Is version 1.08 to be released or only the Windows platform contains the latest stable binaries for LuaTeX? only after tex live has been frozen (tag 1.07) we will officially move to 1.08 (then trunk)
windows always has the edge as Akira compiles the latest greatest too so that permits experiments (he also always tests it so that helps us a lot)
don't expect support for experimental versions on this mailing list as we feel free to change whatever we like
(fwiw: we don't expect huge functionality changes .. the biggest change coming is lua 5.3 which can have a few consequences for those writing lua as well as a 5-10 % performance boost)
Many thanks for your reply, Hans. I understand now why Windows always has the edge versions ;-). Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
