Hi, Last friday I uploaded a new snapshot and today I finally finished updating the manual to go with it. The changes all relate to startup, file i/o, and callbacks. The main achievement is: you can now run luatex without it *ever* initializing kpathsea. Because I am lazy, I have checked in the pdf of the manual as well, so that I can say: Please look at https://foundry.supelec.fr/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php/manual/luatexref-t.pdf?root=luatex&rev=148&view=log for all the details. :-) Have fun, Taco ----- Downloading and installation details: If you go to https://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=10 you will see that there are two new released files: * luatex-snapshot-20061013.tar.gz This is the source tree. * luatex-snapshot-20061013-win32.zip A cross-compiled (mingw) windows binary. This is a web2c based binary, so it needs a texmf.cnf file (It will NOT work if you have only miktex installed). This executable cannot run dynamically loaded lua dlls. Perhaps that can be fixed but I do not know how.
