Announcement text:
Important change: - NEW: support for advanced LuaTeX & LuaLaTeX loading of patterns (they are not dumped into format, but loaded on demand) maintained by Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard and Élie Roux - NEW: plain version of patterns and exceptions (one pattern/exception per line) Other news: - NEW: Armenian (Sahak Petrosyan) and Lao patterns (Brian Wilson) - UPDATE: Spanish (Javier Bezos), Galician (Javier A. Múgica) and Italian patterns (Claudio Beccari) - new: sources and documentation for Spanish patterns - new: more documentation

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.
