+# What's new in babel 24.11
+
+**Draft**
+
+## Manual thoroughly revised
+
+It’s a work in progress, but a good deal of obsolete comments have been
+updated, sections have been reorganized, and some explanations have been
+extended. There are also more examples.
+
+The layout is also somewhat different — macro and environment names are not
+set in the margin anymore.
+
+## Transform variables
+
+Values in some transforms are hardcoded in the `ini` files and cannot
+be modified. Now a new feature in introduced to readjust them. No `ini`
+has been modified yet, but CJK languages (for proper margin alignment),
+French (spaces with punctuation) and Tibetan (for traditional
+justification) will be extended soon.
+
+Only numeric parameters in prehyphenation.
+
+`{variable|default}`: uses the variable as defined by
+\SetTransformValue{<locale-name>}{<variable-name>}{<value>}. If the
+variable is not defined (or its value is `nil`), use the default value.
