Ulrike Fischer submitted an update to the
luaotfload
package.
Version number: 3.15 2020-09-02
License type: gpl2
Summary description: OpenType ‘loader’ for Plain TeX and LaTeX
Announcement text:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
2020-09-02 luaotfload v3.15
* The font database is updated more reliably if fonts get deleted.
* In multiple error cases, error messages are shown instead of silently
generating bad output.
* Write glyph ids instead of internal identifiers to DVI files. This
allows using OpenType fonts when working with dvilualatex.
(This requires additional support from the DVI reader)
* The set of font features which are enabled by default has been
changed to be more similar to HarfBuzz.
Especially Above-base mark Positioning (abvm),
Below-base mark Positioning (blwm), Contextual
Alternates (calt), Cursive Positioning (curs),
Distances (dist), and Required Contextual Alternates
(rclt) are now enabled by default for all scripts.
* Added a mathfontdimen font feature which allows emulating
fontdimen values from xetex or traditional TeX math fonts.
* Initial support for variable fonts in node mode.
