Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.42.0. NOTE: This snapshot is just for testing the new sources and the updated build process, do NOT trust this binary for production work! There is a whole lot of work done on the luatex internals since the previous beta, and just judging by the amount of work done it seems likely that there will be a few serious bugs remaining. There are two big internal changes. Both changes are invisible to the user, but definately worth mentioning: * There is no pascal (web) code in luatex at all anymore, everything is now converted into plain C and split over about 50 source files. Later, this code will be converted back to CWEB (almost all comments have been kept) but first we want to spend a few months reorganizing the code base. * The PDF backend has been reorganized a lot, and most of the global variables are not put into a single backend structure. Work in this area is not complete, but getting there. The other newsworthy changes are: * There is a new node.tail() function * lua-loaded fonts now support a 'nomath' key to speed up loading the lua table. * A bugfix in the ttf reader for the inclusion backend, and (also in the backend) support for treating ttc files by pretending they are single ttf fonts (both patches from pdftex) * Add Khaled Hosny's man page to the repository * The \pdfcompresslevel is now effectively fixed as soon as output to the pdf file has occurred. * Patched status.filename so that it (nearly) always returns a file name. * fix '\the\delcode' and disable '\the\odelcode', '\the\Udelcode', and '\the\Udelcodenum' * Handle jfifs where either xres or yres is 0 and the other res is != 0 (from pdftex) * The single-argument version of lang.hyphenate() was broken. * Get rid of the \directlua/\latelua number warning. * The Lua coroutine patch (coco) is now disabled on linux powerpc architectures (because it caused crashes) * Removed obsolete pdftex primitives: \pdfoptionalwaysusepdfpagebox \pdfoptionpdfinclusionerrorlevel \pdfforcepagebox \pdfmovechars * The loading speed of large fonts (especially ttf) via the fontloader library, and the inclusion speed for subsetting in the backend have both been improved. * The 'pdf' lua library has been enhanced with various new functions, see the manual for details. * BLT and BRT glyph position fixed. * Various fixes for synctex offsets. * Support for exotic font string encodings has been removed from the fontloader library. * The embedded MPlib is now 1.205. * libpng is now 1.2.38.
