Petras Kudaras added Lithuanian hyphenation in [#14][] in 2015.

minor updates:
Removed unused private methods
Governance changes:
Added Contributor Covenant 1.4.
Switched to GitHub Actions.
Switched to Standard Ruby.
Development changes:
The gem should install on all older version of Ruby, but as I am building with Ruby 2.7, I cannot guarantee full compatibility.

1 bug fix:
Evgeny Lapin (github.com/jenkek) pointed out that I forgot to include the new Russian-language hyphenation files, breaking the gem for use with Russian. Oops.

1 enhancement:
Kirill Maksimov (github.com/netoneko) added Russian-language hyphenation, complete with test. Thanks! In Ruby 1.8, the encoding is KOI8-R. Also submitted by Dmitry Lihachev (github.com/lda).
1 bug fix:
Visualization with hyphens larger than one character (such as the HTML soft-hyphen entity) would not be correct; this has been resolved. Thanks to hadmut (github.com/hadmut) for reporting this issue.

2 enhancements:
Cezary Baginsky (github.com/e2) added the ability to specify a hyphen character (such as the HTML soft-hyphen entity) instead of always using the dash-hyphen.
Added a new option to bin/ruby-hyphen to support the new feature.
1 bug fix:
bin/ruby-hyphen didn’t work when visualizing to a size. Fixed.

1 documentation update:
Fixed some typos in the README
Versions tested previously should continue to work. Versions not currently tested were not installed on the test system.

1 major enhancement:
This release supports Ruby 1.9 with UTF-8 encodings. The language files are duplicated for both Ruby 1.8 and 1.9 and the correct version is loaded based on RUBY_VERSION.
3 minor enhancements:
Making Hungarian and Norwegian language files act like the German language files (both of these languages have two alternative hyphenation tables).
Added a Malasy language file that should work correctly.
Cleaned up the documentation.
1 bug fix:
Fixed 9807 and 28128 (previously noted as not reproducible; quality reproduction cases were found).
Governance changes:
Relicensing the core library to the MIT license and attempting to clarify the license situation.
Renaming hyphen to ruby-hyphen.
This is the final release compatible with Ruby 1.8, first release compatible with Ruby 1.9.

Moved to 'hoe' and GitHub.
Preparing for 2.0 which will be Ruby 1.9-only for UTF-8.
Fixing German support (RubyForge 28498):
Choosing 'de' as a language will load 'de1'. Choosing 'de1' or 'de2' will load properly now, but they will be reported with an ISO language code of 'de' (new optional isocode attribute on a language definition that will override the iso_language setting of a Text::Hyphen instance if set).
Both 'de1' and 'de2' can be loaded simultaneously now, but the first one loaded will claim the Text::Hyphen::Language::DE constant.

Minor modification to the RubyGem release of Text::Hyphen to enable the hyphen command-line program.

Initial version based on TeX::Hyphen 0.4.0 (some changes have been backported to TeX::Hyphen 0.5.0).
Incorporated many hyphenation pattern files from CTAN.
