    Summary description: Typeset CJK in XeLaTeX

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

    This release fixes two spacing bugs in xeCJKrCOs inter-character glue handling.

    BUG FIXES

    - In the post-transparent move of the rCLmarker + candidate gluerCY
    suffix, infinite-order stretch/shrink glue (`\hfill`/`\hfil` etc.)
    is now excluded via `\skip_if_finite:nTF`, so it is no longer
    incorrectly moved past the zero-size box.
    This fixes asymmetric fill when CJK text is immediately followed
    by a source space and `\hfill\null` (#1085).

    - Spacing inside brace groups now uses a rCLkern placeholder inside
    the box plus stretch/shrink appended at the word boundaryrCY strategy,
    so that the shrink component of `\CJKecglue` and the stretch component
    of `\CJKglue` are correctly returned to the enclosing list (#1067).
