I have recently used tikz in a project, and it works fine. The only=20 trouble with the latest beta is that Hans has removed the funny commands=20 with @ in them, which are a legacy of plain TeX, in favour of more legible= =20 command names. For example, \minusone in place of \m@ne, \zeropoint in=20 place of \z@ etc. This makes ConTeXt code more readable, but at the same=20 time means that any package which was compatible with plain TeX,=20 LaTeX, and ConTeXt, will now fail in ConTeXt. Fixing this is as simple as adding a few \let old-command =3D new command= =20 things in the beginning. The easiest solution is to collect such things in= =20 a module, and import them before importing tikz or any other module which= =20 relies on the existance of plain TeX like macros.
