Hi, I wanted to share some observations from enabling the latest MkIV
code (2008.09.24, compiled luatex from svn just now) to run on a new
installation of TeXLive 2008 on 64bit Linux. This is my first time
trying MkIV.
First -- a comment on installing using TeXLive 2008, which hopefully
is helpful to others. In my installation I noticed that
x86-64/bin/luatools was symlinked to
texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/luatools. The rsync update
process as outlined on garden does not update this file; it updates
texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua/luatools.lua. So this needs to be
copied (or linked) over to make the update work. The same issues
exists with mtxrun. The symptom was a broken "context --make".
Now, on to my issues. I am listing anything that used to work in my
TeXLive 2007 installation of MkII but fails in 2008 (MkII or MkIV).
Items 1-3 were tested on garden as well to ensure it was not an issue
in my setup --
1. \placefloat[here]{none} fails. \placegraphic works instead. This
works on MkII. See test_placefloat.tex.
2. MkIV fails due to the \startcolor...\stopcolor sequence embedded in
a natural table (see test_color.tex). A working alternative is
commented in that file.
3. MkIV will not typeset the file test.tex. It is due to using
{style=\switchtobodyfont[tt]} in the table setup. Using [modern,tt]
works fine, but this is not necessary with MkII.
4. This is a MkII issue (or maybe it is a pdftex problem?) MkII on
2007, texexec --dvi on 2008, and MkIV all work. The problem is with
pulling in an external figure like this --
\externalfigure[/tmp/testfigure]
The files /tmp/testfigure.eps and /tmp/testfigure.pdf exist. This
should use the full path to find the file, and will pick the eps when
creating dvi and the pdf when creating pdf's. As mentioned, this
works with every combination I tested except 2008 MkII. Some (not
very usable for me) workarounds are --
- use the filename without the path and add the path using
\setupexternalfigures[directory=]
- specify the .pdf extension (means I cannot typeset to dvi if I want
to; I find this useful for previewing with xdvi's auto-reload)
- use \setupexternalfigures[directory=/] and use a relative path
5. Just a comment on performance -- I noticed that using MkIV on a
complicated document I have took 23 minutes vs. 12 minutes with MkII.
I didn't know if MkIV is expected to be slower/comparable/faster at
this stage.
Anyway, I hope this is useful to other users and to the developers.
Best Regards,
Brian

Use \placefigure, \placefigure ... the correct syntax is
\placefloat[floattype][here|page|...]{}{}

\bTD 4 \clear 0/8 \eTD
I think Hans is faster to find the bug, here is a shorter example:
\starttext
\bTABLE[aligncharacter=yes,alignmentcharacter={/}]
\bTR
\bTD 4 \startcolor[red] 0/8 \stopcolor \eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\stoptext

Use style=mono.

Depends on your document, a few things are slower like font loading
but other things like MetaPost graphics are faster, it is also good to
have
a machine with 2 GB of memory or more .

this will not add potentially interfering nodes (in mkii)
