Context 2005.11.15 Released

[Taco Hoekwater]

Hello all,

I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen
can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its
mirrors.

   http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
   http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
   http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

If you have not updated your Latin Modern fonts in the past
month, then you will need to fetch the latest redistribution
of the LM fonts as well:

   http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip
   http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-lmt.zip
   http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip

The current release has version 2005.11.15. As usual, there is a
page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki,
see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.15

New features compared to the 2005.11.14 version:

   *  A new key in \setupregister: prefix=
      This controls page prefixes in index ranges
   *  New functionality: indentnext=auto
      Blank lines in the source are taken into account when
      indextnext=auto is in effect.
      A really short example of usage would be:

      \setupindenting[small,yes]
      \setupformulas[indentnext=auto]
      \starttext
      \startformula a = b\stopformula

      \input tufte % blank line => with indentation

      \startformula a = b\stopformula
      \input tufte % no blank line => no indentation

      \stoptext

Bugs fixed since the 2005.11.14 version:

   * A bug in the new "extension of definitions inside assignments"
     feature in 2005.11.11 accidentally broke the non-english
     interfaces.


Happy TeXing,

Taco Hoekwater

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Hans, I love you, will you marry me? ;)

(BTW, I'm wondering if "auto" should be the default
indentnext setting for the displays? Or would that be
pressing too much? :))

Hi

I have another request about indentnext.

Is there a chance that a new release will optionally
make \place<float> transparent, even in the "here" case?

This would often be useful after enunciations and paragraph
blocks (answers/exercises).

Greetings,

Taco

what do you mean with transparent?

well, sending me a copy of your thesis once it's finished would be a 
good start -)

indeed too much a compatibility issue

i was thinking of a module or so: m-indent (or s-indent) or maybe a more 
generic module with setups (m-setups), so that one can say:

\setups[auto-indent]

an alternative is to change (in the several \setupcommands) the yes/no's 
into something autoyes and autono which will default to yes/auto no/auto 
depending on the global setting of yes/auto

(part of a definable method); does that make sense?

I meant: treated as if it was not present. I could have
sworn it sometimes destroys the indentnext=no setting,
but cannot reproduce that effect with a simple test file.

Will do some digging through sources later this week,
(it is even possible that the 'auto' patched fixed it)

Taco

That's really not a problem :)

Uh ... yes, I think something like

\setupformulas[indentnext=default|yes|no|auto]
\setupitemgroup[indentnext=default|yes|no|auto]

etc

and then

\setups[indentnext=yes|no|auto]

?
