Good to know in order to propose new features :-).

Just out of curiosity (and not related to this feature), I see that
Windows and Linux binaries (both 64bit) in the Suite contain different
versions (1.08 v. 1.07).

Is version 1.08 to be released or only the Windows platform contains the
latest stable binaries for LuaTeX?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo
