 ## Default renderer with `\babelfont`

 the ‘Greek family’, including Latin, Cyrillic, Armenian and Georgian.

 ## `import` in lazy loading

+## Changes in locale files

+* **French.** Fix spacing with `punctuation.space` and successive ‘!’ and
+  ‘?’. (Thanks to Daniel Flipo.)
+
+* **Japanese.** As explained in... , there were some pending tasks in a
+  few languages related to transform variables. Now the `japanese`
+  locale inserts the correct space with `linebreak.strict`, which is
+  controlled with `small.natural`, `small.plus` and `small.minus`. They
+  are set when the transform is activated to the `intraspace` values.
+  In addition, the penalty, by default 10000, can be reset with
+  `small.penalty`.
