Hi all, we have put beta-0.95.0 on the luatex svn already from while, but the tag is not frozen because: 1) Hans is working on the manual, 2) I keep source/ in sync with TeXLive (kpathsea files etc ), 3) we fix bugs, of course --- the building process not always goes well on every the platforms that we support. The initial plan was to put 0.90.0 for TeXLive, but now we are pretty confident that 0.95.0 is ok, and we have no plan to touch the codebase in source/ (bug fixing apart). (@Karl: I can keep Master/texmf-dist/doc/luatex/base in sync, if it's ok for you) For those that build from source: A. Kakuto keeps the TeXLive repo aligned with the luatex repo, assuring that the windows binaries are ok. It's clear that, having two repos with the same program, is a bit hard to decide which program is the latest one, so when I import from TeXLive in the commit message I specify the revision (e.g. "sync with TL rev. 40299." ); in the luatex repo, trunk and tags/beta-0.95.0 are always aligned, always first trunk and immediately after beta-0.95.0. I found more simple to have both the repos (texlive and luatex) on my machine, but it's my choice. Unfortunately currently the contextgarden server has some problems, and perhaps not all context users have the latest luatex --- not a big problen, we are working on this. The formal announcement of Luatex 0.95.0 very likely will be when the TeXLive is frozen. around 4may. -- luigi
