Luatex beta 0.31 update warning

Luatex beta 0.31 update warning

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hi all,

Quick warning from me: if you update from the minimals this week,
be prepared for some potential problems with opentype fonts in
luatex. Because of the update of the embedded fontforge, there are
some differences in the font table format that Hans and I have yet
to sort out.

While that will not take long, it will still mean the beginning
of next week at the earliest (because Hans is teaching in Brno).

Best wishes,
Taco

No problem. LuaTeX did not compile on most platforms anyway, so it
couldn't have affected too many people :) :) :)
(We only have the linux & freebsd binary there; in case of serious
problems it's no problem to revert back to the old version of LuaTeX
for those two platforms as well.)
