May I ask whether XeTeX is still being "actively" ( or even passively)
developed ? I ask because, once again, I came up against a fundamental
limitation of XeTeX yesterday — the fact that a font can be defined to be of a
specific colour, but the colour model is restricted to RGB. Given that (I

Looking at the Sourceforge activity:
https://sourceforge.net/p/xetex/code/commit_browser

Live 2018.

as TeX and PdfTeX that do not offer intrinsic colour support at the primitive
level. XeTeX /do

Agreed (and also background colours for boxes and pages), but I would be
reluctant to propose too much in a single "Request for enhance
