Hi, The last few days there have been reports about garbled files in the lmtx installation so I did some test oinon a linux machine and indeed there was some issue (I'm not sure what causes it). Anyway, I made new zips so maybe one needs to reinstall (using the installer zip). It installs okay on wsl so probably also on other linuxes. This version (luametatex 2.03.3) has (again) a little smaller mem footprint as I still want it all to perforem ok on relative small devices or vm's and as side effect a bit smaller format file, not that that matters much (compared to general mem usage). There is not much to gain anyway, in terms of memory usage and performance so it's more an occasional challenge than a neccessity I guess. Anyway, hopefully nothing got broken. Peter Rolf and I are updating some of the pdf validation related stuff (additional formats), so that can be in flux.

Hi Hans, Thank you for the new beta. I tested a few things and they work nicely as expected. However I would like to ask you to put back into lmtx the nice error messages handling we had in early November: now when there is an error it is impossible to locate it and the file filename-status.html contains nothing (though the colored « error » pdf produced is nice looking…). In early November the error messages were very precise and the file filename-status.html was very helpful. There is also an issue in lmtx (since the version 2019.12.06, including the latest) where in some situations using \startitemize... \stopitemize produces some garbled items and some numbered items completely disappear. I could not make a minimal example, but I can send you the PDF which shows the issue. Many thanks, and best regards: OK

Actually I did the update with a new install.sh downloaded from Pragma's site, but in fact I got again the older version 2019.12.06 21:40… So the issues I was reporting concern 2019.12.06 21:40 version.

Thank you Hans. I've just generated a monograph I'm setting with your
new linux-64 zip. Everything seems just fine, great.
Best, Richard

Hans, I’m afraid that attachments in MkXL aren’t attached to the PDF document (using latest beta from 2019.12.12 13:15). \setuppapersize[A5] \showframe \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupinteractionscreen[option=attachment] \starttext a\attachment[file=xml-mkiv.pdf] \stoptext BTW, if I try to compile this with MkIV beta from 2019.12.12 13:04, I get a crash with the following error: ..56f32e/formats/luatex/lpdf-ini-macro.lua:965: pdf.obj(): no "string" or "file" given Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hans, many thanks for your ultra-fast fix in beta from 2019.12.12 19:35.
BTW, if I try to compile this with MkIV beta from 2019.12.12 13:04, I get a crash with the following error:
Many thanks also for this fix. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
