Phelype Oleinik submitted an update to the

                  lipsum

package.

Version:  2.4
License:  lppl1.3

Summary description:  Easy access to the Lorem Ipsum and other dummy texts

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
 ### Fixed
 - Removed spurious group around `\lipsum` to avoid problems with, for
   example, `wrapfig` (gh/1).

 ### Added
 - Czech dummy text provided by Ondřej Macek.
 - `\setlipsum` macro to change options in the document.
 - `hyphens` option to turn on/off hyphenation pattern selection.

 ### Removed
 - `\setlipsumdefault` (superseded by `\SetLipsumDefault`).
 - Some undocumented `expl3` interfaces (most of them kind of useless).
 - Undocumented `\IfLipsumText` function.

 ### Changed
 - Reorder text sources: sources are plain text and generated text files
   are plain-friendly.
 - Various internal changes for `expl3` code style compliance.
 - Added own range parsing to avoid low-level errors on missing range
   argument, e.g. `\lipsum[]` (gh/5).
 - Empty (optional) range arguments are now equivalent to not using the
   argument at all (that is, `\lipsum[]` is equivalent to `\lipsum`).
 - Use Unicode characters in `lipsum-cicero.txt` instead of text
   commands.
 - Use hyphenation patterns according to the language of the dummy text.
