Can you please try if it works now? (Though the situation is soon
going to change anyway.)

Hans was not able to upload a new beta version due to internet
connection problems (beta version is used for distributing ConTeXt). I
tried to fix it several times (temporary on the garden), but the
change has always managed to be reverted again for some yet unknown
reason (maybe every time when Hans updated experimental ConTeXt the
whole repository was re-synced ...)

I don't quite understand. One way to temporary fix this would be to
fetch new version of mtxrun from
http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/experimental/scripts/context/lua/,
replace the version in bin and try to resync. I synced the correct
version of mtxrun back to its place now (for windows), though I'm not
sure what circumstances might happen to revert the change again.

(You can also always download the zip from
http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/beta/cont-tmf.zip and just overwrite
the current contents, or manually rsync if installation is "broken",
though in normal circumstances this should not happen.)

Also, I have temporary frozen all the auto-updating scripts on the
server due to some changes in binary building (I would like to make
sure that changes work instead of leaving completely broken
distribution for two days). I hope to be back home in some 24 hours
and then I'll change a few remaining issues and do some tests until
tuesday. I mention it mostly to let you know that even if Hans uploads
a new beta tomorrow, it probably won't be accessible from the garden
minimals until Tuesday.
