Hi all,
After more than a decade of mkiv and luatex it's time to move on to a
new stage. After all, nowadays a ten-year old program is considered to
be really old, especially for those who consider a manual typeset three
years ago as an indication of lack of progress. Therefore: welcome to
lua(meta)tex 2.00 and context lmtx, the follow up on luatex and mkiv, if
you dare. It has many deep-down changes but aims to be a simple evolution.
The average user will probably not notice many differences but
nevertheless, when you are in for something new, you can give it a try:

Of course you should keep your current installation too. We're sure that
there will be issues so when you run into unexpected surprises, you can
blame us (and fall-back on the current Context beta and luatex). Of
course with the proper mwe's (tex, metapost, lua, or a combination of
these) we will try to solve them all, we have been testing. In due time
more about this project will be revealed.

Hi Hans,
Thanks for the link to the code. A quick install suggests that a 'hello
world' is working nicely from ConTeXt. However, if I try what you might
expect from me
luametatex --ini latex.ltx
things go a bit wrong:
This is LuaMetaTeX, Version 2.00.0 (INITEX)
! error: (system): missing find_write_file callback
(I also notice there is no plain-like format for testing, or at least
that just "luametatex" yields an error.)
Clearly things work for ConTeXt, so there must be some early Lua magic
or similar required. Any thoughts? (I don't get a .log or any other output.)
