So I am simply asking: How can I use older betas or how can I get the source of LuaTeX 1.05 on a Mac and compile it?
Mojca is setting up the build bots so one of these days there will be binaries.
You can fetch it from here: http://dl.contextgarden.net/build/luatex/ (those binaries should end up in minimals very soon). But on Mac we are currently experiencing some build problems on existing machines, most likely due to some problems with outdated timestamps of generated files. I'm waiting for Luigi to fix the problem. But aside from that. If you (developers, not users) want to call one version of LuaTeX 1.05, you should tag a version 1.05. Increasing the version numbers in trunk and skipping any official releases is a pretty bad development practice. Usually you would put experimental features to trunk and whatever you want to end up at users to tags or potentially stable maintained branches that get bugfixes. Mojca
