New on CTAN: datatool-english
The datatool-english bundle provides the English ldf files for the datatool package (v3.0+). The *.ldf files should all be placed on TeX's path. These files don't require any explicit loading. They will automatically be input by datatool-base.sty (or relevant supplementary package) if they are found and required by the tracklang localisation settings. See the datatool v3.0+ manual for further details. The English files provide encoding support for UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 (Latin 1). Any other encoding will be treated as US-ASCII. This bundle also includes limited support for Old English (Anglo-Saxon) mainly to provide an example for a language that has multiple scripts (in this case, Latin and Runic) or for a language that has an extended Latin or non-Latin script. The language codes are ang-Latn for Anglo-Saxon Latin Script and ang-Runr for Anglo-Saxon Runic Script. There's only support for UTF-8 with the Anglo-Saxon files. **This is being released in advance of the upcoming datatool v3.0 release.** These files will be ignored by existing versions of datatool.
