MKIV/LuaTeX roadmap

MKIV/LuaTeX roadmap

[Santy, Michael]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 366 bytes --]


I've been following the MKIV developments on the list, but don't have a good feeling for the overall stability/robustness/completeness of the new code.

Can someone who has the high-level insight (Hans, Taco?) please add a page to the wiki that gives the community a general roadmap for new features and an eventual MKIV/LuaTeX stable release?

Thanks,
Mike

hard to answer

- fonts: much done (for non latin there's work to do)
- graphics: work in progress, mostly done
- metapost: work in progress, available soon
- enhancements: ongoing effort
- xml: basics done, more will follow
- math: work needed

i use mkiv in a couple of projects (automated xml -> pdf editing 
workflows) so it's usable
