MiKTeX Console

MiKTeX Console is
the new MiKTeX management tool which combines three UI applications
into one:

• MiKTeX Package Manager
• MiKTeX Settings
• MiKTeX Update Wizard

miktex-lua53tex

LuaTeX now comes in two variants:

• miktex-luatex is the default engine with Lua 5.2 inside
• miktex-lua53tex is the experimental engine with Lua 5.3 inside

Switching engines

By default, the LuaTeX executables (luatex, lualatex, ...) are
linked to the 5.2 engine.

You can switch the engine by setting a configuration value and
recreating links to the executables.

To use the new 5.3 based engine:

initexmf --set-config-value [luatex]luaver=5.3
initexmf --force --mklinks

To switch back to the 5.2 based engine:

initexmf --set-config-value [luatex]luaver=5.2
initexmf --force --mklinks

As always: run initexmf with administrator privileges and add the
--admin option, if you manage a shared MiKTeX installation.
