I was wondering, since luatex is not a direct replacement of pdftex, omega or aleph, what is the point of having such primitives? Wouldn't it be more cleaner of they are removed or is there any use for them?

pdftexversion pdftexrevision

OmegaVersion

AlephVersion Alephminorversion Alephrevision Alephversion Omegaminorversion Omegarevision Omegaversion

eTeXVersion eTeXminorversion eTeXrevision eTeXversion

Macros that use these primitives (e.g. pdftex.def) will still work.

Yes, but is that safe, i.e. is it safe to blindly treat luatex as pdftex vXX or etex vXX? Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
