There are no real functional changed expected. You still need to rename +the binary for 5.3! + +(3) Binary mode is no longer available in MPlib but it is still available in +stand alone MetaPost. This simplifies compilation and reduces dependencies. + +(4) The dependency on Poppler for pdf image inclusion has been removed. We +now use a small dedicated library written by Pawel Jakowski. We no longer +need c++ compilers. We're in the process of making it behave well on all +platforms. It has been tested on intel platforms. + +(5) We know that there can be some (alignment) issues with the arm platform +but these are looked into. Therefore, later this year we will release 1.09. +Version 1.10 is planned for TeXlive. We hope that ffi works ok on intel and +arm platforms at that point. + +(6) There have been some extensions to the Lua libraries and some callbacks +have been added. Also, a few new primitives have been introduced. The +documentation mentions the stable extensions. + +(7) There are the usual bug fixes and cleanups but there have been no real +fundamental changes in the API. + + + + ============================================================== LuaTeX 1.07 2018-01-17 ============================================================== -- GitLab
