Changes in the luatexbase package/bundle
2013/11/29 v0.7
mcb
- minor changes and more coherent behaviour
- refreshing the list of callbacks
- add two functions is_active_callback() and
callback_descriptions()
2013/05/11 v0.6
all
- move away from the module() function (deprecated in Lua 5.2)
- attr, loader and cctb now use provides_module
attr
- hack to make luatexbase and luatex.sty compatible for attribute
allocation (same thing should be done for catcodetables)
- adding user-defined whatsit node 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
2011/05/24 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.
