Last mkii ?

Last mkii ?

[luigi scarso]

From
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes


 Context 2007.08.07
 The Mark IV release
 a few small bugfixes



 Context 2007.07.25
 improved support for math over- ander underarrows
 a few small bugfixes

Should we consider
Context 2007.07.25
as last mkii ?

Better,
should we consider  Context 2007.07.25 + pdftex 1.40.5
to be fronzen sooner or later ,
given that we  already/will  have
mkiv + luatex ?

one reason for not releasing is that we have a hybrid distribution now 
(mkii, mkiv) and there has been fundamental changes to luatex which 
means that we need to release in sync; the good news is that we're 
getting close to such a release

what is last ... maybe no fundamental new features in mkii, but fixes 
and small extensions for sure (keep in mind that many things are shared 
since they dont depend in lua at all)

that will indeed be the case

also, i will completely rewrite some bits and pieces (sectioning for 
instance)

however, there is the case of xetex ... that's mostly mkii code so 
eventually mkii may end up as the version for xetex and mkiv as the one 
for luatex
