Updating jitters

Updating jitters

[Idris Samawi Hamid]

Dear consortium,

I am using an ConTeXt from Jan-28-06 (ancient) and wish to upgrade. Now  
things have changed (perl=>ruby, no more texexec.ini etc.), I still use  
both the pdftex and aleph engines, and I want to do this as cleanly as  
possible. I am using mswincontext.zip with the xemtex latex tree dumped on  
top.

Whatever advice you can give me on upgrading will be most greatly  
appreciated!

Best
Idris

--aleph will give you aleph 

nothing has changed (may even be better than before)

So I don't need the latest mswincontext.zip, only the latest cont-tmf.zip  
beta?

You need cont-tmf.zip and cont-win.zip (binary for texmfstart).

I don't remember when the change with "texmfstart" has happened, but
if you don't have that yet, the folder texmf-mswin from mswincontext
might be worth updating as well. It might contain slightly newer
binaries, but if you don't care about that, copying the content of
texm-local/scripts/stubs/win (from cont-tmf.zip) should do.
