Change History -------------- 2016/04/21, luaotfload v2.7: * Rework lookup chaining. * Combining glyphs from different fonts (``combo: ...`` requests). * Glyph fallbacks. * Latest fontloader code. * Adapt packaging to changed upstream file layout. * Remove support for builtin Fontforge libraries (this includes the PFA, PFB, DFONT, and feature file readers). * Allow configuration of anonymous lookups. 2015/12/09, luaotfload v2.6 * Add ``sign`` target to makefile for automated package signing. * Add ``--dumpconf`` option to luaotfload-tool for generating configuration files. * Move fontloader files to subtree src/fontloader. * New script ``mkimport`` facilitates maintainance of code imported from Context. * Revised letterspacing, now utilizing the ``node.direct`` interface. * Revized colorization of fonts, utilizing ``node.direct`` (Dohyun Kim). * Colorization was moved to the ``post_linebreak_filter`` stage. * Move remaining functionality from ``luaotfload-override`` into initialization. * Write names index if fonts were removed. * Separate module loading from initialization. * Custom fontloader package with the files from Lualibs removed. * Swappable fontloader via configuration option. * Lualibs are now a dependency when used in a TeX run as well. * Respect interword spaces when letterspacing. 2014/07/13, luaotfload v2.5 * Remove legacy code. * Remove compatibility with the old mkluatexfontdb script. * Remove test directory. Use https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests instead. * Remove luaotfload.lua from luaotfload.dtx; it is now a separate file luaotfload-main.lua. * Standard source tree structure: the code is now located in the ./doc, ./scripts, ./src, ./build, and ./misc directories. * Move the heavier LPEG parsers from luaotfload-features (syntax) and luaotfload-database (fontconfig) into the new file luaotfload-parsers.lua. * Move logging routines from luaotfload-override in to luaotfload-log. * Scan local font files (``--local`` flag to luaotfload-tool, flag ``scan_local`` during TeX run). * Add bisection mode (``--bisect``) to luaotfload-tool. * Add functions for accessing the database: ``aux.font_index()`` and ``aux.read_font_index()``. * Distinguish XDG configuration paths (Reuben Thomas) * Optional configuration via rc files. * Configure default features via configuration file. 2013/12/31, luaotfload v2.4 * Additional self-tests, now in separate file (luaotfload-diagnostics.lua) * Better path and directory handling, especially on Windows * database now indexes Type1 fonts (PFA, PFB) and makes them accessible with style modifiers (requires --format=+pfa,pfb option to luaotfload-tool) * Test runner (script mktests) * New luaotfload-tool option: ``--no-reload`` * ``luaotfload-tool --find`` now understands request syntax * text (Lua script) version of the font index is filtered through gzip by default, the ``--no-compress`` option of luaotfload-tool will prevent this * rename ``luaotfload-merged.lua`` (the fontloader package from Context) to ``luaotfload-fontloader.lua`` * Treat arguments of the ``letterspace`` option as percentages; add ``kernfactor`` option that behaves as before. * Remove imported version of typo-krn.lua. Xetex-style per-font letterspacing is now the canonical method. * Merge functionality from extralibs (fake Context layer) into luaotfload-letterspace.lua as it is only needed there anyways. 2013/07/10, luaotfload v2.3a * Detect LuaJIT interpreter (LuaJITTeX) * Self-test functionality for luaotfload-tool.lua (option ``--diagnose``) 2013/07/03, luaotfload v2.3: * New experimental lookups: ``kpse`` (kpathsea), ``my`` (callback) * Precedence of texmf over system fonts can be requested using the ``--prefer-texmf`` option of luaotfload-tool * Resolve file names to full paths at later stage * Rewrite the output of ``\fontname`` via ``patch_font`` callback * Allow blacklisting directories * Drop compatibility layer * Remove dependency on luaotfload-lib-dir (references to dir.glob() and dir.mkdirs()) * luaotfload-tool now displays extensive information about a font if given the argument --inspect 2013/05/20, luaotfload v2.2: * There is now a central, non-personal dev repo on github: https://github.com/lualatex/luaotfload * Synchronisation with ConTeXt from TeXLive 2013, inducing backward-incompatible changes in the font structure. A backward-compatibility layer has been added for the current versions of fontspec, unicode-math and microtype, but it should disapear in a future version. * Synchronisation with ConTeXt is now easier and can be done by just updating luaotfload-merged.lua (<= luatex-fonts-merged.lua from the LuaTeX-Plain format) * Improved and extended documentation * Font filenames are stored in the database (file: lookups more efficient) * Optional caching of name: lookups (uses separate cache file) * Rewriting and increased fidelity of XeTeX emulation * Renaming mkluatexfontdb into luaotfload-tool (the old behavior is kept if the script is symlinked or renamed mkluatexfontdb) * Added options to luaotfload-tool for simple database queries * Logging facilities have been rewritten and allow for more granularity * All files have been renamed, abandoning cryptic acronyms; also the new prefix is "luaotfload" (<= "otfl") * The Adobe Glyph List (font-age.lua) is now built via script (mkglyphlist) * Hans adapted the font loader to several of our requests (attribute allocation, custom merged package name etc.) * Auxiliary functions for package authors * Man page for luaotfload-tool * Unsupported v1.3 codebase is included in the luaotfload-*lua files. Crude, but effective way to support older Luatex binaries * implemented basic cache control/stats option for luaotfload-tool * Character list is generated from char-def.lua (mkcharacters) 2013/04/27, luaotfload v1.3: * blacklisting lingoes.ttf (segfaults) * unblacklisting ttc fonts (warning: may break LuaTeX < 0.65) * fixing font cache file name with non-ascii characters 2013/04/25, luaotfload v1.29: * Reverting the unified resolver, as the database was rebuilt too often which made the compilation longer.
