[NTG-context] lmtx update
Hi, Here are the highlights of todays update: - somewhat more compact tuc files, not for all documents, but it can accumulate; also less memory used then; i could bring down an extreme 2000 page 5 column doc tuc file down to 5% -- it was 70 MB; for the luametatex manual it reducec the tuc more than 30%; hard to tell if there will be an associated performance hit, but i'm sure thomas will complain if that's the case - more mp-tex-lua interfacing upgraded plus extra preliminary chapter for luametafun about extensions - for taco - a slightly more compact cache files for fonts with many (pseudo) ligatures; hopefully no side effects (nothing that can't be fixed fast if noted); quite probably no performance hit and maybe even some room for optimization (not done yet) - a split in the cache directory for luametatex so that we can more easilly experiment without interference (so, although the above works in mkiv it's not enabled there currently) - some minor things (also in the process of splitting the codebase) - no real changes in / additions to the luametatex binary (we're in cosmetics mode now) Hans - Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl - ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
