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

    This is a major revision to the HitType package, creating a new basic command structure which allows it to be safely incorporated into documents which also include the LuwianType package. It does away with the capitalized commands in favor of a simple parser that uses space- or stop-separated lowercase sign names which improves the typing experience, and allows for simpler sign naming conventions which align more closely with the Ullikummi font documentation. This new version has now also been officially validated with XeLaTeX besides LuaLaTeX, allowing for more users to benefit from its functionality.
