Dear builders, I'm soon going to add XeTeX back to the list of sources/binaries to faciliate testing of some major changes. The binaries will be uploaded to TLContrib. I need to adapt the scripts first and will let you know as soon as it gets ready. Mojca

I use gcc 4.5.2 I'm clueless at the moment and my gut feeling says that it's not the compiler, rather some header that gets included and shouldn't. But I may be totally off with that. Marco

Fwd: Luatex 0.75.0 announcement

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.75.0. Most noticeable changes: * New expandable primitive \Uchar. * Metapost 1.790. * New version of lnodelib.c with speedups by Hans and Luigi. Also added some extra sanity checks to the Lua node field setting functions. * Support 'umath' in tex.extraprimitives(), so that formats can make the \Umath* primitives unprefixed, now that they will be provided by XeTeX as well. * Removed a bunch of deprecated primitives * \AlephVersion, \Alephrevision, \Alephversion, \Alephminorversion * \OmegaVersion, \Omegarevision, \Omegaversion, \Omegaminorversion * \omathcode, \odelcode, \omathchardef, \omathchar, \omathaccent, \odelimiter, \oradical * \Umathbotaccent, \Umathaccents * Fix large file support. * Fix Lua's loadfile(). * Removed the cidmap callbacks again (let that be done by user lua code after the fact). * Removed the fatal error on fonts where num_glyphs is too high, as that problem is actually harmless. * Some compilation issues under Win32 and Solaris resolved. NOTE: You still need an 'installed' pkg-config while building luatex. Either install pkg-config for your platform, or make sure there is a binary linking to /bin/true while configuring. The requirement is for the executable 'pkg-config' itself, not for any particular package. * Allow math extender objects to be zero width. * The 'epdf' library has been extended to deal with finding and saving embedded files (catalog:numEmbeddedFiles() and catalog: embeddedFile, new EmbFile object). The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual: https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex/ You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn: svn co --username anonsvn --password anonsvn \ https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/luatex/tags/beta-0.75.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco
