Luaotfload 2.5 -- TeX Live 2014 Edition

Changes since v2.4:

• Remove legacy code.
• Remove compatibility with the old mkluatexfontdb script.
• Remove test directory. Use https://bitbucket.org/phg/lua-la-tex-tests
  instead.
• Remove luaotfload.lua from luaotfload.dtx; it is now a separate file
  luaotfload-main.lua.
• Standard source tree structure: the code is now located in the ./doc,
  ./scripts, ./src, ./build, and ./misc directories.
• Move the heavier LPEG parsers from luaotfload-features (syntax) and
  luaotfload-database (fontconfig) into the new file
  luaotfload-parsers.lua.
• Move logging routines from luaotfload-override in to luaotfload-log.
• Scan local font files (--local flag to luaotfload-tool, flag
  scan_local during TeX run).
• Add bisection mode (--bisect) to luaotfload-tool.
• Add functions for accessing the database: aux.font_index() and
  aux.read_font_index().
• Distinguish XDG configuration paths (Reuben Thomas)
• Optional configuration via rc files.
• Configure default features via configuration file.

Minor Release

List of improvements since 2.3 (from the NEWS file):

• Additional self-tests, now in separate file (luaotfload-diagnostics.lua)
• Better path and directory handling, especially on Windows
• database now indexes Type1 fonts (PFA, PFB) and makes them accessible with style modifiers (requires --format=+pfa,pfb option to luaotfload-tool)
• Test runner (script mktests)
• New luaotfload-tool option: --no-reload
• luaotfload-tool --find now understands request syntax
• text (Lua script) version of the font index is filtered through gzip by default, the --no-compress option of luaotfload-tool will prevent this
• rename luaotfload-merged.lua (the fontloader package from Context) to luaotfload-fontloader.lua
• Treat arguments of the letterspace option as percentages; add kernfactor option that behaves as before.
• Remove imported version of typo-krn.lua. Xetex-style per-font letterspacing is now the canonical method.
• Merge functionality from extralibs (fake Context layer) into luaotfload-letterspace.lua as it is only needed there anyways.
