Thank you very much for providing the instructions, Mikael! Unfortunately

...

1) get the files

svn checkout --username anonsvn --password anonsvn https://serveur-svn.lri.fr/svn/modhel/luatex/branches/experimental/

does not work on MacOS (which I am using). Can someone tell me which command I need to use at MacOS (current version)?

Can someone tell me how I can download the source of LuaTeX 1.0.5 and compile it on MacOS? Mikael wrote me instructions for Linux that did not work for MacOS. Thanks in advance!

/Mathias

PS: In the meantime I have read the thread https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2017/088747.html and seen that LuaTeX 1.0.5 is contained in the garden version on Windows. On my Windows machine everything regarding primes works really fine. Since LuaTeX 1.0.5 is not yet contained in the MacOS version I get the described bugs there. Does someone know when will LuaTeX 1.0.5 be officially released for MacOS?

...

2) compile:

step into the folder experimental and run build.sh

3) copy the luatex binary to a place where it is found

I chose to replace the one from garden, and it seems to work.

Good luck!

the alternative is that i waste time again and again on getting something to work for all fonts and all combinations which leads to a mess that i then need to maintain without any gain At first: Thank you very much for your work! so, i decided to follow a route that works for most fonts / cases and not some messy hybrid solution (and i don't want a different setup or bag of tricks for each font that is out there as that is a long term no-go) But I have to contradict you here: It has nothing to do with special or hybrid fonts. The problem persists at present (using the LuaTeX version that is shipped with the Garden version) in /all/ fonts. The primes are not rendered as they should in /any/ font I tried out. As Mikael told me, you optimised the code for LuaTeX 1.05 which seems to be terminated September this year. But until then the output of primes will be not correct. I have no possibility to switch back to the current (non-beta) version of ConTeXt, because this version contains the bugs with primes you have already resolved.

there will probably be a 1.0.5 one of these days (also for other reasons) but Mojca has to configure the garden compile farm

Okay, that would be great. But could you tell me how I can get the files and compile them? Mikael did write me instructions that work for Linux, but I am on MacOS. My problem would be solved if I could get the source and compile LuaTeX 1.05 on my own on MacOS. :-)

...

...

This means that ConTeXt is not usable for me until LuaTeX 1.05 will be released or until I am able to compile the source of LuaTeX 1.05 on my own. Some of the latest betas (the version one or two weeks ago) did solve all problems regarding primes. The problem I am referring to rose up in the most recent betas. As Mikael told me, this is because you introduced new code to work with LuaTeX 1.05. This is very nice, but because this version is not yet released, this decision is questionable, since this makes ConTeXt unusable until this release (if you need primes). So I appreciate your hard work, but I would be nice to have a version that runs with the current LuaTeX version of the beta of ConTeXt (or alternatively it would be nice if instructions are provided to compile the source of LuaTeX for every OS that can be used simply).

then just use old versions and then accept the bugs and limitations in those versions

How can I get the beta of last week or the week before? In those betas you have not yet included the new code (for use with LuaTeX 1.05) and everything worked really fine. The --context=current garden version has several bugs regarding primes you have solved in the mentioned betas. So it would make no sense at all to use this version. I would need one of the older betas or the most recent one with LuaTeX 1.05.

...

...

And (to repeat myself) the problem has nothing to do with special fonts of hybrid version or whatever. You get the problem using standard Latin Modern or any font else. Simply try latin modern has all kind of issues ... and it's inconsistent with cambria, other gyre fonts etc ... in a decade of luatex and open type math fonts i captured a lot of font issues in runtiem fixes but that will always give side effects

so, i can fix somethign for you with lm and then someone else complains about lucida etc etc

I am not using Latin Modern. I only mentioned that because I wanted to stress that I am not referring to exotic fonts. (I totally agree on you regarding Latin Modern; I think Cambria should be the reference since this font is the font that established the opentype math standard.) In fact I am using Minion Math (which is a really stunning font) or Stix 2. There had been no problems in those fonts with primes in the betas of the last weeks. And as Mikeal suggests the problems are resolved if I could use LuaTeX 1.05.

So in fact the only thing I am complaining about is that everything worked one or two betas ago until it is „broken“ in the newest beta since this one seems to be based on code that requires LuaTeX 1.05 (which makes sense of course since this will be the upcoming release) that is not shipped alongside the beta. So I am not able to understand why code is provided in the beta that requires a LuaTeX version that is not shipped alongside (and especially in view of the fact that we had a perfectly working beta regarding primes last week; this means I think it would have been a great idea to wait including the newest code for primes that requires LuaTeX 1.05 until LuaTeX 1.05 is shipped with the beta too). :-)

...

as i explained before, primes are a mess conceptually .. not a real character and not a proper superscript candidate either so when one corrects for one aspect one has to fight the other

also, we have unicode and therefore multiple primes are one character

i simply have no time (nor motivation) to spend days on some temporary solution that will be complained about also and discarded a while later anyway

I perfectly understand that. And every work regarding primes is done, as I think. But one way to make us of it would be to use the beta of last week (or maybe the week before) or the most recent one together with LuaTeX 1.05. But I have no idea how to make use of that ways. :-)

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.

i'm somewhat puzzled by timestamps as i can compile here on my machine (which has a rather limited linux box)

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.

well, maybe, but then we end up with lots of small-step version numbers which is not what we like (in fact, a tag is ok for tex live but we might want to test a precursor on the garden with context first as we can fix context issues quite fast)

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. we use trunk (and therefore the garden) for testing too, so it's okay wrt version numbers (if needed we can distinguish builds with status.develooment_id) and we can at some point also use the revision number (which in the past was not used properly) .. also, normally a garden beta (+bins) is a working combination

anyway, once the bot works ok we can hapilly move forward Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Okay. Does that mean that there is not yet a version for MacOS? If I am right I cannot find files for MacOS at your link above. Then I will wait and typeset my files on Windows until the new version is released.

Please try to update the ConTeXt distribution now. Mojca

I'm waiting for Luigi to fix the problem. I have cross compiled latest trunk for osx without problem, it's not a problem with timestamps. Be sure to have freetype-config icu-config, as I have said several times they are prerequisite for the configure machinery (not for luatex itself).
