> Do you get the same error, David?

Yes see ltnews.pdf :-)

as from the October release lualatex has stopped prefixing command names
with "luatex" so uses the same names as plain and context until the package
is updated you can simply alias the old name, I had the following in the
test file. lines 1 and 2 are needed for the 2015/10/01 release, actually
I'm using luatex 0.87 and latex 2016/01/01 and further adjustments are
needed for that (you can find luatex85.sty on github, but it's unstable and
not needed unless you have luatex 0.87 builds which are not aimed at
general use until texlive 2016 later in the year)


\RequirePackage{luatex85}
\let\luatexpardir\pardir
\let\luatextextdir\textdir
\documentclass[english,hebrew]{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX]{FreeSans}
\setsansfont[Ligatures=TeX]{FreeSans}
\setmonofont{FreeSans}

\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setdefaultlanguage{hebrew}
\setotherlanguage{english}
