Will Robertson submitted an update to the

unicode-math

package.

Version number: 0.8
License type: lppl1.3

Summary description: Unicode mathematics support for XeTeX and LuaTeX.

Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- v0.8 (2015/07/29) **Breaking changes in this update!**

* `\mathrm` (`\mathup`), `\mathit`, `\mathbf`, `\mathsf`, and
`\mathtt` revert to their traditional LaTeX meanings; they are set
up to match their equivalent text fonts unless specifically set
using `\setmathrm` and friends from `fontspec` or the new
`\setmathfontface` in `unicode-math`. These commands should be used
for *multi*-letter identifiers.

* New "symbol" commands have been added, `\symrm` (`\symup`),
`symit`, ..., to replace the behaviour of the old commands. These
should be used for *single*-letter identifiers. See the package
documentation for more detail on these and related commands.

* Package options `mathit=sym`, `mathbf=sym`, etc., reverse the
changes above to revert to pre-v0.8 behaviour for `\mathXYZ`.
Regardless of package option, `\symXYZ` always maps to symbols and
`\mathtextXYZ` is provided for the traditional `\mathXYZ` font
switch.

* New command `\setoperatorfont` to set the font used for commands
such as `\sin` and `\cos`. Usage: `\setoperatorfont\mathbf` or any
command defined with `\setmathfontface`.

* Traditional LaTeX `\DeclareMathAlphabet` now works again for legacy
font-loading packages.

* Commands defined to "force" Greek letters with `\upbeta` and
`\itbeta`, etc.

* Assorted bug fixes and minor changes.
