[NTG-context] Re: zint 2.12.0 barcode generator

[Keith McKay <mckaymeister@gmail.com>]

Apologies. I realised late last night that I had forgotten to update the 
paths zint in my shell and after doing that this morning all now works.

Apologies again.

Thanks for the help.

If I am correct, is ConTeXt likely to be updated so that 2.12.0 works?  I originally installed zint with Homebrew. There is a very complicated thread on stackoverflow on how to downgrade to previous versions of a formula in homebrew, but it is far too complicated for my wee brain.
