Günter Milde submitted an update to the
babel-greek
package.
Version number: 1.12 2023-03-04
License type: lppl1.3
Summary description: Babel support for documents written in Greek
Announcement text:
Fix errors with the 2022/06 implementation of `\MakeUppercase`: - Do not change the uccode values if the LaTeX version is newer than 2022/06. The new ``\MakeUppercase`` definition ignores them and fails with the "dummy" character 0x9f (cf. [ltnews35], `LaTeX issue 987`). - TODO: Fix upcasing of accented characters with "short accent macros" and with "LGR transliteration". New modifiers ``local-LGR-fixes`` and ``no-LGR-fixes`` to address indexing problmes with Roman numerals (`Babel issue 170`_). Provisional. New TextCommand ``\EnsureStandardFontEncoding``. Rename ``\textgreek`` to ``\lgrfont`` to avoid confusion with a language changing command. Documentation update and refactoring. "athnum" package: Don't require Babel. Use LICR macros instead of the Latin transliteration.
