Subject: Re: XeTeX 1.0 - request for comments

Hello Jonathan,

I might have missed something, but I believe there still is a problem with CJK line wrapping. Your hack from February 23 works, but you can't expect regular LaTeX users to figure this out. I can't even understand how it works.
Here is the relevant quote from Roger Hart and you:

Finally, if I might very humbly submit a request -- and I am truly humbled by the work you've done on XeTeX -- could you please make proper wrapping of CJK a priority for the next release? I think that line-wrapping is a very basic capability, it is easy for someone installing XeTeX, on finding CJK lines don't wrap, to just assume that XeTeX is not compatible with CJK.

I'm taking a look at the place where that code needs to be inserted..... stay tuned for developments. ;-)

JK


Thanks for all the great work,
Pavel

Folks -

I've been wondering, now that XeTeX has been available and fairly stable for a while, whether it's about time to release a "version 1.0", and stop claiming that this is experimental, pre-release software. However, before taking such a step, I'd appreciate hearing from users if there are any niggling little issues that really should be tidied up first. So, this is a "Call for Bugs" (or *minor* missing features).... if there's something you'd like me to consider fixing/changing before releasing a version called "XeTeX 1.0", please let me know.
