I just wanted to add something. The date behind the version is the date of compilation, not the date of source, so the date itself offers very little information in this case (apart from the information when the person compiling luated created the binary). For some reason the versions of LuaTeX compiled for ConTeXt minimals and thus for tlcontrib don't contain the SVN revision number. The reason is that I have set up the system before Taco introduced reading of luatex version from SVN and when I sync the sources of LuaTeX, I use "--exclude '.svn'". If there are strong requests to leave the SVN revision number, I might try to leave the .svn folders in the sources (is it enough to keep just the topmost .svn?) On the other hand ... we only compile the beta branches, so the SVN number is not really an issue (it uniquely determins the version being used). Mojca
