-Installation
-------------
-
-Here are the recommended installation methods (preferred first).
-
-1. If you are using TeX Live 2010 or later, use 'tlmgr install luatexbase'.
- If your are using MiKTeX, use the MiKTeX Package Manager.
- Alternatively, try you Linux distribution's package management system.
-
-2. a. Grab the sources from CTAN or github.
- b. Run 'make install TEXMFROOT=/path/to/texmf'.
- (Warning: 'make install' without giving a TEXMFROOT will
- put files in './texmf', which is probably not what you want.)
- c. See 2c.
-
+NOTE
+----
+This repository contains the **Original** implementation of luatexbase.
+It is kept here for the record and for checking compatibility of
+newer implementations.
+
+Most of the functionality is now provided in the core LaTeX format
+(releases from 2015/10/01) or, for plain TeX, in the file ltuatex.tex.
+
+A luatexbase package based on the new ltluatex code providing the
+luatexbase interfaces is available from ctan and with development
+sources at
+https://github.com/josephwright/ltluatexsupp
