There are a few new things and some changes: - The flow chart module has been rewritten for mkiv and cf Wili it does a decent job so I've replaced the old one. This is the one that can be extended (discussed at the context conference). - I'm rewriting stepcharts (something I need myself) but that's work in progress. Here the functionality will change a bit (no problem as I never noticed any other usage). The manual will also be updated. == There is an experimental new s-fnt-35.mkiv module that can be used as: \usemodule[fnt-35,art-01] \setupbodyfont [cambria] \starttext \ctxlua{moduledata.fonts.show_a_lot("Cambria")} \stoptext It probably needs to be improved. Users are welcome to submit additional (language related) sample alphabets etc. It might also become an option for mtx-fonts.lua == There has been a change in storing positional info in the tuc file. No big deal, just another format. == There has been a fix in otf contextual stuff ... for Idris (so that he can finish the context book sooner). == There are some new commands: \startdocument and \stopdocument. Copied from mag-1101: \starttyping \startdocument[settings] structured content \stopdocument \stoptyping The settings are key|/|value pairs and the values can be retrieved using: \starttyping \documentvariable{key} \stoptyping You can set \type {before} and \type {after} parameters and by default these are set up as follows: \starttyping \setvariables [document] [before=\directsetup{document:start}, after=\directsetup{document:stop}] \stoptyping You can for instance define these setups to generate a title page (using document variables) and a colophon page. In the future more functionality might be added. == Yet another new feature is automatic italic correction. There will be an article about it (first version ready), maybe in the conference proceedings as it's a follow up on the conference. Quick howto: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes] It is enabled with: \setupitaliccorrection[always] % or 'text' or 'none' Or (bit more efficient): \setupitaliccorrection[always,global] or even: \definefontfeature[default][default][itlc=yes,notextitalics=yes] to get rid of \/ too. (we might opt for \/ being just /). Thomas and I will play with additional functonality (range support for fonts that have somewhat italic properties like greek). == Of course there are a couple of patches and for sure some new bugs (or missing files).
