I love it when things work out.  The following is straight from my
announcement:

   New features since 2006.01.09:

   * ConTeXt now does a runtime vs. format version check.
     If they do not match, the run is aborted.

You were still running the old format from 19 december, which is why
the new cont-new.tex refused to process your file.

No, the update still doesn't work. You only made the error go away.
You have to unpack the new zip again (to recover the cont-new) and
run texexec --make to start using the new version.
