Dear Hans,
I just wanted to ask, will LMTX and MetaFun remain valid implementations of TeX and MetaPost or do we have to expect incompatibilities? It depends on how you define 'valid' ... we're downward compatible ... but LMTX will use features available in luametatex, so when that is the case some code will only be available in LMTX (unless i decide to backport some). Wrr the TeX part: LMTX is mostly MKIV but it might

I expect most users to move on to lmtx anyway at some point. Maybe at some point the existing mkiv will be like mkii: frozen.
