Commenting TeX code
by TeXWorld 05 Apr '09

05 Apr '09

Hello, Lua has the following mechanisms to comment codes: -- and --[[ --]]. TeX has % but does not have something like %[[ %]]. It could be useful for one line code. Jack

Affiliation change
by Taco Hoekwater 02 Apr '09

Hello everybody, This message is to inform you all that as of today, I am no longer an employee of Elvenkind BV, the company where I have worked for during the past years. Working for Elvenkind has been a pleasure, but it has always been hard for Elvenkind to find enough commercial projects to employ me in. Even the recent (much appreciated!) funded TeX-development projects simply do not generate enough revenue for Elvenkind to make it viable to keep me as an employee in the current economic climate. This is not the best time to be out of a job, but nevertheless I have decided to try to make the most of it an attempt to make an old dream happen: being my own boss. Since quite some time already I have had a private company called Bittext that I use for various bits and pieces that simply did not fit in with Elvenkind's company strategy (its original intent was to place my font development work in that company, but it has also been used as the company behind organizing the ConTeXt Epen meeting in 2007, for example). For the development of luatex and metapost, I do not expect that much to change compared to the current situation: Hans and I will continue to write funding proposals and we hope that enough of those will be granted so that I can keep that development work going much like it is. (about a 50% commitment working on these two programs in an average working week). However, for ConTeXT and other TeX-related things, the situation is a bit more problematic. Pragma ADE does not have money to fund any projects, even if I managed to find something to excite Hans that he couldn't do faster himself ;). To find the missing source of income, I intend to start giving commercial ConTeXt courses and I plan to start selling manuals via lulu. Perhaps there is a bit of consultancy that can be found as well, and I will try to regain some of my old mathematical typesetting clients. But I fear that even all of that together will generate enough income for me to continue developing modules and offering help for free. Therefore, the planned bib module replacement will be released as commercial software, and support for other ConTeXT stuff (like the current bib module) will become a paid service. Probably via a subscription website, that will (for example) also host my release notes. I am brooding on other ConTeXt module ideas that people may be willing to pay for, and I will finish the font projects that are still on my disk for sale via my website. This April (until around BachoTeX) I will still be busy preparing the luatex and metapost binaries for the TeXlive 2009 deadline, but after that I will likely drop offline for a while, creating the Bittext website ( http://www.bittext.com ) and figuring out things like how to be on the receiving end of Lulu and PayPal. Well, that is about all I wanted to say right now. I am quite apprehensive about how this news will fall in the ConTeXT community, but I see no other way. And I must admit that at the same time I am quite excited about being "in control of my own destiny", as they say! Best wishes to all of you, Taco

LuaJIT?
by Mohamed Bana 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi guys, has anyone luatex working with luajit? so far i've only managed to get to compile a 32bit version under ubuntu 64 bit - /luajit hasn't been ported to a 64 bit yet/. Currently the interpreter works. here's the difference in speed between standard lua and the jit version; http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32q/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all&box=1, and generally; http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/. In summary; I'd just like to know how much roughly how much effort is required and If anyone has looked into it. Mohamed

luatex beta 0.37.0
by Taco Hoekwater 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Hi, I have just uploaded luatex 0.37.0. This is a beta in the process towards 0.40.0, the version that will be included in texlive 2009. This beta will be shortlived, the plan is to release the next one in about a week. This release is mainly intended to allow testing of two new things: * The new build process, which is based on the one that will be used for texlive 2009. Lots of build-time stuff is overhauled, and that means that the binary itself as well as the build process needs testing. Please try on your system and let us know if something goes amiss. * The new shell_escape = 'p' functionality invented by Karl and Akira. Karl wrote about that: > As I've mentioned to some of you, Akira and I have been implemented a > restricted version of \write18: only commands which are explicitly > listed in texmf.cnf can be executed. Along with sufficient quoting, I > think that this is secure enough that it can be enabled by default, and > I plan to do this for TeX Live 2009. The texmf.cnf variable for 'acceptable commands' is named shell_escape_commands. In luatex, the variables shell_escape and shell_escape_commands will be fetched from the texconfig table in case of a disabled kpathsea (as context mkiv does). The important thing to note is that if you are typesetting a document with luatex (as opposed to executing a texlua script), these variables now also effect the os.execute(), io.popen(), os.exec() and os.spawn() functions. Unless a non-false value of shell_escape has been read from either texmf.cnf or the texconfig table, these functions will not do anything anymore. Nothing has changed for the case where luatex is used as a script interpreter. ============================================================== Luatex beta-0.37.0 was released 20090331 (commit #2194) ============================================================== * Luatex now implements shell_escape = 'p', a new feature in web2c that intends to make \write18 more secure. * Attributes can now have negative values. The special value for 'unset' is lowered to -0x7FFFFFFF (it used to be -1). * The lua 'kpse' library now has an object-oriented interface as companion to the procedural interface. This is useful for e.g. controlling the discovery of mplib files. * The new internal integer parameter \outputbox allows setting of the output box number (default: 255, max: 65535) * The new primitives \Udelimiterunder and \Udelimiterover complete the set of 'StretchStacks' for OpenType Math. * Fixed a bug in font string conversions on the Macintosh that resulted in warnings about 'unaligned pointers being freed'. * Khaled Hosny spotted a bunch of manual errors. * There was bug in the width of math_accent objects when there were super- or subscripts attached to the accentee. * In PDF mode, TRT \leaders were bugged. * The source tree now uses the new texlive build system that Peter Breitenlohner created. * There is now a single build.sh instead of four separate ones. It has a few options: --make : only make, no make distclean; configure --parallel : make -j 2 -l 3.0 --nostrip : do not strip binary --mingw : crosscompile for mingw32 from i386-linux --ppc : crosscompile for ppc osx on intel osx Note: --parallel still sometimes causes crashes due to timing errors, so use that option with care. * Many compiler warnings have been removed (but not all yet). The archives (now including source again) can be downloaded from supelec as usual: http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co svn://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.37.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco
