New luatex release, 0.87.0

From NEWS:

================================================== This is a next step upto 0.90 and it has the following changes: - image data is no longer stored in the format (it was fragile anyway) - pdf backend data generated when in ini mode is no longer stored in the format - (incomplete) \mag support removed from pdf backend (this functionality is kept in dvi mode) - there are a couple of improvements that should make luatex run a little bit faster (but of course that depends on the job at hand) - some further pending issues / cleanup has been done (but this is not reflected in the interface) - there is a new primitive \nospace: \nospace=1 do now not inject glue for spaces (not even zero glue) \nospace=2 inject zero glue for spaces - there are new primitives \hpack, \vpack and \tpack that are like \hbox, \vbox and \vtop but they don't trigger callbacks - we no longer keep track of older math character and delimiter definition states, but this should normally go unnoticed - from now on only ^^XX, ^^C, ^^^^XXXX and ^^^^^^XXXXXX are supported so no funny odd values (three and five) - texio.setescape(0) disables escaping to terminal (a matter of taste) - the (current) lc codes are now saved with the (current) language when patterns are loaded unless one hs used \hjcode instead of \lccode; overloading of \hjcodes is possible (but of course goes ahead of hyphenation which is delayed till parbuilding or packaging - active characters can now be set with: \letcharcode123=\foo (experimental) - there are some experimental new primitives but these will be described when they are stable (currently being tested) - there is more backend error reporting and all error messages adn warnings (the non-tex ones) have been normalized - of course there are the usual small fixes and additional setters and getters in libraries (see manual) ================================================== Last minute note: --synctex doesn't work. It will be fixed in the next release. As usual, the archives can be downloaded from supelec: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \ https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.87.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org When you use context or latex you need an updated format. The latest version of context can be fetched from the context garden, latex from ctan. For latex you can contact David and Joseph as they are dealing with the update. Have fun, Hans, Luigi, Taco (in alphabetical order this time)
