
 > 
 >                         \CJKhdef{offset}{-.07em}
 > 
 >                       into c00bsmi.fdx and add
 > 
 >                         \usepackage{CJKvert}
 >                         \CJKhorz

 >                 errors:
 >                     \CJK at bold didn't work properly for C49 (half-width
 >                     katakana) encoding. Now C49 is handled as a CJK
 >                     encoding, this is, you should use the various size
