@TeXnician very brave!

David Carlisle

@TeXnician perhaps finally we will get a proper implementation:-)

@DavidCarlisle pgf broke the interfaces package (unmaintained since 2011 ...) by using \scantokens.

Joseph Wright

@UlrikeFischer Yay!

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer the error message had \scantokens written all over it but I didn't bother tracing last night:-)

@JosephWright github/fix-interfaces......

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle yes same with me.

@DavidCarlisle The main things that broke are imho all the redefinitions of internal pgfkeys commands so some public tikz/pgf developer is needed here ...

David Carlisle

8:01 AM

@UlrikeFischer or as I think I saw you comment under the question, just declare the interface package as not working, and move on....

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle much better idea.

David Carlisle

8:15 AM

Another question answered by not using one of my packages...

Ulrike Fischer

8:33 AM

Did anyone get a luaotfload update with texlive?

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer I have an up to date tl, what version do you expect? by the way vvv

 %% FIXME  The date is meaningless, we need to find a way to
    %%        use the git revision instead.
    [2018/10/28 v.2.93  OpenType layout system]

@UlrikeFischer couldn't l3build fill that in now....

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle I expect Lua module: luaotfload-main 2019-05-18 2.97 in a log. Where is the FIXMe from?

David Carlisle

@UlrikeFischer luaotfload.sty

@UlrikeFischer -main.lua has

local ProvidesLuaModule = {
    name          = "luaotfload-main",
    version       = "2.96",       --TAGVERSION
    date          = "2019-02-14", --TAGDATE

Ulrike Fischer

@DavidCarlisle oh, looks as if the tagging is missing this. Will check.

@DavidCarlisle I will write to the texlive list. lualibs came on sunday, but luaotfload seems to be lost.

Ulrike Fischer

9:16 AM

@DavidCarlisle found the error, a period too much ... But I'm a bit disappointed that Petra didn't complain.

David Carlisle

10:05 AM

@UlrikeFischer I have lots of complaints from Petra in my mail archive that I could forward if you feel you are missing out

Ulrike Fischer

10:44 AM

@DavidCarlisle second hand complaints ;-(

Ulrike regarding the missing update in tl, what kind of hello doc do we need to trigger that information?

Sorry my bad, too used to look in the console log.

Ulrike Fischer

@daleif every document compiled with lualatex is fine, as it shows the version of luaotfload-main. But the update is really missing, it should now say 2019-05-18 2.97.

daleif

@UlrikeFischer seems so, the Danish mirror is usually quite fast with its updates once they are running again after a new TL release.

I'm assuming that since luaotfload is an internal component in lualatex, that is why it never shows up under \filelist

Ulrike Fischer

11:36 AM

@daleif lua files aren't shown anyway, but I added everywhere the module messages, so at least the log is rather clear now.

1 hour later…

I don't know why, but I wrote a parser that translates \romaji{niku} into にく the last night. Does anybody know whether such thing already exists in LaTeX? (I know there is kanaparser for LuaTeX, but only found out by chance when I entered texdoc kana)

Oh, and \romaji{TABERU} translates to タベル (guess what that means in English)
