Announcement text:
* provide a fonts.names.scan(dir) function that temporally loads fonts from the specified dir into the names database * Log loaded font file before attempting to open it * fix XeTeX's square brackets syntax so that it doesn't trigger database update * fix loading fonts with absolute path * add \fontdimen8 support, for XeTeX compatibility * be more verbose when updating the font database * improve fonts.conf parsing * make sure when a TFM font is requested we don't end up loading a non-TFM font with a similar name instead * Remove --fc-cache option from mkluatexfontdb.lua, since we no longer use fontconfig tools * misc. bug fixes

The package adopts the TrueType/OpenType Font loader code provided in ConTeXt, and adapts it to use in Plain TeX and LaTeX. It works under LuaLaTeX only.
