+ Changes in the luatexbase package/bundle
+
+2013/05/04 v0.6
+ all
+ - move away from the module() function (deprecated in Lua 5.2)
+ attr
+ - hack to make luatexbase and luatex.sty compatible for attribute
+ allocation (same thing should be done for catcodetables)
+ - adding whatsit nodes allocation functions (see doc)
+ modutils
+ - adding functions to check the availability and version of a module
+ - fixing small error in module date requirement
+ - update documentation to reflect the move from module()
+ loader
+ - do not output included file paths when called by texlua
+ mcb
+ - passing most of the term output to the log
+
+2013/04/13 v0.5
+ all
+ - input luatex.sty before doing anything, as luatex.sty
+ breaks if loaded after luatexbase
+ mcb and loader
+ - compatibility with Lua 5.2 (LuaTeX >= 0.74)
+ loader
+ - fix an important bug making the kpse lua loader never used,
+ it should make package searching a bit faster.
+ - dropping support for LuaTeX < 0.45.
+ - small improvement to make x.y.lua look for x/y.lua, not
+ x/y/lua.
+ modutils
+ - fixing a bug printing "luatexbase-attr" in all documents
+ in plain TeX
+
+2011/00/24 v0.4
+ cctb
+ - implement catcode table stacks à la luatex.sty
+ - fix \CatcodeTableLaTeX(Package): 10 (newline aka ^^J) was catcoded
+ 15 instead of 12
+ - rename \setcatcoderange to \SetCatcodeRange (the old name remains
+ for compatibility but will be removed in the next version)
+ luatex 0.5
+ - new package replacing luatex.sty from the oberdiek bundle
+ (see luatex.pdf for details)
+
+2011/05/21 v0.31
+ attr
+ - Bugfix: \unsetluatexattribute didn't work (reported by Dohyun Kim)
+
+2010/10/10 v0.3
+ [BI] marks backward-incompatible changes
+ all not using LuaTeX results in an error (formerly a warning)
+ modutils
+ - [BI] \luatexUseModule and \luatexRequireModule replaced by
+ \RequireLuaModule with a unified syntax.
+ - [BI] luatexbase.use_module removed (use luatexbase.require_module with
+ a single argument instead).
+ - [BI] luatexbase.module_term removed.
+ - [BI] removed support for version check using a floating point
+ number, only date is supported now.
+ - module_{error,warning,info,log} now apply string.format
+ automatically
+ - date, version and description are now optional.
+ - improved formatting of messages.
+ - luatexbase.require_module now returns curstom err/war/inf functions.
+ mcb
+ - [BI] rationalise "list"-type callbacks handling. The new calling
+ convention differs from the old one only in edge cases.
+ - add user documentation
+ - misc code tuning (more locals, etc)
+
+2010/10/04
+ - various documentation updates/fixes uploaded to CTAN
+ - luatexbase.sty used to be broken on CTAN (bad docstrip)
+
+2010/05/27 v0.2a
+ attr
+ - allocate from 1 to avoid problems with some external code
+ - provide a Lua interface: new_attribute() and unset_attribute().
+ modutils
+ - fix bug with module require_module()-ed many times.
+ luatexbase
+ - new, loads: compat,loader,regs,attr,cctb.
+
+[BI] Summary of backwards-incompatible interface changes between 0.1 and 0.2:
+ - Lua objects are now in table luatexbase, not luatextra.
+ - Lua tables tex.attributenumber and tex.catcodetablenumber are not
+ created any more, use their couterparts in luatexbase.
+ - \luatexsetcatcoderange has been renamed to \setcatcoderange.
+ - luamcallbacks has been renamed; Lua objects are now in luatexbase,
+ no more in callback.* or luamcallbacks.*
+ - module error/warning etc now apply string.format to the arguments.
+
+2010/05/12 v0.2
+ all
