behavior of \vfill has changed in latest beta

behavior of \vfill has changed in latest beta

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi,

the behavior of \vfill has changed in the latest beta. In some of my 
setups, I used code like this to produce vertically centered content:

\starttext

\null\vfill

vertically centered?

\vfill\null

\stoptext

This works with the beta of 2015.11.19 19:13, but no longer with 
2015.12.21 12:16. Not sure if intended, side effect, or bug?

Thomas

Why don’t you use the makeup environment?

\definemakeup[centered][pagestate=start,headerstate=start]

\starttext

\startmakeup[centered]

vertically centered?

\stopmakeup

\stoptext

Because the \vfill is hidden deep in setup commands and part of a before 
key=value pair.
