<br>
After some ten years of development and testing, today we have released<br>
LuaTeX 1.0.0! Instead of staying below one and ending up with versions<br>
like 0.99.1234, we decided that the moment is there to show the TeX<br>
audience that LuaTeX is stable enough to loose its beta status. Although<br>
functionality has evolved and sometimes been replaced, we have been using<br>
LuaTeX in production right from the start. Of course there are bugs<br>
and for sure we will fix them.<br>
<br>
Our main objective is to provide a variant of TeX that permits user<br>
extensions without the need to adapt the inner workings. We did add a few<br>
things here and there but they mostly relate to opening up the inner parts<br>
and/or the wish to influence some hard coded behaviour. Via Lua we managed<br>
to support modern functionality without bloating the code or adding more<br>
and more dependencies on foreign code. In the process a stable and flexible<br>
MetaPost library became part of the engine.<br>
<br>
The functionality as present now will stay. We might open up some more<br>
parts, we will stepwise clean up the code base while staying as close as<br>
possible to the Knuthian original, we will try to document bits and pieces.<br>
We might also experiment a bit with better isolation of the backend, and<br>
simplify some internals. For that we might use the experimental version<br>
but if we divert too much we may need to give that another name.<br>
<br>
We want to thank all those who have tested the betas and helped to make<br>
LuaTeX better.<br>
