A few bugs with the web site
by Reuben Thomas 06 Jun '14

0. [Meta-bug]: please make it easier to report bugs with the web site. I had to sign up for this mailing list; many people may not want to merely to report things like: 1. On roadmap.html, "cummunity" → "community" 2. Under "Objectives and Status", roadmap.html talks about already-released versions in the future tense. Please fix this. 3. faq.html: "learned us" should be "taught us" (this changed in English in the last few hundred years, but the web page may predate that change :) ) 4. sponsoring.html: "Thanks to this sponsoring" → "Thanks to this sponsorship" 5. swiglib.html: "Januari" → "January"; "Februari" → "February" 6. languages.html: "persistant" → "persistent"; "openess" → "openness" 7. index.html "projects main" → "project's main"; "as stable an" → "as stable and" -- http://rrt.sc3d.org

luazip core dump

Hi, the script below crashes when the zip file contains at least two files. *** glibc detected *** texlua: double free or corruption (!prev): 0x00000000027d10e0 *** ======= Backtrace: ========= /lib64/libc.so.6(+0x79cf5)[0x7f7a57302cf5] texlua[0x78314f] texlua[0x612481] This happens if opened files in the archive are not closed before the next one is opened. The crash happens at the end of the program if the line os.exit(0) doesn't exist. It seems that os.exit() does some cleanup. Since the program does what it's supposed to do I assume that it's not wrong in general to have more than one file opened at the same time.

luatex documentation
by Reinhard Kotucha 26 May '14

Hi, it seems that pdf.setcatalog is a function now while the allegedly removed pdf.catalog was a string. The LuaTeX manual hasn't been updated in this respect. The manual which is currently in TeX Live refers to version 0.79.0 while TL-pretest provides version 0.79.1. Though it's too late for the TL-DVD, a network update of luatex-doc will be possible at any time after the freeze. BTW, the manual is quite ambiguous. The phrase "The value types are strings..." could mean that pdf.catalog itself is a string or that it's a function whose argument is a string. Curiously, the phrase is valid for both, pdf.catalog and pdf.setcatalog, but there is no way to use these functions without reverse-engineering them. In order to distinguish between functions and strings in the manual it's desirable to attach braces to function names i.e., "pdf.setcatalog()" vs. "pdf.catalog". Otherwise too much has to be explained. The phrase "The preferred interface is now pdf.setcatalog, ..." is also misleading because the old interface had been removed and users have no choice anyway.
