Hi,
Sorry, I keep forgetting to fix the email template to send to
the launchpad instead of to dev-context.
Best wishes,
Taco

Hi,
I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.65.0.
This release mostly fixes a number of bugs, but it also deprecates
a number of existing lua and macro commands. Please read the News
section carefully if you are the current maintainer of a luatex
macro package.
News:
* The Aleph and Omega version primitives are deprecated.
* The Apple Snow Leopard Truetype font collections now work
properly.
* Libpng has been updated to 1.4.4, and zlib to 1.2.5.
* New lua functions node.next() and node.prev().
* The already deprecated for some time node.protrusion_skipable()
function has been removed.
* fontloader.apply_featurefile() and fontloader.apply_afmfile()
now return nil,<errortable> on failure.
* The various node list fields in the lua node interface have
been renamed from 'list' to 'head', e.g. tex.box[0].head,
and the 'list' name is deprecated. For now, the deprecation
is silent, as 'list' will stay for quite some time. Please
update your lua source as soon as possible, though.
* The call node.type(<node>) now returns "node". The existing
functionality is otherwise unchanged.
* Luafilesystem has been updated to 1.5.0. NOTE: there is an
incompatible change in the directory iterator method.
* The restriction on linebreak_filter has been eased: at least one
horizontal box should be returned, but that is not necessarily
the last node any more.
* Backward compatibility has been restored for \meaning\mathchar
* node.first_character() has been renamed to node.first_glyph()
to better match its actual functionality.
* The \Umathaccent primitive now supports both/bottom keywords,
and \Umathbotaccent / \Umathaccents are now deprecated.
* The \Umathaccent primitive now also supports the fixed keyword,
which supports non-growing math accents even if the font says
there are extensible variants.
* Ongoing work on the epdf library.
Bugfixes:
* Assignment to \dimen65535 was broken earlier.
* <box>.head.prev is now always initialized to null (0).
* luatex -lua=<script> '\relax' no longer exits immediately,
instead going into interactive mode as it should.
* The \jobname was initialized wrongly for input file names
with multiple dots in them.
* The synctex file is now written in the right place when
--output-directory is given.
* \letterspacefont could cause crashes, especially when combined
with font expansion.
* Luatex would crash on linux32 systems if it was build in an
environment where LFS (>2GB files) was enabled by default.
* Node lists created by node.copy_list() could not be hyphenated
due to an assertion error.
* Synctex support was partially broken since 0.60.0.
* With OpenType math fonts, accents with multiple parts
(like the \vec arrow) forgot to include all parts if the
accentee was too narrow.
* With OpenType math fonts, accents over any class except 0 and 7
were misplaced.
* kpse.lookup("plain", {all = true}) was broken in kpathsea
itself (no extension given as well as --all specified).
* A FontForge bug made Cambria Math accents look bad, and the
placement of math top accents did not allow a marker at the
origin (patches by Stefan Philipp)
* Cut&Paste from PDF was sometimes broken due to bad ToUnicode map.
* Many small manual improvements (thanks to Paul Isambert)
* An other bugfix to lpeg 0.9 (from Roberto Ierusalimsky)
* Some small fixes to writet1.w (from Han The Thanh)
* A build failure because of bad libz configuration on Win32
