by Taco Hoekwater 01 Jul '10

01 Jul '10

Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.60.2, a bugfix release for the 0.60 branch. Bugfixes: * Various small portability fixes, especially for non-gcc compilers. * Updated synctex from Jerome Laurens. * fix bug #406: \pdfliteral hinders hyphenation. * fix pdf overprinting bug (related to \pdfliteral). * patch from Akira Kakuto that ensures that only absolute commands that are inside the %PATH% will be executed in win32's restricted \write18 * fix a buffer overflow in luafontloader. * fix cross-platform share-ability of generated formats. * fix a few typos in the manual. * fix trashing of the null glue spec by attribute reference code. * documented the deprecated state and brokenness of otp processing. 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-0.60.2 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco

Checksum of original font files stored in the cache?
by Oliver Buerschaper 19 Jun '10

19 Jun '10

Dear wise guys, the other day I found myself caught in a trap that might be a frequent source of puzzlement for the casual ConTeXt user :-) I had replaced an OpenType font in the usual OS directory by a new version. Typesetting documents using that font produced surprising results... the PDF files were merrily messed up. I reckon I didn't pay attention to the interplay between font files and the LuaTeX cache... apparently ConTeXt was using the outdated font cache data together with the new font file since a few days later the problem was resolved once I had to regenerate the cache for other reasons. Only then did I notice I had also cured this font problem. Do you think it would be a good idea to store a checksum of the actual font file used while generating the cache? Best, Oliver

structure commands
by Wolfgang Schuster 18 Jun '10

18 Jun '10

Hi Hans, what’s the for status the usage of the new structure code commands in mkiv? header have now the internal commands \definestrcuturehead and \setupstructurehead with \definehead and \setuphead as synonyms, should the former internal names ever be mentioned in the doku or lets pretend they do no exist (what i prefer) and mention only \define/\setuphead? a bigger problem seems to me the \definestructure(separatorset|prefixset|...) commands, the names are too long and it's weird to have commands with 'definestrcuture' in their name but no matching command with 'strcuture' in the name which use these settings.

Macro Defintions
by Wolfgang Schuster 31 May '10

31 May '10

Hi Hans, there is a bug in x-set-11.mkiv As you can see from this example ConTeXt loads commands in mkiv with the name only and ignores environment and generated attributes. \usemodule[set-11]\loadsetups \starttext \subject{MkII} framedtext: \showsetup{framedtext*}\par startframedtext: \showsetup{startframedtext*} \subject{MkIV} framedtext: \showsetup{framedtext}\par startframedtext: \showsetup{startframedtext} \stoptext There is also a typo in the following setup (also x-set-11.mkiv): \startxmlsetups xml:setups:assemblename + \doifelse {\xmlatt{#1}{type}} {environment} { - \doifelse {\xmlatt{#1}{environment}} {yes} { ... \stopsetups Wolfgang

developers meeting in Brejlov
by Jano Kula 24 May '10

24 May '10

Dear friends, if you would find it useful to work and discuss actual problems and future development in person, there will be a good opportunity on September 18 (Saturday), after the ConTeXt meeting is over. There will be the TeXperience conference still going on and thus the facilities for the separate developers meeting available. If you decide to do so, don't forget to check staying one day longer for TeXperience, while registering to the 4th ConTeXt Meeting: http://meeting.contextgarden.net/2010/ Hans, Jano, Pavel & Taco

audit of commands
by Idris Samawi Hamid ادريس سماوي ح امد 11 May '10

11 May '10

Dear gangsters, I'm interested in an audit of all current mid-to-high-level mkiv commands, including experimental or undocumented ones. I'm trying to come up with, as much as possible, a set of context commands which is mutually exclusive jointly exhaustive. By 'mutually exlcusive' in this context I mean that I want to identify, for redundant commands, the deprecated commands and use only the current. No point teaching old methods. By 'jointly exhaustive' I mean that i don't want to leave anything out, at least not yet. Some of, eg, the bidi and otf control is undocumented, and I can dig those up. OTOH there are lots of other areas where there may be some commands of interest that only get brought up on the list occasionally... by mid-level I mean commands like \define or other user-friendly non-plain commands that may be used to create mkiv macros etc. Aside from core developers Hans and Taco: Luigi, Wolfgang and Mojca seem to have extensive knowledge of the internals... any ideas how we can do this in an efficient manner? My idea is to organize this list in interesting ways for pedagogical purposes, for the current book project. Again, ONLY MKIV is under consideration; as far as this book project is concerned, only mkiv exists ;-) Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi, On Fri, 07 May 2010 08:04:06 -0600, Marius <mariausol(a)gmail.com> wrote: > Idris, maybe this is what you are looking for: > http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf That list is not complete. For example, in open type we have a lot of fontfeature commands in mkiv only. The sourse is also full of useful goodies -- some very old even -- that often don't get documented or may even be forgotten. It always amazes me how Wolfgang pops up with one of these every now and then... In other areas Hans may have developed a number of other experimental or other commands as well particular to the interests of another set of users. Hence the idea for an audit of mkiv commands.
