> * Math versions (finally) implemented; can now change maths fonts
> mid-document without reinitialising everything
> (thanks to Ulrike Fischer and Ulrik Vieth)
> * Symbols file `unimath-symbols.pdf` now uses maths versions to compare
> all of the OpenType maths fonts I currently have access to
> * Over- and under- braces, brackets, and parentheses now work in XeTeX
> (thanks to Claudio Beccari)
> * Many internal changes, including a re-write of the `range` feature;
> it should now be faster and more robust
> * Tentative programmer's interface for querying the current math style:
> `\l_um_mathstyle_tl`.
> * Remove (outdated) interaction with beamer; you must specify
> `professionalfonts` manually for now
> * Quieten the console output when loading maths fonts with incomplete maths
> style coverage
> * Synonym added: `\lnot` -> `\neg`
> * Two added Unicode symbols (names tentative): `\blanksymbol` and `\openbox`
> (thanks to Apostolos Syropoulos)
> * Fixed literal sub-/super-script input.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the

The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) overnight tonight.

unicode-math – Unicode mathematics support for XeTeX and LuaTeX
This package provides a comprehensive implementation of unicode maths for XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. Unicode maths requires an OpenType mathematics font, of which there are now a number available via CTAN.
While backwards compatibility is strived for, there are some differences between the legacy mathematical definitions in LaTeX and amsmath, and the Unicode mathematics definitions. Care should be taken when transitioning from a legacy workflow to a Unicode-based one.
