v2.0.0 release for lua-widow-control.

Lua-widow-control is a Plain TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt/OpTeX package that removes widows and orphans without any user intervention. Using the power of LuaTeX, it does so without stretching any glue or shortening any pages or columns. Instead, lua-widow-control automatically lengthens a paragraph on a page or column where a widow or orphan would otherwise occur.

Breaking Changes

  • Page breaks may be slightly different
  • Removed \lwcemergencystretch and \lwcdisablecmd in LaTeX. Please use the new key–value interface

Other Changes

  • Use expl3 for the LaTeX files (#20)
  • Use a key–value interface for configuration with LaTeX (#11)
  • Silence some extraneous luatexbase info messages
  • Add a "debug mode" to print extra information (#12)
  • Fix error message line wrapping
  • Don't reset \interlinepenalty and \brokenpenalty
  • Set and analyze \displaywidowpenalty
  • Keep section headings with moved orphans (#17)
  • Add the ability to configure the maximum paragraph cost (#22)
  • Add a "strict" mode
  • Use an improved cost function to select the best paragraph to lengthen (#23)
  • Dozens of bug fixes
  • Miscellaneous documentation updates
