20070619 is definately faster than 20070426. In fact, it is generally faster than Aleph at Aleph things (because I fixed the memory leak that made both progressively slower). It is a some 20-30% percent slower than pdftex at doing pdftex things, but that has been true from the start and AFAICS, it is caused more by the extra work done by the Omega code than by anything else.

Sounds like something long overdue. I could imagine that this could be an area relevant for profiling, though.

I doubt you can gain much. One of the reasons why this snapshot took such a long time to come about, was exactly because of extensive profiling and refactoring. Once LuaTeX is 'up to steam' (after one or two text pages), memory (de)allocation is basically controlled by a dozen dedicated avail lists.

Thanks (now I just need to get my working copy updated without that No route to host: Can't connect to host 'scm.foundry.supelec.fr': No route to host message),

"No route to host" sounds like a local network error on your side. It resolves nicely over here, and the IP address is 193.48.224.170 Good luck, Taco

Taco, What David is experiencing doesnt look like local issue on his side because I also lost anonymous access to svn repository. "svn checkout svn://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex" stopped working recently (on my side it just hangs forever) "svn checkout https://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex" seems to work but requires user and password. What command, user id , and pass should be used for anonymous access ? Kind regards, Igor On Jun 19, 2007, at 11:50 AM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

2007/6/21, Taco Hoekwater :

There were problems with the svnserve configuration as well, but these are now fixed, so this syntax should once again work correctly:

svn checkout svn://scm.foundry.supelec.fr/luatex

Works perfectly, thanks. But who is this "no author" guy? :-)

LANG=C svn log -r496
