OK, here is a collection of some assorted bugs. Most of them have been  
posted several times. Of course, everybody will have their own feeling  
of what is more and what is less urgent, but I will just add a few  
words about my own situation:

1. bib-module

\usemodule[bib]

\setuppublications
[refcommand=num,
numbering=yes]

\startpublication[k=bertellihecataeus,t=incollection,
a={{Bertelli}},y=2001,
n=1,s=Ber01]
\artauthor[]{Lucio}[L.]{}{Bertelli}
\pubyear{2001}
\arttitle{Hecataeus: From Genealogy to Historiography}
\editor[]{Nino}[N.]{}{Luraghi}
\crossref{luraghicraft}
\pages{67--94}
\pages{67--94}
\pubname{Oxford University Press}
\stoppublication

\startpublication[k=luraghihistorian,t=book,
a={{Luraghi}},y=2001,
n=2,s=Lur01a]
\editor[]{Nino}[N.]{}{Luraghi}
\pubyear{2001\maybeyear{a}}
\title{The Historian's Craft in the Age of Herodotus}
\city{Oxford}
\pubname{Oxford UP}
\stoppublication

\starttext

Citation: \cite[bertellihecataeus]

List:

\placepublications[criterium=all]

\stoptext

Taco's bib module does not work with the current beta. For me, this is  
a showstopper, I will have to give up on mkiv as long as this does not  
work.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

2. Section numbers in markings are duplicated

\setuphead
[section]
[page=yes,
style=normal]

\setupuserpagenumber[state=start,way=bysection]

\setupfootertexts[{\getmarking[sectionnumber]} – \userpagenumber]

\starttext

\section{One}

\input tufte

\page

\input linden

\section{Two}

\input bryson

\page

\input davis

\stoptext

Urgency=high, I use these markings in lots of documents.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

3. trep and tlig features don't work in node mode

\definefontfeature
   [mytest]
   [mode=node,script=latn,trep=yes,tlig=yes,kern=yes]

\starttypescript[serif][Test]
\definefontsynonym[Serif][name:texgyretermesregular][features=mytest]
\stoptypescript

\starttypescript[Test]
\definetypeface[Test][rm][serif][Test][default][features=mytest]
\stoptypescript

\usetypescript[Test]
\setupbodyfont[Test,12pt]

\starttext

fine's flops: 1 -- 2 --- 3

\stoptext

priority: medium for me (since it can be worked around, but still  
needs fixing)


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

4. Spaces, esp. after periods

\font\one=cmr10
\font\two=file:texgyrepagella-regular

\bgroup

A A A

\primitive\sfcode`A=2000

A A A

\egroup

\bgroup\one

A A A

\primitive\sfcode`A=2000

A A A

\egroup

\bgroup\two

A A A

\primitive\sfcode`A=2000

A A A

\egroup

\bye


This test file has been given by Wolfgang Schuster a few days ago. It  
shows a problem that is especially annoying after periods because it  
disrupts frenchspacing/nonfrenchspacing. For me, very high priority  
because the quality of the output is severely reduced (with this bug,  
it would be impossible to typeset a book for publication with ConTeXt  
mkiv right now).

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

5. Labels

\definelabel[SlideNumber][headstyle=normal,way=bytext]

\starttext

\incrementSlideNumber \nextSlideNumber

\stoptext

Fails in current beta. For me, urgency=medium.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

6. Cross-references

\starttext

\startitemize[n]

\item[one] One

\item[two] Two

\item[three] Three

\stopitemize

As we can see in item \in[one] and \in[three].

\stoptext

Urgency=medium

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

7. Line breaks between quotation marks:

\setuplayout[width=3cm]

\starttext

\quotation{This is a \quote{test.}}

\stoptext

Urgency: low, but non-nil.

OK, this should be enough for the time being. For almost two weeks, I  
haven't been able to connect to the supelec website to bring my luatex  
to the latest version; is this a problem on my end, or is access to  
the svn repositories currently disabled?

Would be nice to hear about these bugs; some of the have been posted  
several times, but we never heard back about them.

All best

Thomas
