CTAN Update: babel

[CTAN Announcements]

Javier Bezos López submitted an update to the

                babel

package.

Version:  3.19  2018-04-25
License:  lppl1.3

Summary description:  Multilingual support for Plain TeX or LaTeX

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

 Most changes are for LuaTeX:
 
 - The main new feature is a bidi method for both implicit L in
   R text, and implicit R in L text, with the possibility of
   switching the font automatically. Still somewhat
   experimental, but it should work in most cases.

 - layout=extras for a couple of miscellaneous readjustments.
 
 - bidi equation numbers.

 Also, for all engines, new field in some ini files:
 digits.native (to be used in future releases).
