    * Version 3.6a no longer loads the \pkg{keyval} package, options are
    now managed by core LaTeX commands (\pkg{ltkeys}).
    * The thin space added before footnote�s calls is now customisable
    (suggested by Thomas Savary), the command�s name is |\FBfnmarkspace|.

    Daniel Flipo submitted an update to the

    babel-french

    package.

    Version: 2025-06-28
    License: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: Babel contributed support for French

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    This is a major update. The package is now split into two parts:
    * file frenchb3.dtx for pdfTeX and XeTeX engines (frozen),
    * file frenchb.dtx for LuaTeX only.

    For the end-user nothing changes:
    \usepackage[french]{babel}
    automatically loads either french.ldf if the file is compiled
    with LuaTeX, or french3.ldf if the file is compiled with pdfTeX
    or XeTeX.

    New for LuaTeX users:
    * new option TocPartFullName,
    * new lua function "euphonic_t" to inhibit hyphenation on
    the second hyphen of strings like "semble-t-il",
    * bug fix: \spaceskip is now handled properly when non null,
    * and more: see section "Changes" in frenchb.pdf or frenchb-doc.pdf.

    PDF tagging: lists' customisation is disabled when tagging is enabled.
    see [details](https://github.com/latex3/tagging-project/issues/694).
