----------------------------------------------------------------------


Changes in version 3.51 are described in:

https://github.com/latex3/babel/wiki/What's-new-in-babel-3.51

Here is a summary:

* Common interface to (re)define captions (with
  \setlocalecaption).
* frenchspacing filled in many ini files.
* A new internal macro (for ldf files) named \babel at texpdf, to
  ease interoperativity with hyperref in shorthands.
* Fixes:
  - Error when loading a language on the fly in tabular (#97).
  - 'hyphenrules' raised an error with 'base' option (#59).
  - Better handling of autoloaded languages (eg, catcodes).
  - An error was raised with CJK and a null font (#99).
  - language.tag.bcp47 and tag.ini in \localeinfo didn't work
    (#102).
