release

[Hans Hagen]

Hi,

We have a new release (unless severe problems show up, this release will 
stay for a while). If possible, the next release (oktober) will have an 
alternative vertical spacing (mkiv only) and a reimplmented 
sectioning/list/numbering mechanism (mkiv only).

There are also new zips of mininmals and cdwincontext. These now match 
the minimals on the garden. Of course you're strongly advised to use the 
garden.

Of course there will be the usual lot of betas.

Hans

Re: release

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hans,

For your information, yesterday I updated my ConTeXt installation with  
the command:
	sudo ctxtools --updatecontext
and the result is that I cannot anymore typeset any file with mkii,  
nor mkiv…
Out of despair, I removed my whole MacTeX install (running texlive  
2007 on Mac OS X 10.5.4), and tried to update again.
My version is now
	context version: 2008.08.05 18:47
and I get the following error message:
	ConTeXt ver: 2007.01.12 15:56 MKII fmt: 2008.8.6 int: english/english  
language : language en is active
	system : cont-new loaded (/usr/local/texlive/2007/../texmf-local/tex/ 
context/base/cont-new.tex
	FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
	FormatVersion : 2007.01.12 15:56
	MKII FilesVersion : 2008.08.05 18:47
Apparently something has changed in the way "ctxtools --updatecontext"  
acts.

Any solution in sight?

Thanks for your attention: OK

when did you last update? was that successful? afaik nothing changed in 
the 'normal' zips that should affect an update

but keep in mind that the minimals (zips) have now the structure of the 
minimals at the garden

Re: release

[Otared Kavian]

Hi Hans,

Thanks for your attention.
The last time I updated was this morning at 9:30 am…
Up to now my update procedure was always with "sudo ctxtools -- 
updatecontext" and it used to work until July 30 (last week).
I will try the minimals at the Garden and see what is going on (but  
right now I am in Italy and my Internet connection are not very  
smooth… so maybe I have to wait a while before I can experiment the  
minimals).

Best regards: OK

ok, as a quick start you could download one of the minimal zips

I think there are some regression in Arabic support, the attached
example gives intermingled Arabic in several places. I'm not sure when
this exactly happened, but a PDF that was generated with ConTeXt -
2008.06.28 and luaTeX-0.27.0 is fine.

Hi again Hans,

It is not possible to update to the latest release with "sudo ctxtools  
--updatecontext".

In order to inform other Mac users, and possibly prevent them to  
update, I am reporting my (bad) experience:
DO NOT UPDATE UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON…

Indeed something has changed in the structure of the new tree, or in  
the scripts, and obviously maybe both, so if you are not aware, don't  
update!

And now my experience: yesterday I tried to update and then I got the  
message
	FatalError : Your format does not match the base files!
expalining me why ConTeXt could not typeset my files.
After trying (without success…) to install the minimals from the  
Garden, I had to install anew my whole TeX tree with TeXMac (which  
installs TeXLive 2007).
However the ConTeXt present on MacTeX dates back to 2007.01.12, so in  
order to have a more recent version, I downloaded manually from
	http://foundry.supelec.fr/frs/?group_id=14&release_id=313
the file
	cont-tmf-20080521.zip
copied it into (using sudo)
	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
and then unzipped it there. Finally I did
	sudo texmfstart texexec --make --all --pdftex
after which I have a ConTeXt mkii
	ConTeXt ver: 2008.05.21 15:21 MKII fmt: 2008.8.7 int: english/english
which is not the latest, but it works fine…

Hi,

How do I update the minimals on a Linux box?  (If this is of any use)  I've
installed it in 

~/context-installation-directory

$ ls
bin             first.tex    tex
first-setup.sh  status-of-update.lua


Mohamed

this normally means that you need to run texexec --make

 From the wiki page:

   == Updating ==

   For now, the main recipe to update is to run first-setup again

Hi,

Can I update to mkiv from TexLive 2008?

Hi:

TL2008 does have MKIV package. However, it is not always latest.
(I think TL 2008 just follow the CTAN version)
So minimals installation is recommended.

I have a Mac, and am not experiencing the problems you describe. The  
updating process went smoothly, without any hitch, so I suspect it  
must be some problem with your setup (maybe older formats shadowing  
the ones ConTeXt created?).
