Hello,
Hans sent me a patch to fix behaviour of the latest LuaTeX (that I still need to test). Should we wait? Should we patch the otf files and switch to the latest luatex? (linux-ppc and solaris would lag behind until we get the new binaries, but that doesn't seem too critical)
Should I wait for the "big package" of changes?
the big package of changes will not come next week since it involves quite a lot (best do an alpha for that)
On the other hand: I'm still looking for a better way to deal with such incompatibilities.
normally luatex/mkiv can be in sync but it just happens that i do a lot of code rewrit eright now (probably the one with the biggest impact) and it cannot be done in a small-step way
- There is a way to switch to an older ConTeXt, but that doesn't really help since LuaTeX changes too fast. - There is experimental branch that is not fully functional (but could be made functional, I'm only not sure what binaries to commit there). Some ideas or discussions would be welcome. - One could misuse a different server or a different subdomain to put "more experimental stuff" there and then only sync if there have been no problems observed for more than three days - One could put the whole texmf-whatever tree with all the modules under version control; one looses the possibility to choose modules, but at least the option to roll back in time would be there
