Luatex 1.07.0 announcement
by luigi scarso 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

============================================================== LuaTeX 1.07 2018-01-17 ============================================================== (1) This release brings Lua 5.3 to LuaTeX. We have tested an experimental version for a few months and not encountered issues. (2) If you use Lua 5.3 you should be aware of a few changes in the language and its implementation. Numbers are now either integers or floats but are cast automatically. (3) In some cases (e.g. string.format) there is a more strict check. A float always has a decimal appended when serialized, so 1 becomes 1.0 as string. (4) We keep supporting the bit32 library on top of the new bit operators. Be aware of the fact that currently LuajitTeX does not have these operators. (5) Performance of LuaTeX with Lua 5.3 can be slightly better than with 5.2 but this really depends on your usage of Lua. In practice there should be no slowdown. (6) We are aware of possible substantial slowdown of string.format depending on the platform and compiler. This depends on Lua too and will be resolved in due time. (7) If you want to test with Lua 5.3 then have to build LuaTeX with --lua53. Because ConTeXt will switch to 5.3 after this release there will be binaries available at the ConTeXt garden. (8) The 2018 TeXlive distribution will ship with LuaTeX using Lua 5.2 but there will likely be an additional binary LuaTeX53 available. (9) From 2019 TeXlive will ship with LuaTeX and Lua 5.3 as default. We provide --lua52 as build flag for a while. By then we might be looking at Lua 5.4 already. (10) There are the usual patches and cleanups and a few small additions (mentioned in the manual) but there have been no fundamental changes in the API (apart from removing depricated and undocumented functionality).

goto reference
by Hans van der Meer 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

I have the following question about referencing. With \goto{typeset_the_text}[url(file://a_file_location_to_goto <file:///a_file_location_to_goto>.pdf)] I can open a pdf from inside the document that has been typeset. It would, however, be nice if I could further specify on which page of the pdf to open. Is this possible? Or is this a wish not to be fulfilled? dr. Hans van der Meer

problem with character entities in XML processing
by Hans van der Meer 19 Apr '18

19 Apr '18

The following use of character entities & aborts in ConTeXt. That is of course because the # is seen as a parameter. Changing this to &\#xxx; or &\letterhash xxx; typesets & as is, but that is not the intention, because an ampersand should appear. So, how do I proceed here? Minimal example: % test character entity failure. \startxmlsetups demo:entity \xmlsetsetup{#1}{root}{demo:entity:*} \stopxmlsetups \xmlregisterdocumentsetup{demo}{demo:entity} \startxmlsetups demo:entity:root \blank Start test:\crlf root: <amp> = "&"\crlf root: <number> = "&\letterhash 038;”\crlf % &\#038; produces the same End test\blank \stopxmlsetups \startbuffer[demo] <root></root> \stopbuffer \starttext \currentdate-\currenttime\quad\ConTeXt-version=\contextversion\blank {\bf Testing use of character entities}\blank These should produce the same result: \type{&} and \type{&}\blank \xmlprocessbuffer{demo}{demo}{}\blank \stoptext dr.

issues with \typesetbuffer

Hans, I have the following sample: \setuppapersize[A5][A4, landscape] \setuparranging[2SIDE] \setuplayout [backspace=0pt, topspace=0pt, width=middle, height=middle, location=middle, header=0pt, footer=0pt] \setupinteractionscreen[option=paper, copies=5] \startbuffer[a] \showframe \setuppapersize[A5] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout[width=middle] \starttext \mbox{}\vfill \startalign[middle] \dontleavehmode \framedtext[width=10cm, align={lohi, center}, foregroundstyle=\ssbfb] {Just \tex{typesetbuffer}} \stopalign\vfill \stoptext \stopbuffer \startbuffer[b] \showframe \setuppapersize[A5] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout[width=middle] \starttext \mbox{}\vfill \startalign[middle] \dontleavehmode \framedtext[width=10cm, align={lohi, center}, foregroundstyle=\ssbfb] {Just another \tex{typesetbuffer}} \stopalign\vfill \stoptext \stopbuffer \startbuffer[c] \showframe \setuppapersize[A5] \setuppagenumbering[location=] \setuplayout[width=middle] \starttext \mbox{}\vfill \startalign[middle] \dontleavehmode \framedtext[width=10cm, align={lohi, center}, foregroundstyle=\ssbfb] {And even another \tex{typesetbuffer}} \stopalign\vfill \stoptext \stopbuffer \starttext \startmakeup[standard][style=\ssbfb, align=middle] Just an empty page. \stopmakeup \typesetbuffer[a] \typesetbuffer[b] \typesetbuffer[c] \stoptext It contains three buffers. In 2013 (https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2013/075894.html) you implemented a method to avoid renewed \typesetbuffer compilation, if buffer and PDF document hadn’t been changed (by ckeching their MD5 checksums) and PDF document has been generated. Now \typesetbuffer compiles the document every time the main document is compiled (no matter whether the buffer or the PDF document haven’t been modified). Also the same fonts were embedded only once (as far as I can remember) and now they are embedded multiple times. Could you check the issues? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

columnset + floats = bad
by Henri Menke 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Dear list, I wanted to make a conference poster in ConTeXt MKIV using the newcolumnsets. However, when I use floats weird shit is happening. Is this intended or am I doing something seriously wrong? MWE below, output of latest beta attached.
