Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.66.0. This release has ongoing work on the 'epdf' lua interface by Hartmut (and that interface now has documentation as well). Besides that, the release fixes a number of the bugs that have been reported over the past months (mostly the smaller/easier ones). Luatex 0.66.0 will be the last release in the 0.6X series. The next release will be luatex 0.70.0;that will be the version on texlive 2011. Expect no major differences there either, the tracker has just a few items remaining for 0.70.0. Over the last half year, I personally have been much too busy with MetaPost to do any real work on luatex, hence the somewhat disappointing amount of feature progress. I have uploaded the 0.66.0 base package to tlcontrib as well, but please give the builders a few days to create actual platform- specific binaries.
