 Release 1.2 (in development)
 ============================
 
+* The ``'fontpkg'`` item in :confval:`latex_elements` now defaults to ``''``
+  when the :confval:`language` uses the Cyrillic script.
+  Suggested by Dmitry Shachnev.
+
 * PR#114: The LaTeX writer now includes the "cmap" package by default. The
   ``'cmappkg'`` item in :confval:`latex_elements` can be used to control this.
+  Thanks to Dmitry Shachnev.
 
 * New locales: #1113: Added Hebrew locale.
