Among the things to keep an eye on are: - if you use the new (web2c) beta binaries be aware of the suffixes of formats now all being 'fmt'; conforming to the new tds structure, this should go in sync with a so called $engine subpath under webc, but this wil lnot be supported by tetex (i'm not sure about texlive); this can be rather annoying when you use pdfetex as well as aleph; in that case you may want to try texexec --make --alone --all --engine (i always use --all to get all patterns in the format) - with new binaries you should also be aware of changes in enc and map paths; texfont is already adapted to that and textools can be used to adapt your trees - however, the main reason for writing this mail is that i recently found out that there has been a change in the us hyphenation files; on your system this may be obscured by the fact that sometimes there is an alias file somewhere in the tree mapping old names on new names [fyi: i finally found out that this alias file is also the reason why sometimes fonts like dingbats get messed up]. I have adapted context to look for new and old files; unfortunately important changes like this are not announced and just happen (i wonder how many us-english users are aware of this change); i have been bitten by this (unannounced changes in filenames, and i cross my fingers that the content is the same) too often now; when it happens again, i'll start distributing patterns as in the first versions of context (lang-*.pat/hyp files) - 8 bit in/output: it looks like tex live will not be 8 bit (the last version was 8 bit except chars<32, the previous version was 8 bit) and the next version will be yet another mix; since i want context to be 8 in/8 out the formats will be built with the natural.tcx vector (in a few years, when i can be sure that suers are in sync, i will use the -8bit switch). I will not bore you with teh arguments that are used to let tex not be 8 but by default, but it has to do with unix and terminal output and locales and such. (interestingly this is no real problem for context since the control characters (<32) are mostly used for file io, verbatim, pdf, metapost, javascript, xml etc).
