Hi,
I uploaded a beta to the website. The most important upgrades concern
the font subsystem.
- there was still some mkii code around ... all that has gone ... as a
consequence all code has been overhauled (a rather tedious job) ... some
code might be a bit faster (but nothing fundamental changed)
- designsizes are now dealt with in a different way but as only lm has
them no one will probably notice .. anyway it saves a lot of definitions
and (at least on my machine) the start up is somewhat faster
- the type-otf file is no longer used but its content has been
distributed over a some smaller files ... loading these files is rather
automatic and it should be compatible .. again this might give a (small)
startup speed improvement (and a bit less memory which quite certainly
goes unnoticed compared to the average memory usage)
- bodyfont environments are a bit more flexible now which was one of
the reasons for rewriting much code as there is some complex inheritance
and defaulting going on there
- Wolfgang is adapting / extending the simple fonts code but in
principle it should still work
In addition, the lists related code has been reorganized / redone and it
seems to be ok. There have been some conceptual changes to the list
rendering (easier for future extensions) but old commands still apply.
It's anyhow still somewhat experimental.
Of course there are some fixes and other cleanups done.
