Hi,
We're pleased to announce the first official release of the new math code. We're talking of:
-- a reworked math engine (which happened stepwise so some already trickled into previous uploads)
-- settling on one model for display math but with alignment variants as well as improving inline math (e.g. wrt linebreaks)
-- redoing bit of the (sub) numbering
-- improving the alignment features (the traditional one and the text/page mode one)
-- fixing the math font using all kind of tweaks in the goodie file
-- providing means to annotate formulas
-- we ditched support for \over simply because it is too fragile wrt spacing (one can \usemodule[oldmath] to get it back
-- we might move some more alien stuff to m-oldmath in due time
We paid a lot of attention to details of positioning, sizing and spacing of glyphs. We do have some documents in the making that describe this (some are in the ontarget namespace) and the second half of this year we use for writing a math manual (Mikael) and updating the luametatex manual (Hans). For sure we will run into unforseen issues, come up with additional things and try to please users who have demands. There are 'hidden' features that will be revealed stepwise.
An example of some usage will be posted next.
The pragma-ade.com domain is still in transfer but the nl one should work fine. There is now also a https://www.luametatex.org that might be get some more than there is now (when i find it useful but best to have the domain for the ctx group).
