Re: [Dev-luatex] What is the current lfs version?

We can obtain the current lfs version by running

luatex '\directlua{tex.write(lfs._VERSION)}\bye' && open texput.pdf

also luatex --fmt=plain '\directlua{print(lfs._VERSION);}\bye'|grep LuaFileSystem (if grep is available ) Then we must remove texput.pdf and texput.log.

This is a bit cumbersome.

It would be great if this information could be in the credits:

luatex --credits luajittex --credits

we have several lua libs (lfs, socket, lpeg md5 ...); you can always make a script -- ver.lua print(lfs._VERSION) $>luatex --luaonly ver.lua

BTW, is lfs 1.8 planned in forthcoming? (1.7 does not play with windows very well)

hm could be. -- luigi
