+# What's new in babel 3.62
+
+2021-07-20??
+
+Most changes in this version are minor improvements in the code.
+
+## Unknown languages in auxiliary files
+
+A warning is shown instead of raising an error if a language is not
+found (for example, if there was a typo in the document).
+
+## LaTeX hooks
+
+There is partial support for the new LaTeX hooks. The hooks predefined
+by `babel` has the same names as those of `\AddBabelHook`, the main
+limitation being the parameters passed with the `babel` mechanism are
+not allowed. The generic unlocalized hooks are predefined, so that you
+can write:
+```tex
+\AddToHook{babel/afterextras}{\frenchspacing}
+```
+which is executed always after the extras for language being selected
+(and just before the non-localized hooks defined with `\AddBabelHook`.
+
+In addition, locale-specific hooks are allowed (executed just before
+the localized `babel` hooks), but **not** predefined. You have to do it
+yourself. For example, to set `\frenchspacing` only in `bengali`:
+```tex
+\RequireHook{babel/afterextras/bengali}
+\AddToHook{babel/afterextras/bengali}{\frenchspacing}
+```
+
+This mechanism does *not* replace the current one in `babel`. Its main
+advantage is you can reconfigure `babel` even before loading it.
+
+## Fixes
+
+* Locale dependent quotes with CJK (#131).
+* Babel and hyperref prevent changes to the \LaTeX logo (#138).
+
+## Option `provide` extended
+
+*Requires LaTeX 2021-06-01, and still somewhat experimental.*
+
+Instead of a star, the package option `provide=`can be followed by a
+string to be passed to `\babelprovide` (rememer this option refers to
+the main language). There is a difference: to separate options use
+semicolons instead of commas. You may need to wrap the string with
+braces. The option `import` is passed, too, even if not explicitly
+requested. A simple example is:
+```tex
+\usepackage[provide = maparabic, telugu]{babel}
+```
+It loads the `ini` declarations for Telugu much like:
+```tex
+\babelprovide[main, import, maparabic]{babel}
+```
+
+There is an advantage in this way to load the language, namely, the
+language is set as a package (or class) option, which is the standard
+way to configure languages in LaTeX.
