>
> * Most changes (and all significant ones) in this release thanks to Khaled
> Hosny, who is now credited as an author of the package.
> * Many improvements for XeTeX support to take advantage of the new engine
> (v0.9998) in TL2012.
> * As a result, `\resetmathfont` is no longer required.
> * Improve `\not` to use pre-combined glyphs where possible.
> * LM Math is loaded by default.
> * Support bottom accents.
> * And add `\wideutilde`.
> * The "symbols" document is somewhat better organised and contains
> information on whether a symbol is defined in plain TeX or amssymb.
> * Various other minor fixes and additions:
> * `\underleftrightarrow` added for fonts that support it.
> * Don't overwrite mathtool's `\overbracket` and `\underbracket`.
> * Bug in `[range=...]` parsing fixed.
> * Add `\longdivision`.
> * Add `\lgroup` and `\rgroup`.
> * Fix 'moustache' delimiters.
> * `\openbox` renamed to `\mathvisiblespace`, since it is already defined
> in amsthm as an empty box.
thanks for the upload; i've installed the new version, and updated the
catalogue repository.

The catalogue entry will change (somewhat) on the web, by tomorrow
morning (Cambridge time).

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.
