Hi,
Karl would like me to remove \luatexdatestamp (and its associated lua
value), because that makes it easier to create new binaries from the
same source code (without getting small differences always).
That is a good argument, so my current plan is to remove it in the next
version. Consider yourself warned ;)
Thank you. I also asked a couple of times to at least replace this
date with the date of the latest change in SVN. The latter would be at
least consistent and informative, while the date of compilation is
both unreliable and causes constant change of the binaries.
I believe this is also less of an issue now that LuaTeX is more or
less stable and the LuaTeX version is mostly sufficient. In past when
everyone was using "the latest" version from trunk it was more
important to know which version it was.
as long as we keep the (unique) date in the luatex banner ... context
uses that for automatically regenerating the format etc and that's a
feature I'd not like to see go away
