I guess is not so easy to find out what changes in the ConTeXt source result in these changes now. So to continue work it will be probably better to downgrade again my ConTeXt. Is there an easy way to do this, like using sudo ctxtools -- updatecontext and use the respective files from the museum?

It would be as simple as: 1. Go to http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=14, parse for the particular date and download the appropriate files, or 2. Try all files tmf, exa, win|ppc|?? one by one, and download the ones that are available, and then unzip the files and remake the formats. This would make going back to an old version really easy. I don't know if packet managers for linux like apt-get can downgrade to an earlier version. In any case, this will be a very useful feature.
