CTAN Update: babel

[CTAN Announcements]

Javier Bezos López submitted an update to the

                babel

package.

Version:  3.13  2017-09-18
License:  lppl1.3

Summary description:  Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX

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

 What's new
 ----------

 - Existing ldf files take priority over declared options
   with \DeclareOption (except hebrew).

 - With a few exceptions, ini files have reached version 1.0.

 - New key `import' for \babelprovide, which also defines dates.

 This means babel currently provides (total or partial) support
 for about 200 languages. Many of them are usable with XeTeX
 and LuaTeX.

 Current development is focused on Unicode engines, mainly
 font handling and bidi writing.
