See http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes.

LaTeX has (almost) nothing to do with ConTeXt, but even LaTeX packages
are updated every now and then.

Hans is coding so fast that he doesn't have enough time to document
everything ;)
Sure, the manual is somehow outdated: many new features are not yet
described there (perhaps in some other manual, on wiki, on the mailing
list archive, in the source or nowhere yet), but the manual is still
very useful - since ConTeXt is backward compatible and the most
important functionality was already there at that time, you can safely
use it.
