Luatex 0.60.1 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 28 Apr '10

28 Apr '10

Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.60.1, a bugfix release for the 0.60 branch. New features: * renamed node.skipable() to node.skippable(). * More git discovery patches in getluatexsvnversion.sh. * Added --warnings=[no|min|yes|max|all] option to build.sh. * While cross-compiling, build.sh now adds an extra linker switch to allow win32 exes to use 3G instead of 2G of virtual memory. Bugfixes: * os.exec() & os.spawn() handled the environment differently from os.execute() on Win32 (patch from Tomek) * Builds with --enable-ipc were broken. * Assigning and acquiring \fontdimen s from TeX code was broken. * An initial attempt at fixing bug #372 (\predisplaydirection). * An attempt to fix \eqno/\leqno placements in mixed direction \mathdir/\textdir. * Our local xpdf patch is reverted, it is not needed any more. * The os.selfdir variable was not documented, as well as broken on WIN32. * Fix "\input tikz hello \bye" bug, plus fix one sign error. * Fix handling of lua script files with UNC names. 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-0.60.1 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco

Luatex 0.60.0 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 05 Apr '10

05 Apr '10

Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.60.0. This release starts a new chain of stable beta's, and will be the version included in this year's TeXLive. New features: * os.name now knows about CYGWIN (from Elie Roux) * Internal handling of direction specifiers is faster now. * Each glyph node now has three new virtual read-only fields: width, height, and depth (values in scaled points, of course) * There are new functions node.protrusion_skipable() and tex.badness() (useful for paragraph breaking in lua) * Also new: tex.linebreak(). See the manual for details. * All lua errors now report file and line numbers to aid in debugging. * Import of metapost 1.211. * pdf.pdfcatalog will be replaced soon by the new pdf.catalog pdf.pdfinfo will be replaced soon by the new pdf.info pdf.pdfnames will be replaced soon by the new pdf.names pdf.pdftrailer will be replaced soon by the new pdf.trailer * pdf.pdfmapfile and pdf.pdfmapline are replaced by the new pdf.mapfile() and pdf.mapline() functions. (a function interface fits these parameters better because they never return anything). * New read-write lua variables: pdf.pageattributes, pdf.pageresources, pdf.pagesresources * getluatexsvnversion.sh now correctly detects git-svn and still manages to find a valid SVN revision number (from Patrick Gundlach) * Many of the source files have been converted to CWEB. Bug fixes: * GNU libtool is now used to solve the various technical issues with dynamic loading of lua modules. * Error detection in scan_integer_part was wrong due to missing initialization of OK_so_far (spotted by Javier Mugica) * Synctex was broken in 0.51-0.52. * \lastlinefit was broken since ... well, nearly forever. * Reading of binary files with length zero was broken. * Trapping of unitialized rules (this was for sloppily created rule nodes from lua) * pdf.immediateobj('streamfile') was broken on 64-bit platforms. * tex.linebreak did not take the given left and right skip, but instead used the current TeX-side values (bug #356). * the found 'MAKE' command in build.sh is now fed into configure to fix problems with that not finding GNU make even when it is actually installed. * dofile(<nil>) and loadfile(<nil>) in batch mode now give an error and continue instead of pointlessly waiting for user input. * Reverted commit #3417 (the buildpage experiment) as it causes bad things to happen when items are waiting during page breaks. * Overrule loaders[4] in --safer mode, make require() behave closer to normal lua 5.1, and add some nicer error messages (based on an email and patches from Manuel Pegourie-Gonnard) * Added an extra sanity check for GDEF loading in luafontloader, based on a crash caused by Linux' AkaashNormal.ttf.
