Hi,
at the risk of sounding rude or impatient: I'd love to know when new releases of luatex and ConTeXt mkiv can be expected. The latest luatex trunk has some problems (no ligatures, hyphenation flaky) and doesn't work with some of my fonts. Latest ConTeXt beta only works with trunk of luatex. Hans mentioned some fundamental changes in luatex, so I was just wondering.
later this week there will be a new beta

What will a luatex based Context do for us that the current stable Context doesn't?
open type to start with, robustly grouped features, better and more robust spacing some day soon, more efficient and flexible xml, a new sectioning implementation, instant metapost processing (next year), and much more; eventually fundamental new features will only be written for luatex and pdftex (traditional tex) will be frozen.

In my further exploration I came across another product, toally unrelated, dealing with spreadsheets. with the name of luatex. Is the name luatex a trademark? Lua is apparently.
