contextgarden.net
by Patrick Gundlach 17 Dec '10

17 Dec '10

Hi, as I have mentioned on the conference: I am looking for a person (or a group) to take over the server contextgarden.net. Not only the wiki or the modules section or ..., but the complete server. I have started everything more then seven years ago and we have all made it possible that contextgarden.net is now used by more then 500 unique visitors each day (the wiki alone). The average time a user spends on the wiki is three and a half minute (according to the stats, but this is inaccurate, of course), I think that is pretty good! But as usual in a setting like this, I have shifted my focus. This does not mean I like ConTeXt less then several years ago! By no means! But I am too busy with my new job and my family so there is pretty much no server maintenance (except for a reboot once in a while). I really hope that someone steps in and I can hand over all the files/databases and the domain name before the next conference. Do you think that this is worth posting on the main mailing list as well? Patrick

Luatex 0.65.0 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 13 Dec '10

13 Dec '10

Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.65.0. This release mostly fixes a number of bugs, but it also deprecates a number of existing lua and macro commands. Please read the News section carefully if you are the current maintainer of a luatex macro package. News: * The Aleph and Omega version primitives are deprecated. * The Apple Snow Leopard Truetype font collections now work properly. * Libpng has been updated to 1.4.4, and zlib to 1.2.5. * New lua functions node.next() and node.prev(). * The already deprecated for some time node.protrusion_skipable() function has been removed. * fontloader.apply_featurefile() and fontloader.apply_afmfile() now return nil,<errortable> on failure. * The various node list fields in the lua node interface have been renamed from 'list' to 'head', e.g. tex.box[0].head, and the 'list' name is deprecated. For now, the deprecation is silent, as 'list' will stay for quite some time. Please update your lua source as soon as possible, though. * The call node.type(<node>) now returns "node". The existing functionality is otherwise unchanged. * Luafilesystem has been updated to 1.5.0. NOTE: there is an incompatible change in the directory iterator method. * The restriction on linebreak_filter has been eased: at least one horizontal box should be returned, but that is not necessarily the last node any more. * Backward compatibility has been restored for \meaning\mathchar * node.first_character() has been renamed to node.first_glyph() to better match its actual functionality. * The \Umathaccent primitive now supports both/bottom keywords, and \Umathbotaccent / \Umathaccents are now deprecated. * The \Umathaccent primitive now also supports the fixed keyword, which supports non-growing math accents even if the font says there are extensible variants. * Ongoing work on the epdf library. Bugfixes: * Assignment to \dimen65535 was broken earlier. * <box>.head.prev is now always initialized to null (0). * luatex -lua=<script> '\relax' no longer exits immediately, instead going into interactive mode as it should. * The \jobname was initialized wrongly for input file names with multiple dots in them. * The synctex file is now written in the right place when --output-directory is given. * \letterspacefont could cause crashes, especially when combined with font expansion. * Luatex would crash on linux32 systems if it was build in an environment where LFS (>2GB files) was enabled by default. * Node lists created by node.copy_list() could not be hyphenated due to an assertion error. * Synctex support was partially broken since 0.60.0. * With OpenType math fonts, accents with multiple parts (like the \vec arrow) forgot to include all parts if the accentee was too narrow. * With OpenType math fonts, accents over any class except 0 and 7 were misplaced. * kpse.lookup("plain", {all = true}) was broken in kpathsea itself (no extension given as well as --all specified). * A FontForge bug made Cambria Math accents look bad, and the placement of math top accents did not allow a marker at the origin (patches by Stefan Philipp) * Cut&Paste from PDF was sometimes broken due to bad ToUnicode map. * Many small manual improvements (thanks to Paul Isambert) * An other bugfix to lpeg 0.9 (from Roberto Ierusalimsky) * Some small fixes to writet1.w (from Han The Thanh) * A build failure because of bad libz configuration on Win32 The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual: http://foundry.supelec.fr/gf/project/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co http://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.65.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco
