CTAN Update: babel-german

[CTAN Announcements]

Jürgen Spitzmüller submitted an update to the

                babel-german

package.

Version:  2.11 2018-12-08

Summary description:  Babel support for documents written in German

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 This release fixes an old hyphenation regression which was introduced
 with babel 3.7 (16 years ago!) in a number of shorthands: Since then,
 \allowhyphens is deactivated in T1 encoding. Thus, hyphenation did not
 work as intended in T1 with shorthands that used \allowhyphens.
 As a fix, babel-german now uses \bbl at allowhyphens which is synonymous
 to \allowhyphens, except that it works in T1, in these shorthands.

 Affected by this change: "a "o "u "A "O "U "f "| shorthands, and the \ck macro.

 Note that this change might affect line/page breaking. But then, the
 unnoticed regression fixed here did so as well.
 This change also restitutes compatibility with [n]german.sty for the
 mentioned shorthands.
