As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes Two important caveats apply to this release: * ConTeXt has switched to Latin Modern for the base math fonts as well. If this gives you problems with missing metrics, then your latin modern font package needs to be updated. In case your TeX installation does not have an easy update solution, the LM package is on CTAN: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/fonts/lm/ * ConTeXt has switched to pdftex 1.40. Unfortunately, due to changes in pdftex, it is not possible to support both 1.40 and 1.30 reliably at the same time, so if you normally use pdftex, you have to upgrade pdftex as well as context. In case your TeX installation does not have an easy update solution, the pdftex 1.40.1 distribution is available in source from here: http://sarovar.org/projects/pdftex Alternatively, you could temporarily use XeTeX instead of pdftex. If you cannot solve or work around the two above issues, you should not update to the new ConTeXt. New features (compared to 2007.01.02): * Complete support for pdftex 1.40 * Swich to Latin Modern Math * Support for TeXGyreSchola fonts * Support for pdftex 1.40's draft mode (texexec --draft) * The scripts texmstart, texexec and texsync return exit codes now * The vim-based syntax highlighting module is added to cont-ext.zip Bugfixes: * A math display error message from 2007.01.02 is fixed * The unicode map file loading was broken in non-pdftex * texexec's --passon switch is re-instated * The Adobe euro font map file is now usable by dvips as well Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater
