> The latest version of unicode-math adds several features, including

> Complete change notes for this release are:
> 
>   * Math versions (finally) implemented; can now change maths fonts
>     mid-document without reinitialising everything
>     (thanks to Ulrike Fischer and Ulrik Vieth)
>   * Symbols file `unimath-symbols.pdf` now uses maths versions to compare
>     all of the OpenType maths fonts I currently have access to
>   * Over- and under- braces, brackets, and parentheses now work in XeTeX
>     (thanks to Claudio Beccari)
>   * Many internal changes, including a re-write of the `range` feature;
>     it should now be faster and more robust
>   * Tentative programmer's interface for querying the current math style:
>     `\l_um_mathstyle_tl`.
>   * Remove (outdated) interaction with beamer; you must specify
>     `professionalfonts` manually for now
>   * Quieten the console output when loading maths fonts with incomplete maths
>     style coverage
>   * Synonym added: `\lnot` -> `\neg`
>   * Two added Unicode symbols (names tentative): `\blanksymbol` and `\openbox`
>     (thanks to Apostolos Syropoulos)
>   * Fixed literal sub-/super-script input.
