Hi,

I uploaded a beta release. The biggest change is that image inclusion in mkiv has changed. Currently it's still some mix of tex and lua code, and the backend code is somewhat messy (and not complete yet) but it's a first step towards lua doing things. This will only work with a e recent luatex.

The advantage is that file searching in lua is more robust (and when many search paths are used, also faster). Image conversion has been moved to lua too, but currently still uses pdftops (also for svg) but that may move to lua as well. Figure libraries are supported by default now.

I testes just a few short examples and noticed the following things:

1. XeTeX has two problems with the greep pattern files (lang-agr.pat).
