I did install the new experimental version, both using the .zip file or 
the installer.
None provides scripts!! At least I didn't find them!

My Lua script opens 3 sub windows (if necessary) in the log area, one 
for warnings, one for errors and one for badboxes.
In each any .tex file in a "project" is listed before the errors/bad 
boxes/warnings arising from it.
But the version is still 0.1r424!!

Would it be possible to have instructions on how to use, develop, 
implement,... scripts?
