Latest Context version ?

Latest Context version ?

[w.neimeijer]

Hi,

I was looking on the Context Wiki and Pragma to check whether
the Context version I am using is still up to date.
I am using Context version 2007.06.06 09:53.

But on Pragma in the download area the main Context distribution has
a date/timestamp 2007-04-17 14:03. On the Context Wiki on the Release
Notes page it also mentions Context 2007.04.17.

How can I have a newer Context version, which apparently does not exist ?

Kind regards
Wim

You have a beta version of ConTeXt. If you update context using 
ctxtools --update, you get the latest beta version. Usually beta 
version is pretty stable, but occasionally there are some bugs. 
Basically, whenever someone requests a feature, Hans implements it and 
uploads a beta, so that it is easier for others to test the code. The 
beta is also available from pragma's website. The wiki does not say 
give details of each beta, as that would be a LOT of work.

As a side note: live.contextgarden.net has always the latest beta
installed and you can see which version it uses.
