A new location for tango

The location of tango have been changed! Following my submission to CTAN yesterday, the team responsible for this network took the decision to install the class in macros/luatex/latex/tango rather than macros/latex/contrib/tango.

The reason for this change is that tango can only work with lualatex. For reasons of loading opentype fonts, pdflatex is excluded (not a surprise!) and, in practice, an so is xelatex; in the latter case, this could probably be sorted out, but is not, in my opinion, an emergency.

Another consequence of this change is that on the TeXLive distribution, the location of tango has also changed. It can now be found under texmf-dist/tex/lualatex/tango while the documentation is under texmf-dist/doc/lualatex/tango.

For "by hand" installation, you should also use the lualatex directory, but don’t worry, tango will be just as easily found by TeXLive under the latex directory.
