Hi---
Here's another apparent change on the MP side---for keyword functions, string parameters no longer accept string variables directly. They do seem to register them (hasparameter => true) but don't capture the value (getparameter => 0). Thus:

metapost > trace > >> true
metapost > trace > >> 0
metapost > trace > >> "expression containing string variable fuschia = fuschia ..."
metapost > trace > >> true
metapost > trace > >> "fuschia"
String constant: succeeds
String variable: fails
String expression with string variable: succeeds
Here's the MWE:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
% system > ConTeXt ver: 2021.07.16 22:03 LMTX fmt: 2021.7.21 int: english/english
\startMPdefinitions
presetparameters "parameters_Test"
[
]
def Test =
applyparameters "parameters_Test" "do_Test"
enddef;
def do_Test =
pushparameters "parameters_Test";
show hasparameter "color";
show getparameter "color";
enddef;
\stopMPdefinitions
\starttext
hello
\startalignment[center]
\startplacefigure
\startMPcode
string fuschia; fuschia = "fuschia";
show "string constant fuschia ...";
Test [ color = "fuschia" ];
show "string variable fuschia = " & fuschia & " ...";
Test [ color = fuschia ];
show "expression containing string variable fuschia = " & fuschia & " ...";
Test [ color = "" & fuschia ];
\stopMPcode
\stopplacefigure
\stopalignment
goodbye

fixed in next upload (the build bot is in maintainance mode so maybe not
for all platforms)
