Ulrike Fischer submitted an update to the
luaotfload
package.
Version number: 2.9 2018-09-24
License type: gpl2
Summary description: OpenType ‘loader’ for Plain TeX and LaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is version 2.9. of the luaotfload package.
On the one side there is not very much new in this version: The native
components of Luaotfload are nearly unchanged. A
few bugs have been corrected, the various files lists which loads the
components of the font loader have been cleaned
up.
On the other side there is a lot new:
* The fontloader files imported from context have been updated to the current
version.
This was necessary to make Luaotfload compatible with the coming luatex
1.08/1.09. Compared to the previous version
from february 2017 quite a number of things have changed. Most importantly
the handling of arabic fonts has greatly
improved. But this also means that changes in the output are possible.
* The update of the fontloader files also required an update of the Lualibs
package. This Luaotfload version needs
version 2.6 of Lualibs.
* As the current maintainer wasn't available and it was urgent to get a
Luaotfload compatible with luatex 1.08/1.09
maintenance has been transferred to Ulrike Fischer and Marcel Krüger. The
package is currently maintained and
developed at https://github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload (but this will probably
change in the near feature). Issues
should be reported there.
