GitHub).

3.28
- Fixes - wrong dir after math, in math inside tabular, in weak L
inside R inside L, and in boxes inside math.
- \babelfont now takes into account \defaultfontfeatures. This
is a potential source of backwards incompatibilities, but
very likely the risks are very low, and it is, I think, the
expected behavior.
3.29
The fix for boxes inside math with bidi=basic(-r) broke AMS.
I've removed the fix (a better one is under study)
3.30
- Fix: dir in boxes inside math (hopefully now it works).
- Option mapdigits for \babelprovide (only luatex).
3.31
- Basic support for line breaking with CJK scripts.
- layout=tabular now works with the 'array' package (and some
others).
- Preliminary support for bidi (by Vafa Khalighi) with xetex.
- Fix for 3.23 - \ensureascii was redefined even when not
necessary.
- Minor improvements in babel-vi.ini.
3.18
- More bidi in luatex: captions (required only in multilingual
docs) and tabular (required for R tables). Also an experimental
support for captions in xetex and pdftex (tabular is not yet
supported).
- New ini files: ar-DZ, ar-MA, ar-SY
- Fix - \begin{hyphenrules} didn't work with polyglossia.
- Fix - switch.def was loaded twice.
3.17
- A tool for bidi footnotes.
- Fix -- \ragged... didn't work for bidi.
3.16
- New package option layout for bidi documents.
- Quotes in TU encoding
- Fix - \<language>date did not work correctly
- Fix - with some languages (eg, british), using
\babelfont raised an error.
3.15
New command \babelfont (in Unicode engines) to define
language/script dependent fonts. Related to it, new
keys (script, language) in \babelprovide.
A common mistake is to leave some space(s) in
\captions<lang>, which go to the document. Now babel
removes them.
A couple of fixes:
- Error with hyphenrules in \babelprovide in some cases.
- \hyphenrules doesn't set \languagename any more (which
was against the documented behavior).
- R text (Hebrew-like) and AL text (Arabic-like) in
luatex, with "European" and "Arabic" numbers,
mirroring and unmarked L text.
- Fix - `import' ignored `hyphenrules' in ini files.
The package manages culturally-determined typographical (and other)
rules, and hyphenation patterns for a wide range of languages. A
document may select a single language to be supported, or it may
select several, and the document may then switch from one language to
another in a variety of ways.
