Why is context.mkii out of date?

Why is context.mkii out of date?

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hi,

I created some documents with MKII and started wondering why pdfinfo was showing

Creator:        ConTeXt - 2013.06.07 17:34
Producer:       pdfTeX-1.40.16
CreationDate:   Sun May  3 11:18:14 2015
ModDate:        ConTeXt - 2013.06.07 17:34

I first thought that I accidentally used TeX Live 2013 and had to
tripple-check until I realized that context.mkii actually defines
    \edef\contextversion{2013.06.07 17:34}
Why is that?

While I understand that MkII is basically frozen, it would be nice if
pdf reported the version of ConTeXt that was actually used.

(ModDate might also be wrong. In MkIV it's the same as CreationDate.
And in MkIV Creator uses one extra space at the beginning.)

Thank you,
    Mojca

Hi Mojca,

I see another mismatch,
http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf has the following
ConTeXt version:

    Creator:         ConTeXt - 2015.05.01 18:45
    Producer:       LuaTeX-0.80.0
    CreationDate:   Fri May  1 18:46:28 2015

(I use this file to check wheter a new beta has been released.)

The same information is provided at http://pragma-ade.com/download-1.htm
for the latest beta: 2015-05-01 18:47.

But after having updated my distribution to latest beta (I did it
yesterday), I get this info from one generated PDF document:

    Creator:         ConTeXt - 2015.04.18 14:41
    Producer:       LuaTeX-0.80.0
    CreationDate:   Sun May  3 10:26:10 2015

Is this only a mismatch in numbers but also in files?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo
