Summary description: Hyphenation patterns expressed in UTF-8
Announcement text:
This is another bugfix update, overdue from 2021. Back then we added Albanian to the list of supported languages, but there were duplicates in the pattern file, and because of time constraints that change needed to be rolled back, so that Albanian wasn’t added to TeX Live until (hopefully) now.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/hyph-utf8 The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/language/hyph-utf8/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese

hyph-utf8 – Hyphenation patterns expressed in UTF-8
Modern native UTF-8 engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX need hyphenation patterns in UTF-8 format, whereas older systems require hyphenation patterns in the 8-bit encoding of the font in use (such encodings are codified in the LaTeX scheme with names like OT1, T2A, TS1, OML, LY1, etc).
The present package offers a collection of conversions of existing patterns to UTF-8 format, together with converters for use with 8-bit fonts in older systems. Since hyphenation patterns for Knuthian-style TeX systems are only read at iniTeX time, it is hoped that the UTF-8 patterns, with their converters, will completely supplant the older patterns.
