Dohyun Kim submitted an update to the luamplib package.

Introduced at v2.5 but not announced for a technical issue. - For the new functionality above, luamplib inspects each and every .mp input files and make caches if necessary. As this will sometimes waste time resources uselessly, new macros mplibmakenocache{...} and mplibcancelnocache{...} are provided, so that users can instruct those input files that do not need this routine. - Added a hack to support graph.mp (in fact, format.mp) - [fix] luamplib now respects percent sign when it is enclosed by quotes, as it is not a comment sign but a string token. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is located at http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/luatex/generic/luamplib/ More information is at http://www.ctan.org/pkg/luamplib We are supported by the TeX Users Group http://www.tug.org .
