Context 2006.07.13 released

Context 2006.07.13 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 2006.07.13

A very short list of changes is given below. As usual, there is an
html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see:

   http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes

New features since  2006.05.11:

* The use of \sometxt in MetaPost figures (instead of \textext) can
   remove the need for indirect "texexec" runs, resulting in a massive
   speed improvement for heavy documents.
* Table splitting is reimplemented and improved
* Initial support for the new TeXGyre font families
* A new release of the bib module, with better support for
   interaction and per-chapter bibliographies
* Some small extensions to \framed
* The database module now supports ASCII (non-TeX) files with CSV
   quoting
* \setupformulae accepts a conversion parameter now
* More built in math support (matrices etc.)
* A prerelease of the "koeieletters" font
* A new module for R integration
* Itemizations can be randomized (for multiple-choice courseware)
* Support for typesetting OpenMath (via MathML)

Happy TeXing,

Taco Hoekwater

Do I understand correct that this is meant to generally replace  
\textext from inside metapost figures?

Is the following change correct, for example:
	% prevent wobbling of text boxes with uneven depth
	pic := textext("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0");
into:
	pic := sometxt("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0");

Are there restrictions? When to use \sometxt and when is there need  
for \textext?

this should work

when such texts are used in e.g. mp loops, you should use textext

Hi,

I'have updated my local ConTeXt to rel. 2006.07.14 and I obtain :

<to be read again>
                   directdiscretionary
l.71 enddef \directdiscretionary
                                 {;}

Cheers,

Renaud

Minimal test:

\useencoding[ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]

\starttext

Un essai, de ponctuation; un autre.

\startuseMPgraphic{testMP}
draw origin--(1cm,1cm);
draw (origin--(1cm,1cm)) rotated 180;
\stopuseMPgraphic

\placefigure[here]{none}{\useMPgraphic{testMP}}

\stoptext


texexec returns:

This is MetaPost, Version 0.901 (Web2C 7.5.3)
(test-mpgraph.mp
>> currentpen.directdiscretionary
! Improper type.
<to be read again>
                   {
l.145 draw origin--(1cm,1cm)\directdiscretionary {
                                                  ;}

Hi Hans,

The problem is apparently due to
\useencoding[ffr]
\mainlanguage[fr]

without it works well...

All I can say is: It was working well before updating (ConTeXt
2006.06.09 + bib beta 5)... I have just updated cont-tmf...
It's maybe due to \scanurl-related modifications ???

My cont-sys.tex:

add this to cont-new.tex 


Soon we will get rid of the active stuff (since pdftex has pre/post char kerning features built in now
