0.65.0:
I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.65.0.
This release mostly fixes a number of bugs, but it also deprecates
a number of existing lua and macro commands. Please read the News
section carefully if you are the current maintainer of a luatex
macro package.
News:
* The Aleph and Omega version primitives are deprecated.
* The Apple Snow Leopard Truetype font collections now work
properly.
* Libpng has been updated to 1.4.4, and zlib to 1.2.5.
* New lua functions node.next() and node.prev().
* The already deprecated for some time node.protrusion_skipable()
function has been removed.
* fontloader.apply_featurefile() and
fontloader.apply_afmfile() now return nil,<errortable> on failure.
* The various node list fields in the lua node interface have
been renamed from 'list' to 'head', e.g. tex.box[0].head,
and the 'list' name is deprecated. For now, the deprecation
is silent, as 'list' will stay for quite some time. Please
update your lua source as soon as possible, though.
* The call node.type(<node>) now returns "node". The existing
functionality is otherwise unchanged.
* Luafilesystem has been updated to 1.5.0. NOTE: there is an
incompatible change in the directory iterator method.
* The restriction on linebreak_filter has been eased: at least one
horizontal box should be returned, but that is not necessarily
the last node any more.
* Backward compatibility has been restored for \meaning\mathchar
* node.first_character() has been renamed to node.first_glyph()
to better match its actual functionality.
* The \Umathaccent primitive now supports both/bottom keywords,
and \Umathbotaccent / \Umathaccents are now deprecated.
* The \Umathaccent primitive now also supports the fixed keyword,
which supports non-growing math accents even if the font says
there are extensible variants.
* Ongoing work on the epdf library.
0.64.0:
I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.64.0.
This is a development release, but it also fixes a few rather
annoying bugs in 0.63.0.
News:
* New lua functions pdf.refobj(), pdf.maxobjnum() and pdf.objtype()
* New lua function node.is_node()
* The max_strings configuration variable's maximum value is
raised to be identical to texlive's maximum (2097151), and
same for param_size (32767).
* The embedded mplib is now 1.503.
* Minor cleanups in the output of fontloader.to_table():
- removed out-of-range altuni's from the output
- don't dump the extra encodings, just the actual font encoding
- export the encoding's name also as 'enc_name' at one level up
- no longer exporting unset macstyles, nor zero uniqueids
- fix creationtime and modification time
* Ongoing work on the epdf library
Bugfixes:
* Fix a bug where an explicit hyphen prevented hyphenation for the
whole rest of the paragraph
* Internal font copying forgot to copy the last font dimen
* os.selfdir() is now documented
* patch quad (\fontdimen6) in \letterspacefont to be compatible
with pdftex
* Multi-page pdf inclusion was very slow in 0.63.0
* Some extra checks added to the handling of glue_spec node
objects in lua code.
* Some node.prev pointers have been corrected (but this is not
quite finished).
* A small fix to lpeg 0.9.
