Hi, There is a new version of luatex and mkiv. You need to update them together. The best place to get them is the contextgarden (which will probably have the new versions pretty soon). This release of is rather substantial: no longer is metaposts called, but mplib is used instead. This bring down metapost runtime and conversion to nearly zero. The user interface is the same, but the implementation is different. Tomorrow (or so) taco will make releasenotes.
