Later, Élie Roux wrote \pk{luatextra} which reprised many +% features of \pk{luatex} with little extensions to some of them and added +% independant low-level features (currently found in the \pk{modutils} and +% \pk{mcb} subpackages), as well as user-level things. Later, \pk{luatexbase} +% was created by Manuel Pégourié-Gonnard by isolating the general low-level +% features of \pk{luatextra}, and later expanding on them. +% +% For some time there was two conflicting packages controling access to +% \luatex's resources: \pk{luatex} and \pk{luatexbase}, neither of which was a +% subset of the other, and with small differences in their overlapping parts +% (mainly macro names). +% +% Then \pk{luatexbase} was expanded by absorbing the features of \pk{luatex} +% that were previously missing (essentially the advanced scheme for catcode +% table management). It currently provides the \pk{luatex} package as a +% wrapper around the relevant subpackages, so that the two are no longer in +% conflict. +% % \section{Implementation} % % \begin{macrocode} |
