pandoc stopped rendering italics in pdf

[maxigas]

hi,

i used pandoc 1.13.2 happily on a Debian sid but today it stopped
rendering italics from pandoc-markdown syntax to pdf. i was using
lualatex and tried xelatex engine instead, with the same results. any
ideas what can effect this? it must have been a slightly related package
that was updated, but i have no clue which one could it have been.

i tried the Debian package that is in repository, but that is broken,
and i tried the stack install method from source, which also failed (and
took up gigabytes of space). i am on not on 64 bit and there are no
32bit packages released for pandoc. any ideas?

$ pandoc --standalone --latex-engine lualatex -o foo.pdf
--csl=/home/maxigas/foo.csl --bibliography=/home/maxigas/foo.bib foo.mkd

$ pandoc -v

There is a bug in the fontspec release 2.5c.
It is known and will be fixed soon.

You can re-install an older version with tlmgr or TeX Live Utility if you keep backups.

Or put `\let\emph\textit` at the top of your document.
