Hi,

I have just uploaded the archives for a new luatex release, 0.74.0.

Most noticeable changes:

* Lua 5.2
  There are no patches to the core Lua files; a future version
  of luatex will switch to loading the regular lua 5.2 dynamic
  library instead of depending on a statically compiled
  one.

  NOTE: This change can break some of your lua files, as the
  language has changed a little between versions 5.1 and 5.2

* A bleeding-edge version of luasocket is included, as there
  is no 5.2-compatible official release yet.

* A new lua extension is the two-argument version of
  string.dump from Luajit:

    string.dump(function f, [boolean strip])

* Included mpost 1.780

* The implied existence of the following Lua libraries is now
  deprecated:

     debug, unicode.*, luazip, lfs, lpeg, zlib, gzip, md5,
     socket.*, profiler, epdf, fontloader, mplib, and
     pdfscanner.

  Future versions of luatex will load these modules on demand
  from dynamic libraries.

  Please update your sources to include a 'require' line for
  each of the library modules mentioned.

* Two new callbacks: find_cidmap_file and load_cidmap_file
  (used by the fontloader to discover .cidmaps)



The archives can be downloaded from supelec as usual:
