Hello,
in another post I described an error in the core. To find it, I have to
redefine the macro and insert it just at the beginning. Is it right, that
core-new.tex is a file that will be loaded at runtime? And maybe it would
be a good idea, to have a second file cont-patch that will be loaded if
present at runtime. Then I can place a corrected core function in this
file and it will automatically replace the one from the format. Or what is
the way suggested for doing such things.
Uwe

There are two files loaded at run time:
cont-new : here go patches of new things
cont-loc : local patches
Now, cont-new will change with an update, but if you add thinsg to
cont-loc, you must be sure that you keep 'm in sync with context core
macros. Here I do have a cont-loc with some speed tests and improvements
that I not yet trust enough to make them public
Patches posted on this list (or send to people) have to go to cont-new.tex,
since then they will be cleaned up during an update.

Just to make it clear:
Is it guaranteed, that cont-loc is not used by the distribution? And
loaded if present?

Yes, because it's used by me [and afaik only taco has a copy for some speed
testing purposed] and it will never make it as file in the distribution.
But, it's at your own risk putting stuff in there -)
