I've just uploaded CJK version 4.8.1 to ftp.dante.de.

Here the announcement text.


For TeXLive: Please no longer install the files from doc/man/pdf; they
are now autogenerated in TeXLive (as far as I have understood the
issue).

CJK 4.8.1
=========

CJK 4.8.1 is available from

  ftp://ftp.dante.de/pub/tex/language/chinese/CJK

and other CTAN hosts and its mirrors.  Following the CTAN rules, the
source files of CJK are unpacked.  Additionally, the archive
CJK-4.8.1-doc.tar.gz is available which provides some CJK
documentation and example files in various output formats.

Current development snapshots are available from

  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=cjk.git;a=summary

which also shows the commitments to the git repository of the CJK
package.

Bug reports should go to cjk-bug at ffii.org.


CJK is a macro package for LaTeX, providing simultaneous support for
various Asian scripts in many encodings (including Unicode):

  Chinese (both traditional and simplified)
  Japanese
  Korean
  Thai

A special add-on feature is an interface to the Emacs editor
(cjk-enc.el) which gives simultaneous, easy-to-use support to a bunch
of other scripts in addition to the above:

  Cyrillic
  Greek
  Latin-based scripts
  Russian
  Vietnamese

See below for the relevant snippet from the history file.

Enjoy!

Version 4.8.1:
10-Aug-2008
                new:
                    SUN Wen-Chang has contributed the CJKspace.sty package
                    which modifies the `CJK*' environment to suppress spaces
                    only after CJK characters.  See CJKspace.txt for
                    details.

                errors:
                    Pinyin syllable macros (defined in pinyin.sty) were not
                    robust, causing problems with indices, for example.

                    Some Chinese .fd and .fdx files were missing for fonts
                    which are present in forthcoming TeXLive distribution.
