Hi all,

At the context meeting we presented (and discussed) the state of lu= atex and
released 1.08 as a= prelude to 1.09. Today we announce version 1.09.

We are gradually entering into a "bug fix / no more features"
mode. The goal is to have the= beginning of "stable" luatex 1.10 for
next texlive 2019, and in our minds "stable"= ; means "in the long term
like pdftex".

In practice this means tha= t luatex comes with lua 5.3.4, that
luajittex uses luajit 2.1 beta3, and that context will assume and = support
this setup for a lo= ng time. This also means that we will keep the lua
5.3.4 API. Issues with luajitex will be solved when= ever it is
possible, but we= expect that some platforms will not have luajittex
and=C2=A0 this is nothing new, as it already happe= ns in texlive.

By going stable we also hope that = those using the lua interfaces will
not be catched by surprises. The internals are predictable enough = for
that.

We have a new pdf parser (pplib from Pawe=C5=82 Jackowski) that re= places
poppler.=C2=A0 It is= much smaller, a bit faster and it's written in pure C

actively testing it but a= ppreciate testing from "power users" (like
