Context 2005.11.24 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://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip
   http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip

The current release has version 2005.11.30. As usual, there is a
page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki,
see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.30

New features since 2005.11.24:

* A support module for loading DraTex

* Itemgroups now accept a command parameter. This allows \item c.s.
   to work on bits of the following paragraph, like so:

    \def\MyItemCommand#1{{\bf#1}\quad}
    \setupitemgroup[itemize][command=\MyItemCommand]
    \startitemize
    \item {test} is this okay?
    \item {test} is this okay?
    \item {test} is this okay?
    \stopitemize

* Extension for the use of marks in column sets using a new,
   three-argument, call to \getmarking :

    \getmarking[subsection][first][1] % column 1
    \getmarking[subsection][first][3] % column 3

* A set of font synonyms to enable easy ligature prevention
   (esp. useful in XML)

     \usetypescript[serif][handling][noligs]
     \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif]
       [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi]
     \definetypeface[mine][rm][serif]
       [latin-modern][default][encoding=texnansi]

     \setupbodyfont[mine,10pt]
     \starttext
     asjemenou-het--lijkt---te----werken
     \stoptext

* \setupinterlinespace[auto] makes interline (double) spacing
   work even across bodyfont switches

* new system modes for the current language:

   {\language[nl]
    \startmode[*en] english \stopmode
    \startmode[*nl] dutch   \stopmode
    \language[en]
    \startmode[*en] english \stopmode
    \startmode[*nl] dutch   \stopmode}

Bug fixes:

* ConTeXt now allows more MP specials, on user request (through
   \manyMPspecials). This is sometimes needed when MetaPost is called
   in-between runs instead of using the shell_escape mechanisms

* use TEXMFTE and TEXMFGW in type-tmf.dat. This allows texfont to
   function correctly under gwtex.

* Use the new map file names for the font families/typescripts antt,
   iwona, and kurier.

* Footnote markers no longer appear in headings

They will probably go away, or move to doc/context

A side-effect of calling texfont. It appends a definition to the map
file whilst saving the old one as ".bak"

1. There are .tex file in root of zip file ? why not in tex/context/.... ?
2. There are .bak files ?

Context 2005.11.24 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://context.aanhet.net/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://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip
   http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-lmt.zip

The current release has version 2005.11.24. As usual, there is a
page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki,
see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2005.11.24


New features compared to the 2005.11.16 version:

* As of this version, ConTeXt has a new zip archive: cont-fnt.zip.

   This zip will contain font support files. Currently included
   are texfont-generated metric and map files for these font families
   (with their typescript names in braces):

     - Adobe Utopia (utopia)
     - Bitstream Charter (charter)
     - Antykwa Poltawskiego (antykwa-poltawskiego)
     - URW Bookman (bookman)
     - URW Nimbus Mono (courier)
     - URW Nimbus Sans (helvetica)
     - URW Century Schoolbook (schoolbook)
     - URW Palladio (palatino)
     - URW Nimbus Roman No9 (times)
     - URW Chancery (chancery)

* \txt is a new command to be used like \item, \head and \sym
   inside itemgroups (e.g. '\startitemize ... \stopitemize')

* texmfstart can be used to generate the stub commands like
   'texfont' now

Bugs fixed compared to the 2005.11.16 version:

* the new texexec (in ruby) has gained some backward compatibility
   switches, like pdfarrange.
* The incorrect LMSans-Italic font mapping has been fixed
* The command \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] works properly now
