'unicode-math', пакет меняющий облик математических формул в теховых
файлах, наконец на CTAN. Его автор, австралиец Will Robertson будет о нем
говорить через 3½ недели на юбилейной 2⁵-той конференции TUG в Сан
Франциско.

(из вчерашнего анонса):

For those who have been interested in my unicode-math package, the first
released version is now available on CTAN and will be included in TeX Live
2010. (See below.)

It requires a very recent version of fontspec, which itself requires a few
other updates to other packages; if you're not keen on updating packages
manually (I'm not) then feel free to wait until it's included in your
distribution.

This package provides similar functionality to Andrew Moschou's mathspec
package, but goes further in providing access to symbols in the unicode
maths range. You'll need a unicode maths font to access them, of course :)
Asana Math is the best free option, otherwise Microsoft's Cambria Math is
currently the gold standard.

Feedback most welcome!

Best regards,
Will

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I guess it's now or never. With an archive of emails about the
thing going back to 2006, I think it's finally time to release this
package. (Sorry about the hold-up, really.)

This is the initial release of the unicode-math package for inclusion
in TeX Live 2010. It is designed to typeset mathematics with unicode
input and using OpenType math fonts. (There is very very little
compatibility with older maths packages.) XeTeX support is fully
tested but LuaTeX not quite so much. (At least the example file
runs...)

You can typeset with the STIX fonts with the present version of the
package, but there is no support yet for its extra alphabets in the
Unicode `private use area'. I hope to add support for them soon.

Thanks to all the people who've provided valuable feedback over the
years, and especially to Barbara Beeton for laying the foundations
with her work with the STIX fonts.

Good luck; I hope it works. Let me know if it doesn't. Finally, this
package is by no means complete (it's called the "initial release" for
a reason). Your feedback and suggestions now are greatly
appreciated. Anyone coming along to the TUG 2010 conference will have
the opportunity to hear me speak about it in a couple of weeks. (But
will I be able to muster up a full 30 minutes? Actually, yeah, I
probably will.)
