Omega uses 16-bit, Unicode-encoded, characters. It -provides many innovative concepts, notably including the “translation -process” that takes a character stream and transforms it according to -various processes that may be internally specified, or be a separate -program. -<p/>While Omega showed a lot of promise at its mid-1990s announcement, its -development was slow, and development was essentially dead by the time -that one of the original developers withdrew (taking with him a bunch -of research students). -<p/>Before that distressing event, a separate thread of development was -started, to produce a program called Aleph -, which merged the facilities of -<a href="FAQ-etex.html">e-TeX</a> into a stable Omega codebase and added other -extensions. Aleph also proved an attractive platform for many people; -but its development, too, has dried up. -<p/>The latest news (from EuroTeX 2006) is that development of Omega is -picking up again, in parallel with research into what the (new) -authors consider a rational scheme for supporting TeX-style -typesetting. The new system is to be known as Omega-2 -(Omega subscript 2), and is being -designed in a modular fashion so that support of new facilities (such -as use of advanced OpenType fonts) can be added in a relatively -straightforward fashion. -<p/>The work done in the Aleph project is also being carried forward in -the <a href="FAQ-luatex.html">LuaTeX</a> project. -<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=omegaleph">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=omegaleph</a> -</body> |
