Hi all, I have just pushed the beta-0.85.0 on the svn server. Please compile, test and report any problem. As usual, the new beta is "cold" but not "frozen", so we can still fixed something. It would be nice to have the binaries (at least) for osx, linux, windows and freebsd in the garden, so we will wait for them before the formal announcement. Hans, Taco, Luigi (in this order :-) )

Of course Hans has found a bug with tikz...fixed in rev. 5554 (which means that another build is necessary, sorry ) -- luigi

Hi,
I built and committed binaries for linux and freebsd, 64bit and 32bit.

It looks like the sources contained r5551 when you synced, so according to Luigi you will most likely need to repeat the process :( The mac binaries are being compiled right now thanks to Hans. Mojca

$ luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.85.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev) (rev 5550) rev 5550 is hardcoded, ie it doesn't strictly depends on the current rev. of beta. Given that the only source for beta is tags/beta-0.85.0 in the end this "(rev 5550)" is "just a number". When we will announce the beta, the code will be frozen in the svn, and of course it is associated with a revision number too, which usually is greater. So, to keep the things simple, we fix the rev. to that one of the trunk and we tolerate a bit of delta. The most important things in the banner are "/dev", which means not from a stable TeXLive and "(rev. 5550)" which means that it's a beta, ie frozen. For example, for trunk we have $ luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.85.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev) and for TEXLive 2015 # luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.80.0 (TeX Live 2015) (rev 5238) i.e. "stable TL, code from beta frozen" which is the what we tend to do. If there is a patch to commit after the announcement, then we will make 0.85.0.1 (or 0.85.1, it depends if we also add something new o rewrite something) because as I hev said, after an announcement the code of a beta is frozen. -- luigi

OK Luigi,
but wouldn't it be simple to "hardcode" the real revision number string
into the source automatically?

On the server I run texk/web2c/luatexdir/getluatexsvnversion.sh which correctly sets the version in texk/web2c/luatexdir/luatex_svnversion.h but there seems to be texk/web2c/luatexdir/luatex.c:int luatex_svn = 5550; that most probably overrides the other value. I don't particularly like the current solution. Mojca

Of course... I was waiting for the garden to sync the updated sources.
Now done, but please note that something is funny with the revision numbers
(is this a problem with the luatex source that does not encode its own revision number correctly?)
$ cat src/VERSIONS
metapost: 1.999
xetex: 0.9999.3
luatex: beta-0.85.0 r5554
luatex_trunk: r5553
$ bin/amd64-freebsd/luatex/luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.85.0 (TeX Live 2016/dev) (rev 5550)

done for armel-linux (hopefully it was the latest version)
Thank you. This completes the cycle. The only binaries we are missing now are armhf-linux (which I can make with my raspberry). I keep forgetting the difference all the time and we don't properly support distinction between them. We should probably have some short explanation about the difference on the TeX Live page and we should improve the detection code in the future. Mojca
