SJTUTeX aims to establish a simple and easy-to-use collection
of document classes for Shanghai Jiao Tong University,
including the thesis document class sjtuthesis, as well as the
regular document classes sjtuarticle and sjtureport.
This package is designed for typesetting multiple English
translations of the Holy Quran. It adds 15 additional English
translations to the quran package.
autotype is a LuaLaTeX package for automatic language-specific
typography. Currently, it supports ligature suppression at word
boundaries, long s insertion for blackletter typesetting, and
weighted hyphenation, but only for German (old and new
orthography).
New features:
- tex4ht.sty is now loaded before the load of the processed TeX file. This enables
patching commands used before \documentclass.
- new command line option: --build-dir. It moves auxiliary and temporary files
to a specified directory.
- list packages with no corresponding TeX4ht configuration .4ht file.
- new extension: copy_images. It copies included images to the output directory.
There are also a lot of bug fixes for MathML, HTML, ODT, and JATS post-processing.

MetaPost:
* MPFI library now included for interval arithmetic; enabled with
--numbersystem=interval.
pdfTeX:
* More reliable text extraction on BigEndian systems.
* More checks against corrupt pfb, fmt, pdf files.
* Avoid writing a corrupt pdf given unusual pdf inclusions.
* Manual converted to LaTeX and thoroughly reviewed, though substantive
updates are minimal.
epTeX, eupTeX:
* eptex no longer built separately; it runs in euptex’s legacy-encoding mode.
CWEB:
* Support LuaTeX as backend TeX engine.
* Fix buffer overflow on lines with no breakpoint.
Part of TeXlive 2024
* Lua-level checks for writing to files now similar to the TeX-level checks.
* If the Lua value texconfig.trace_extra_newline is set, blank lines are
output in the log between macro parameters. In 2020–2023, this was the
case by default; before that, such blank lines were never output, which
is the behavior of the other engines.
Part of TeXlive 2024
* Calculate time zone offset in the same way as pdfTeX.
* Handle variation selectors to cope with the new Adobe-Japan1-UCS2 CMap.
* Fallback multibyte characters in virtual fonts to OFM fonts for (u)pTeX.
