+==============================================================
+Luatex beta-0.87.0 was released 2015121700
+==============================================================
+
+
+
+This is a next step upto 0.90 and it has the following changes:
+
+- image data is no longer stored in the format (it was fragile anyway)
+
+- pdf backend data generated when in ini mode is no longer stored in the format
+
+- (incomplete) \mag support removed from pdf backend (this functionality is
+ kept in dvi mode)
+
+- there are a couple of improvements that should make luatex run a little bit faster
+ (but of course that depends on the job at hand)
+
+- some further pending issues / cleanup has been done (but this is not reflected in the
+ interface)
+- there is a new primitive \nospace:
-Upcoming LuaTeX Release 0.87
+ \nospace=1 do now not inject glue for spaces (not even zero glue)
+ \nospace=2 inject zero glue for spaces
-(major changes)
+- there are new primitives \hpack, \vpack and \tpack that are like \hbox, \vbox and
+ \vtop but they don't trigger callbacks
-- image data no longer stored in format (was fragile anyway)
-- pdf backend data no longer stored in format
+- we no longer keep track of older math character and delimiter definition states,
+ but this should normally go unnoticed
-- (incomplete) \mag support removed from pdf backend (kept in dvi mode)
+- from now on only ^^XX, ^^C, ^^^^XXXX and ^^^^^^XXXXXX are supported so no funny odd
+ values (three and five)
-- all kind of (efficiency) improvements
-- some pending issues done (behind the screens)
+- texio.setescape(0) disables escaping to terminal (a matter of taste)
-- \nospace=1 will not inject glue for spaces (not even zero glue)
-- \nospace=2 will inject zero glue for spaces
+- the (current) lc codes are now saved with the (current) language when patterns are
+ loaded unless one hs used \hjcode instead of \lccode; overloading of \hjcodes is
+ possible (but of course goes ahead of hyphenation which is delayed till parbuilding or
+ packaging
-- no longer keep track of older math character and delimiter definition states
+- active characters can now be set with: \letcharcode123=\foo (experimental)
-- only ^^ ^^^^XXXX ^^^^^^XXXXXX supported
-- texio.setescape(0) disables escaping to terminal
+- there are some experimental new primitives but these will be described when they are
+ stable (currently being tested)
-- lc codes saved with language
+- there is more backend error reporting and all error messages adn warnings (the non-tex
+ ones) have been normalized
+- of course there are the usual small fixes and additional setters and getters in libraries
+ (see manual)
