+
+The LuaMetaTeX program is a light weight variant of LuaTeX. This program finds its origin
+in parts of TeX (the original program, eTeX (some extensions), pdfTeX (more extensions)
+Aleph (based on Omega, directions) and of course LuaTeX (lots of things).
+
+So, basically we follow up on LuaTeX which itself is a follow up on TeX, eTeX, pdfTeX and
+Aleph. The actual starting point (in 2005) was a special Lua enhanced version of pdfTeX
+by Hartmut Henkel that we experimented with and triggered a follow up. However, the code
+base is no longer Pascal (which then gets converted to C) but regular C code instead. That
+conversion was done by Taco Hoekwater as part of the Oriental TeX project.
+
+There are many articles (presentations and documents) that discuss the development history.
+These articles and documents describing the projects shed more light on what functionality
+showed up when and why. As these projects closely relate to ConTeXt development you can
+find those documents in the ConTeXt distribution.
+
+After this conversion quite some implementation details changed over the decade that
+followed: memory management was adapted, string handling became dynamic, managing the
+table of equivalents was tuned to the mix, callbacks were added. The opening up resulted in
+some adaption of the internals too. Font handling changed, math support for opentype math
+has been introduced. Hyphenation handling, ligature building and kerning are clearly
+separated and language support has been rewritten from scratch. In addition to Lua, the
+TeX engine is also complemented by the MetaPost library. Luigi Scarso added support for
+LuaJIT and ffi and over time makes sure that the code works out okay in the regular
+TeXLive build too.
+
+In 2018-2019 the conversion from LuaTeX to LuaMetaTeX was done by Hans Hagen as part of
+an attempt to simplify the build and get rid of code that might have been useful when we
+started but no longer makes sense. Because the LuaTeX interfaces had to stabelize, this
+follow up also provides us a new testbed. The LuaMetaTeX source code is distributed as
+part of the ConTeXt distribution which is also used for testing and development. Most
+tests are done by those involved in ConTeXt development, so issues should be reported to
+the mailing lists related to this macro package.
+
+In the process the code base has been adapted substantially, although the decade of
+LuaTeX development already prepared for that. This also leads occasionally instable
+setups. We're grateful to ConTeXt community for their patience in testing these continuous
+developments.

+
+Although some code comes from pdfTeX and Aleph, the majority comes from good old TeX and
+eTeX or is completely new. Original TeX is a well documented program written in WEB and

+CREDITS
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+LuaMetaTeX builds upon the code from LuaTeX which comes from:
+
+ tex : Donald Knuth
+ etex : Peter Breitenlohner, Phil Taylor and friends
+
+The expansion and protrusion code is derived from:
+
+ pdftex : Han The Thanh and friends
+
+Some of the bidirectional text flow model is taken from:
+
+ omega : John Plaice and Yannis Haralambous
+ aleph : Giuseppe Bilotta
+
+Graphic support is provided by:
+
+ metapost : John Hobby, Taco Hoekwater, Luigi Scarso, Hans Hagen and friends
+
+All this is opened up with:
+
+ lua : Roberto Ierusalimschy, Waldemar Celes and Luiz Henrique de Figueiredo
+ lpeg : Roberto Ierusalimschy
+
+A few libraries are embedded, of which we mention:
+
+ avl : Richard McGraw (adapted)
+ decnumber : Mike Cowlishaw (IBM)
+ libcerf : Joachim Wuttke (adapted to msvc)
+ md5 : Peter Deutsch (with partial code from pplib libraries)
+ pplib : Paweł Jackowski (with partial code from libraries)
+ sha2 : Aaron D. Gifford (with partial code from pplib libraries)
+ socket : Diego Nehab (partial and adapted)
+ # zlib : Jean-loup Gailly and Mark Adler
+ miniz : Rich Geldreich etc.
+ mimalloc : Daan Leijen (Microsoft Research)
+
+The code base contains more names and references. Some libraries are partially adapted. We
+use an adapted version of the lfs from the Kepler Project. Also, MetaPost used decNumber
+for decimal number mode.
+
+Depending on demand a few optional libraries can be used, for instance curl, imagemagick,
+lz4, lzo, mujs, mysql, sqlite and zint but there are no dependencies and only very limited
+interfaces are provided (ConTeXt provides \LUA\ layers on top).
