Hi All,
The simpleslides can not work any more after texlive 2011 upgrading,
 here's the example.tex from slideslides

\usemodule[simpleslides]
          [style=BigNumber]

\setupTitle
  [ title={Title of the presentation},
   author={Name of authors},
     date={Date of presentation},
  ]

\starttext
\placeTitle

\SlideTitle {The first slide}
Write whatever you want.

\SlideTitle {The second slide}
Continue writing.

\stoptext

And the error output is
resolvers       > modules > loaded: 'simpleslides-s-BigNumber'
(/home/joshua/texmf/tex/context/third/simpleslides/simpleslides-s-BigNumber.tex
simpleslides    > loading Big Number style

))
system          > begin file example.tex at line 10
! Undefined control sequence.

system          > tex > error on line 11 in file example.tex: Undefined

Hi Thomas,
Thanks for your quick response, here's the version of my ConTeXt,
joshua@msh-pc1983:~$ context  --version

mtx-context     | main context file:
/usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04

Best regards,
Zhiguang

Hi Zhiguang,

yes, that's as I suspected: there was an overhaul of some core 
components last December or January, I think, so this version is 
unlikely to work with a recent simpleslides module. It should work with 
the current standalone version.

All best

Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Do you know how to upgrade ConTeXt package from texlive 2011 or tlcontrib?
I can not find the latest ConTeXt version for texlive 2011.

Best regards,
Zhiguang

What version of context are your referring to, i.e. what its the output 
of context --version? texlive 2012 is just around the corner. We had to 
adapt some code to recent changes in context, so it is indeed possible 
that this is not backward compatible with older versions. I can only 
speak for myself, but I don't think that it's worthwhile looking into 
problems with older versions; texlive 2012 should be released within the 
next few weeks (maybe Aditya has different opinions on this). So if you 
need this urgently, best install the context-suite, aka minimals, or 
wait for TL2012.

All best

Thomas
