Dear binary builders, I would like to request another batch of builds for the recently released LuaTeX and LuaJITTeX 0.78.2. Mojca PS: We fixed the problems with subversion, so there are no longer any problems if you are using client 1.8.5 or 1.9-dev. There is weird bug in Cisco hardware that was causing data loss.

luajittex

Dear builders, for those who started building too early: Luigi also released luajittex in the meantime. Based on my counting it has only been compiled by Dick and Alan for x86_64-darwin and x86_64-linux so far, so I would like to ask everyone else to try a rebuild when you have time (there is no high demand for luajittex, so that's not a high priority). The sparc-solaris and other architectures of darwin don't support building luajittex anyway, or at least they don't support cross-compiling, but we didn't have any i386-darwin user complaint so far anyway. Apart from FreeBSD binaries there are only powerpc-linux and armel-linux missing as far as luatex is concerned, but those two are probably not critical. I also have another request if any of you has time. We had some weird problems with the SVN repository. At first I was able to reproduce the problem. Then I upgraded the repository just in case and the curious thing at the moment is that only Alan is experiencing some weird network problems (on multiple machines and networks) when doing a checkout from http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite-bin/tex/amd64-freebsd. Is anyone else having a problem doing a checkout from that particular directory (or any other directory for that matter)?

Dear binary builders, Taco sent a New Year's gift and some warm-up exercises for your processors. Whenever you have time, please try to run ./do_all.sh from http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries. All the best in the new year, Mojca ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taco Hoekwater Date: Tue, Dec 31, 2013 at 5:09 PM Subject: [dev-context] Luatex 0.78.0 announcement Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.78.0. This release merges some experimental branches, and fixes a few of the outstanding bugs. Changes: * Instead of using expanded fonts, just calculate the expanded width of glyphs where needed, and carry expand info in the glyph nodes (all based on Hans' suggestions). All font expansion functions are disabled and most are removed. * New, faster (but limited) direct node access from lua, see the manual for details * Support for Apple Advanced Typography (AAT) information in fonts is dropped * Extended build script for mingw/msys (includes 64-bit support) * Various patches from/via Akira Kakuta for better Win32 integration * Fixes for some bugs in de pdfscanner library (mostly related to inline images) * Maximum hyphenated word length is now 64Kb characters. * Various patches from Khaled Hosny and Luigi Scarso for the luafontloader subsystem * Fix for a crash when re-dumping formats * Fix for a Selene unicode library bug where some characters in UTF-8 were incorrectly flagged as having the 'Space' property * Some smaller fixes 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-0.78.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, and a happy new year!
