Hi all,
I tried upgrading to the 2023 version, but generating the format fails with lots of these messages:
! Control sequence expected instead of undefined.
<macro> \syst_basics_allocate_yes #1#2#3#4#5->\ifnum #1<#4\relax \global \advanceby #1\plusone \permanent \global #3#5=#1\relax \else \writestatus {warning}{no room f
<line 3.493> \newmuskip \scratchmuskip
\newmuskip \globalscratchmuskip \newmuskip \privatescratchmuskip
! Control sequence expected instead of undefined.

<line 3.493>
But I was surprised that nobody else had seen it yet. Can anyone confirm (or yell “works for me!”)?
All best
Thomas

You luametatex binary is too old and fails on the new \advanceby command.
When I tried to update my current installation a few moments ago the
updater also failed to load the new luametatex binary (I haven't tried
to regenerate the format files) but a fresh installation works without
problems.

Thank you, Wolfgang, will try with a fresh installation. Now that you
mention it, I see some error messages in the log
mtx-install | changed : 0 % : 3360848 :
tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex
mtx-install | tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex, try again later:
All best

this is indeed an indication that an old binary is used

I am working on Windows 10.
Anytime a new upload is announced, I download the
context-win64.zip unpack it and run install.bat and setpath.bat.
Is it a fresh installation? Or should I from time to time
erase my installation and run install.bat to create a new
distribution?
Thanks for the advices!
Happy New Year to everybody!
Alain

This is not a *fresh* install. In fact, you can simply run
./install.bat - there is no need to download context-win64.zip.
Having said that, the latest problem with the update has to do with an
updated luametatex binary, so your method might have worked by updating
the binary with the unzip, even if it is not a "fresh" install.

For information:
I tried updating by downloading a fresh zip and unpacking it over an
existing installation, then running ./install.bat. This failed with the
latest upload, although unzipping to a new location and running
./install.bat resulting in a good, updated distribution.
The install/update and mtxrun scripts could possibly be improved to
1. start by updating the luametatex binary in a first step,
then rerunning to update the rest of the distribution;
2. systematically clear the luametatex-cache upon update (I
believe that this is a small price to pay for robustness).
However, such changes clearly are not a priority to work out, for now.
Alan
