Hi, list! Announcing luatexts version 0.1 release (under MIT license). https://github.com/agladysh/luatexts The luatexts module handles serialization to a simple human-readable binary-safe Lua-aware format. It is much similar to my my luabins[1], only it uses text instead of binary data, and does support UTF-8 strings natively as one of the data formats. Native UTF-8 support is especially useful e.g. in JavaScript, where you can not reliably calculate size of a string in bytes. This is an early release. Code is not recommended for production yet, but early adopters are very welcome.
