-\item Shorthands are expandable again. The disadvantage is that

- shorthands.
-\item Support for typesetting Hebrew (and potential support for
- typesetting other right-to-left written languages) is now
- available thanks to Rama Porrat and Boris Lavva.
-\item A language attribute has been added to the |\mark...|
- commands in order to make sure that a Greek header line comes
- out right on the last page before a language switch.
-\item Hyphenation pattern files are now read \emph{inside a
- group}; therefore any changes a pattern file needs to make to
- lowercase codes, uppercase codes, and category codes are kept
- local to that group. If they are needed for the language, these
- changes will need to be repeated and stored in |\extras...|
-\item The concept of language attributes is introduced. It is intended
- to give the user some control over the features a
- language-definition file provides. Its first use is for the Greek
- language, where the user can choose the πολυτονικό (``polytonikó'' or
- multi-accented) Greek way of typesetting texts.
-\item The environment \Lenv{hyphenrules} is introduced.
-\item The syntax of the file \file{language.dat} has been
- extended to allow (optionally) specifying the font
- encoding to be used while processing the patterns file.
-\item The command |\providehyphenmins| should now be used in
- language definition files in order to be able to keep any
- settings provided by the pattern file.
