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 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: luigi scarso <luigi.scarso(a)gmail.com> Date: Wed, Jan 21, 2015 at 5:09 PM 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: 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-0.79.3 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Hans, Taco, Luigi

Test results were extremely gratifying It works, and boy, were we surprised! The design will be finalized... We haven't started yet, but we've got to say something.

A number of different approaches... We don't know where we're going, but we're moving.

MetaPost 1.999 announcement
by Taco Hoekwater 09 Apr '14

09 Apr '14

I am happy to announce a new (and my final) release of MetaPost: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetaPost 1.999 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the pre-release for Metapost 2.000. The only functional difference between this version and 1.901 is the addition of the 'binary' numbersystem. This version will *not* be included in TL2014, for two reasons: * integration of the required GMP & MPFR libraries into the texlive build system is not trivial, and is better postponed until after the current TL release. * Not a lot of testing has been done yet. A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/ You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout: $ svn checkout --username anonsvn https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.999 The password is anonsvn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is new in MetaPost version 1.999: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * The numbersystem 'binary' is now operational. For the last time from me: Have fun! Taco Hoekwater, for the MetaPost team, April 9, 2014

I am happy to announce a new release of MetaPost: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MetaPost 1.901 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is still the release for TeX Live 2014, just adding some bug fixes. A source archive can be downloaded from the files section at https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/metapost/ You can also do an anonymous subversion checkout: $ svn checkout --username anonsvn https://foundry.supelec.fr/svn/metapost/tags/1.901 The password is anonsvn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What is new in MetaPost version 1.901: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- * Fixed a bug in 'decimal' mode that affected (among other things) the directionpoint and bbox calculations. * Fixed a bug in 'decimal' mode calculation of sine / cosine that affected the precision of the answer in situations where 'numberprecision' was less than 34. * Updated the number parsing in 'decimal' mode to detect 'too precise' input and optionally generate an error in that case (depends on 'warningcheck') * Fixed a bug in the svg output where it could crash in 'decimal' mode. * Fixed a bug in the png output where it could get confused if there was more than one text label * Fixed a bug in the png output for stroked paths Have fun!

Dear builders, Luckily almost nobody attempted to build 0.79.0 yet, so there are some processor cycles spared. Here's a new version of LuaTeX released by Taco waiting to be built. It includes two minor patches. I changed the building scripts again, so please update the SVN checkout of http://svn.contextgarden.net/suite/build-binaries again, possibly double-check my recent changes and use with some precaution. Thank you, Mojca ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> Date: Sat, Mar 29, 2014 at 10:01 AM Subject: [Dev-luatex] Luatex 0.79.1 announcement Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.79.1. Changes: * Fixed a bug that caused crashes if pdf.info was not set. * The top-level build scripts have been merged again, use build.sh --jit to build luajittex as well as luatex itself 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-0.79.1 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco

Hello everyone, Taco just released a new version of LuaTeX, so feel free to submit your builds whenever you have time (Dick, I'm behind a virtual machine, so no need to worry about mac binaries). IMPORTANT: please update the building scripts in SVN prior to running ./do_all.sh. I changed the system a bit, so that now luajittex builds from the same repository as luatex and also stores the binaries to the same folder. Please also use the scripts with some care and understanding. There is a fair chance that I made mistakes or syntax errors when adapting the code, so please let me know if you discover something suspicious (feel free to check the differences with "svn diff"). (I manually applied the latest trivial patch from trunk, so that lua(jit)tex builds at all.) Mojca ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Taco Hoekwater <taco(a)elvenkind.com> Date: Fri, Mar 28, 2014 at 4:43 PM Hi, I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.79.0. This fixes a few of the outstanding bugs, and is the version that will be included in TeXLive 2014. Changes: * The luafontloader now returns 'tsidebearing' glyph values for OT/TT fonts, if applicable. * new lua variables: stats.luatex_hashtype, stats.luatex_hashchars, stats.lastluaerrorstring; the luajittex string hash method is now lua 5.1 compliant which gives better results for similar strings * new lua functions: tex.init_rand(), tex.uniform_rand(), tex.normal_rand(), tex.lua_math_randomseed(), tex.lua_math_random(), tex.show_context(); these helpers make luatex and luajittex compatible * In the lua node interface, there were often issues with rubbish in (especially) 'prev' fields because luatex itself never looks at those values. This is now cleaned up to prevent weird stuff happening inside lua node processing code. * pdf.pageattributes, pdf.pagesattributes, pdf.info, pdf.catalog, pdf.names and pdf.trailer now behave consistent and can be used to add these properties at the lua end in addition to their \pdf* counterparts atthe tex end; there are now pdf.get* and pdf.set* commands for them too (in future versions the old ways can become obsolete) * new accessors pdf.geth, pdfgetv, pdfgetpos, getgetmatrix as well as pdfhasmatrix helpers (in future versions the direct pdf.h and pdf.v accessor can become obsolete) * the pdf.pdf* variables have been removed (they were already obsolete for some years) * a new properties mechanism for associating lua tables with nodes that get cleaned up when nodes a freed (see manual for details) * several improvements to the way temporary (backend) data is stored at the lua end (better protection, more consistent) * a 'l' type for user nodes that holds a lua variable (can be set at the lua end) * if a late lua node is set at the lua end the string value can be a function as well which is then executed during serialization to the backend stream * Various small speedups * Various smallish fixes to the node direct interface * LPeg is now at version 0.12 * Some small fixes to the CFF (font) parsing * Font file inclusion reporting messages on the terminal now comply to the texconfig.trace_file_names setting * Removed some of the additional luafontloader.info() return information that was added in 0.78.2, but could not work properly. * new primitive \luafunction (see manual), with associated lua.get_functions_table() function * lua error message reporting has been altered a bit to make the distinction between \directlua and other lua source code sources clearer * Additional pdf document data functionality in the 'pdf' table has been cleaned up internally * Additional pdf destination names can now be set via lua. * New callbacks: finish_pdfpage, show_error_message, show_lua_error_hook, start_file, stop_file * Handling of \tracinglostchars is fixed * Embedded metapost library version is now 1.900 * luajittex is now included in the distribution. One can use buildjit.sh to build both luatex and luajittex, where supported by the platform * Synchronization with the TeXLive sources updated the following libraries: * libpng is now 1.6.10 * poppler is now 0.25.2 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-0.79.0 Bugs and feature requests can be added to the issue tracker at http://tracker.luatex.org Have fun, Taco
