All my examples work fine with the new release. I have not tested the 
new features yet. However, I observed something strange with bibtex.

Does bibtex only look at the files in the $TEXMFLOCAL tree? 
Specifically, does it only check files in the ls-R inside $TEXMFLOCAL 
tree? Earlier I used to put all the IEEEfull and IEEEabrv bib files in 
texmf-local and bibtex could find them happily. Now, to organize 
things better, I do not touch texmf-local but put all my "personal" 
files in texmf-project. Bibtex can not seem to find the bib files in 
texmf-project, while texmfstart --locate finds it. So, I am guessing 
that bibtex does not look in ls-R in all the trees in $TEXMF.

Is this expected behaviour, or is something misconfigured on my 
computer.

PS: I am using the bibtex that comes with the windows stand alone 
installer of context. This is what bibtex -version says
