Dear Hans, The problem I described in my previous message comes indeed from \defineexpansion which is not defined. Upon commenting out the lines 95--98 in the file « hand-ini.mkxl » that is the four lines: \defineexpansion [\c!step=1, \c!stretch=40, \c!shrink=20] I could remake the format with version 2019.12.05 18:59. Then lmtx works fine as far as my files are concerned, but I don't know if there are side effects… (However, once the format is made, if I uncomment those lines then lmtx works fine, but clearly one cannot make again the format) Best regards: OK

Hi Hans,

Thanks for the new features and the new release. I could download the new installer for MacOS which installs the latest version but it cannot make the formats ending with the error message which I copy below.

The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined.

Hi,

I uploaded a new lmtx beta. Hopefully the installer works ok as I redid some of the "zip" related code (simpler, smaller binary too). FWIW, the luametatex codebase is now pretty close to okay, but of course there can be bugs, but nothing thay can't be solved fast.

Given some earlier discussions on the list, I wonder about running context in containers and (behind the screens) web applications. Is there anything needed, mostly in the support scripts I guess, that can make that more comfortable / efficient / etc?

You Luametatex binary is too old which missed the new \adjustspacingstep command shown in the error message from your previous mail. Wolfgang

Is this too old? Is this file created during installation or is it contained in the zip files downloaded from Pragma's site? Ok, I think that there is some issue with the builder. Mojca, it looks
