Dear binary builders,
Luigi made sure that you won't get bored. You are welcome to rebuild
the binaries for LuaTeX once again. I hope that problems that surfaced
for 0.79.2 are resolved now.
Thank you,
Mojca

Subject: [luatex] Luatex 0.79.3 announcement
==============================================================
Luatex beta-0.79.3 was released 20150121 (5130)
==============================================================
* It's now possible with the MinGW compilers to build luatex and
luajittex as DLL
for Windows 32bit/64bit. The files are:
libkpathsea-6.dll luajittex.exe luatex.exe texlua52.dll texluajit.dll
In the next release the build.sh script be updated; for the moment just add
"--enable-shared -disable-native-texlive-build " after --disable-all-pkgs
in TL_MAKE.
Building as DLL was tested only for Windows.
* When possibile symbols in the exe are now hidden:
this should avoid conflicts with the loading of dynamic shared object.
* several bugfixes and improvements. The patches for MetaPost
fix seg. faults occourred with wrong inputs.
The functions:
mp_get_numeric_value, mp_get_string_value, mp_get_boolean_value
works if the value is a variable (i.e. not an internal variable,
a loop variable and a macro argument);
only mp_get_numeric_value now has support for loop variable
and internal variable (but still not for macro arguments).
We plan 0.80 for TL, with
integration of the tokenlib branch,
cleanup and bugs fix.
We will also test lua 5.3, but we are not sure that it will part
of the next TL .
The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual:

You could also check out the sources via anonymous svn:

Have fun,
