Subject: Context 2005.11.30 Released (bis)
Date: Thu, 01 Dec 2005 11:51:51 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <438ED5C7.2010405@elvenkind.com> (raw)



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


Happy TeXing,

Taco Hoekwater
