Jean-Francois and xetex group,
Jean-Francois sent the source for his sample xetex program which caused a hang of xetex with multiple complaints of the form **** WARNING: .setopacityalpha is deprecated (as of 9.53.0) and will be removed in a future release **** See .setfillconstantalpha/.setalphaisshape for the improved solution Since I make the TeX Live 2021 binaries for Macs (Arm and Intel) and since I made new binaries two days ago from the latest sources, I could add those binaries to a copy of TeX Live 2020, rebuild formats, and then test his source. I'm sorry to report that the bug still exists, at least on the Mac.
