The biggest new thing is that there is yet another table mechanism: extreme tables. There is a manual too: http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/manuals/xtables-mkiv.pdf It says in the introduction: >> This is a short introduction to yet another table mechanism built in \CONTEXT. It is a variant of the so called natural tables but it has a different configuration. Also, the implementation is completely different. The reason for writing it is that in one of our projects we had to write styles for documents that had tables spanning 30 or more pages and apart from memory constraints this is quite a challenge for the other mechanisms, if only because splitting them into successive floats is not possible due to limitations of \TEX. The extreme table mechanism can handle pretty large tables and split them too. As each cell is basically a \type {\framed} and as we need to do two passes over the table, this mechanism is not the fastest but it is some two times faster than the natural tables mechanism, and in most cases can be used instead. << There will probably a few additions but it's already pretty complete.
