How up to date char-def.lua is?
by Khaled Hosny 23 Mar '10

23 Mar '10

Since Unicode keeps adding new characters and scripts with each release (and some times altering the properties of existing characters), I was wondering how up to date char-def.lua is, in particular on which version of Unicode data was it based and how frequently it is synced with Unicode (if at all). It would be even nice to have an mtx script to update the database when needed. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

Hi Mojca, since a few days ago the minimals appear to rsync the cache folder, too... is this intended? Oliver

Luatex 0.52.0 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 20 Mar '10

20 Mar '10

Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.52.0. New features: * Various small manual improvements. * A better version of getluatexsvnversion.sh, from Tomek. * node.copy_list() now allows the second (optional) argument to be nil. * An import of the current state of the texlive repository (kpathsea and build system). Bug fixes: * An attempt fix for bug #345 (math kerning is not perfect): when the current math font is a new math font, check against \catcode <cur_c> == 11 to suppress the italic correction, instead of looking at the value of space(<cur_f>). * There is a new <tfmtable> key: 'units_per_em' (defaults to 0). This is part of a fix for bug #200 (Problem with CFF fonts having em-size other than 1000): there is a special correction to the embedded cff font itself and the font scale if the font to be output is opentype or type1 in unicode encoding and the 'units_per_em differs' from zero. <tfmtable>.units_per_em has to be passed back to luatex from the lua font loading code for this to work. * A fix for bug #314 (problem with pk file). * lua code can no longer change the internal preallocated glue_spec nodes (as that resulted in weird spacing bugs). For this, glue_specs now have a new field: 'writable'. If that field is false, a copy has to be made of the glue_spec instead of doing an assignment to it. * Setting of \textdir inside the output routine could trash output on following pages due to a lingering internal variable. * \pdfthread crashed because the arguments were handled in reverse order. 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-0.52.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco

interlinespace
by Hans Hagen 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hi, I added \defineinterlinespace ... needs a bit of checking \setupinterlinespace[list] \setupinterlinespace[assignments] \defineinterlinespace[defined_name][assignments] \setupinterlinespace [defined_name][assignments] \setupinterlinespace[defined_name] the potential is there to do \defineinterlinespace[defined_name][another_name][assignments] as we use the parent mechanism I hope i didn't break too much.

Luatex 0.51.0 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 12 Mar '10

12 Mar '10

Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.51.0. New features: * Various small manual improvements. * The backend message "cannot open Type 1 font file for reading" now reports which Type1 font it was looking for. * Fontforge clears some font names at loading time that will be refilled in at font generation time, but the fontloader should not do that. Patch from Khaled Hosny. * New synctex code imported from TeXLive. * luamd5/md5.h is renamed to luamd5/luamd5.h to avoid confusion. * Embedded mplib is now 1.209. * Some experimental tweaking of buildpage_filter, see the manual for details. * Luatex now detects kfreebsd (from Alan Braslau) * The new lua function tex.sp() converts a string to a number representing scaled points. * There is now support for revision numbers in the banner and stats library again. * The command line help and manual documentation page is extended. * node.hpack() now also accepts "cal_expand_ratio" and "subst_ex_font" modifiers. * node.hpack() and node.vpack() now give back the badness of the box as second return value. * node.copy_list() now allows a second (stop) argument, this stopper is not copied. * new lua functions in lfs: lfs.readlink() and lfs.shortname(). * new lua function tex.tprint() that can combine multiple catcode regime prints in one function call. * new lua sub-table: tex.nest[] (read/write access to the semantic nest state). * New lua functions in kpse: kpse.lookup() and kpse.version(). See the manual for more details. * New lua function tex.shipout(). Bug fixes: * There problems in the pdf output for Type3 (pk) fonts. * Fix a bug that allowed bad commandline quoting. * Fix a bug that sometimes caused crashes when \pdfprotrudechars. * The build script now exports CONFIG_SHELL to avoid problems with /bin/dash. * The was a bug in the generated /Image /ProcSet. * status.font_bytes reported the wrong value. * Lots of compiler warnings are removed (thanks Javier Mugica). * Patch to fontloader.info() to accept filenames with embedded parentheses. * Fix a \write error with docstrip package. * Fixed a crash on AdobeMyungjoStd-Medium.otf. * Fix coco stack overflows, needed for lpeg. * \pdfcompresslevel wasn't initialized for early immediate objects. * Fix for slanted fonts when HZ was on (slant angle was multiplied). * When concatenating content streams, put a space between them. * Allow pfb lines to end with \r as well as \n (for msam10.pfb). * Fix the internal string->scaled point conversion in the lua interface. * Memory leaks in the fontloader removed, thanks to patches from Elie Roux. * Fix a crash caused by the combination of coroutines and font.each(). Removed features: * Support for Type3 .pgc files (nobody used them).

Versioning system for modules
by Patrick Gundlach 11 Mar '10

11 Mar '10

Hi, esp. Mojca, what are the requirements for version controlled systems? What are the usecases? It is hard to decide which versioning system to use without knowing who needs it and when. Thanks! Patr... (can't type the rest of my name right now, too complicated)
