I installed texlive 2013 today. After installation, luatex cannot generate ligatures for "fi fl ff", but it can for ``` '' ---.xetex` works perfectly here, after update.

MWE:

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Ligatures={Common,Rare,TeX}]{EB Garamond}

\begin{document}

\Huge{ffi fl fi `` '' ---}

\end{document}

<code>lualatex</code> version:

UPDATE: I tried to use the method described here: How to enable ligatures for emdash/endash in LuaTeX ? And luatex can generate ligatures correctly. So is my problem related to fontspec?

The last version had a bug that prevented node mode from being set properly. This will be fixed in the next upload (probably today). – Philipp Gesang May 11 '13 at 07:24

In my just updated system the output is correct. – egreg May 11 '13 at 09:07
Confirmed. Everything works perfect now. Please close this question. – capsensitive May 11 '13 at 09:19
No. Seems I used the xelatex to compile MWE. Still waiting for the update. – capsensitive May 11 '13 at 09:28
I was just having very weird effects too which got solved after I deleted the luatex-cache in ~/.texlive2013/texmf-var/. This forces the cache to be rebuilt (manually calling luaotfload-tool didn’t do the trick). – georgd May 11 '13 at 12:32
Tried that method, but it did not work for me. – capsensitive May 11 '13 at 21:14
the newest (May 19) version now can generate the ligature, but those ligature are not 'copyable'/ – capsensitive May 20 '13 at 05:51
