[NTG-context] LuaTeX 1.18.0
The upcoming version 1.18.0 has some changes that are not compatible with previous versions but should only apply in kpse mode: 1) the debug library is disabled; can be enabled with --luadebug 2) os.rename os.remove and lfs library functions are checked from kpse to see if the path is legal I'm sure some packages that use debug won't work without --luadebug at least.

Hi all, the ml has (as always as far as I can remember) the limit of 100KB for the maximum size of the message. I have noticed that lately several messages are over the limit, and all I can do is write to the sender and discard the message, and this could happen a couple of days later the message has been received.

[NTG-context] Luatex 1.17.0 announcement.
(Sorry for the delay, I wanted to be sure that building phase was over) == LuaTeX 1.17.0 2023-04-29 == - A breaking backward compatibility change: by default the socket library is not enabled . The new option --socket enable the socket library as before, as also --shell-escape (without --shell-restricted); --nosocket, --no-socket , --safer disabled the library, and they have the priority in case of conflicting options. The mime library is always available; socket.sleep and socket.gettime are duplicated as os.socketsleep and os.socketgettime, both always available. The new os.kpsepopen replace io.popopen in kpse mode (i.e. when kpse_init is not zero) as it was before but the permission now cannot be changed anymore with kpse.check_permission . The function os.kpsepopen follows the same restrictions as io.popen .

aren't they sorted by the tag ?
By default the synonim is the tag; only the first one has an explicit tag
(OTT)
so the order is ABC, OTT, ZXY, which looks ok.

lua_getiuservalue is in lua 5.4 API, luatex is lua 5.3.6 API
but in any case you should compile against the luatex headers, not the
stock lua 5.3.6.
I don't know lpeglabel, but luatex has the lpeg embedded and perhaps it can
clash with the library.

greedy vs non-greedy is one of the things that I always keep in mind when I
start with lpeg, and regularly I fail to apply -- because I think in the
"perl regex way".
Anyway,
http://www.gammon.com.au/lpeg
has some good lines:
e.g. this one (from the lpeg site) find the pattern anywhere in the line:
function anywhere (p)
return lpeg.P { p + 1 * lpeg.V(1) }
end
print (lpeg.match (anywhere ("dog"), target))

@ Incidentally, if the given cubics intersect more than once, the process
just sketched will not necessarily find the lexicographically smallest pair
$(t_1,t_2)$. The solution actually obtained will be smallest in ``shuffled
order''; i.e., if $t_1=(.a_1a_2\ldots a_{16})_2$ and
$t_2=(.b_1b_2\ldots b_{16})_2$, then we will minimize
$a_1b_1a_2b_2\ldots a_{16}b_{16}$, not
$a_1a_2\ldots a_{16}b_1b_2\ldots b_{16}$.
Shuffled order agrees with lexicographic order if all pairs of solutions
$(t_1,t_2)$ and $(t_1',t_2')$ have the property that $t_1___

Another example is
\directlua{token.set_macro("foo","\medskip")}\show\foo
which gives the error: invalid escape sequence near '"^^Kskip \m'.
vs
\directlua{token.set_macro("foo",[==[\medskip]==])}\show\foo
which gives
\foo=macro:
->\vskip \medskipamount .
Your example:
\directlua{token.set_macro("foo","\string\\,")}\show\foo
gives

0x593765a8: 92 '\\' 44 ',' 0 '\000'
(gdb) p lstr

\directlua{token.set_macro("foo",[==[\,]==])}\show\foo

I always start with [==[ ... ]==] ie
\directlua{token.set_macro(-1, [==[foo]==],[==[\string\\,]==])}
gdb reports this [==[\string\\,]==] string as
","
which is an array of char of length 3 ie {'\\','\\',','}
With \directlua{token.set_macro(-1, [==[foo]==],"\string\\,")}
gdb reports "\\,"
ie {'\\','\,'}
I always check which one is the correct one...
