==============================================================
+Luatex beta-0.78.2 was released 20140113
+==============================================================
+
+* Extended luafontloader's info() function to include data
+ from the 'pfminfo' and 'names' structure.
+
+* Fixed a bug in the luafontloader library that made loading
+ some fonts extremely slow (LastResort.ttf)
+
+* Removed a recent extension in the luafontloader library that
+ made loading fonts with lots of glyphs slow (ArialUnicoce.ttf).
+ Note: the extension made sure that there were no duplicate
+ glyph names in the font after loading.
+
+* Restored --recorder output for lua files (dofile/loadfile/io.open)
+
+* One-at-a-time pattern adding from lua used to require enormous
+ amounts of memory
+
+* luatex's fontloader.to_table() no longer reports 'altuni' table
+ information for alternates that are solely driven by the font
+ encoding. This fixes loading time issues for fonts that fill
+ encodings by copying a single glyph many times, like e.g.
+ LastResort.ttf from Apple.
+
+* The datestamp no longer appears in any banners. The associated
+ \luatexdatestamp primitive is deprecated and will be removed
+ in 0.80.0.
+
+* Synchronization with the TeXLive sources updated the following
+ libraries:
+ * cairo is now 1.12.16
+ * pixman is now 0.32.4
+ * lua is now 5.2.3
+ * zlib is now 1.2.8
+ * poppler is now 0.25.0
+
+* That same TL synchronization also fixes these issues:
+ * Always write "\nendstream" to the PDF for PDF/A-1b compliance.
+ * Large file support (>4GB) in Lua
+ * Big images could overflow on systems where sizeof(long)=4.
+ * In writing CID CFF fonts to the PDF, and end_dict() was missing.
+ * Unknown 'post' table versions (found in some broken ttf/otf
+ fonts) are now treated as-if they specified version 3.0.
+ * Fix crashes on 32-bit systems caused by bad C header inclusion
+ order
+ * Handle '--luac' and '--luaconly' properly
+ * luatex is now released under GPLv2+, not just GPLv2.
+ * luatex can now find .ofm metric files even if the extension
+ is not given explicitly.
+
+* node.unset_attribute() was broken in 0.78.0
+
+* The UTF-8 commandline patch from 0.78.0 for Win32 was removed
+ again (did not work properly)
+
+==============================================================
+Luatex beta-0.78.0 was released 20131231
+==============================================================
+
+* Instead of using expanded fonts, just calculate the expanded
+ width of glyphs where needed, and carry expand info in the
+ glyph nodes (all based on Hans' suggestions). All font expansion
+ functions are disabled and most are removed.
+
+* New, faster (but limited) direct node access from lua, see
+ the manual for details
+
+* Support for Apple Advanced Typography (AAT) information in
+ fonts is dropped
+
+* Extended build script for mingw/msys (includes 64-bit support)
+
+* Various patches from/via Akira Kakuta for better Win32
+ integration
+
+* Fixes for some bugs in de pdfscanner library (mostly related
+ to inline images)
+
+* Maximum hyphenated word length is now 64Kb characters.
+
+* Various patches from Khaled Hosny and Luigi Scarso for the
+ luafontloader subsystem
+
+* Fix for a crash when re-dumping formats
+
+* Fix for a Selene unicode library bug where some characters in
+ UTF-8 were incorrectly flagged as having the 'Space' property
+
+* Some smaller fixes
+
