modules
by Hans Hagen 25 Feb '11

Hi, Something new. If you add a section like this in a module: % begin info % % title : show character data % % comment : show some info about characters in the character database % status : experimental, used for luatex testing % % end info context --modules will report this. It only works with modules in the trees (the path where context.mkiv sits is also taken as I want my dev path to be included). Another 'change' is in messaging. Eventually all messages will be redone, but we will have a transition stage. See mult-mes.lua for how it will be (currently a hybrid approach). I will post some more about this later.

beta
by Hans Hagen 21 Feb '11

21 Feb '11

Hi, For those with access to the ftp version ... I replaced the margin text code. There is now a split between margindata marginframed The first takes care of placement, the second (when defined) adds framed support to it. See end of typo-mar.mkiv for definitions. There is new stacking and offset code, alignment methods, new inner/outer code, name based overload etc. Basically all is written from scratch with the existing mechanism in mind. (One reason for the rewrite is that I needed some specific features myself.) No documentation (of course). Lets first see if it breaks or fails. Still pretty beta so expect more the coming days. Probably not production code.

Automatic generation of filename database
by Oliver Buerschaper 14 Feb '11

14 Feb '11

Hi, it seems that the minimals have lost their ability to automatically generate the luatex filename database… now mtxrun --generate is needed (again) before anything else works. Formats are still generated automatically though. I'm afraid I can't pin down when that change happened but it's present at least in 2011.02.11 18:18 2011.02.05 11:37 Would it be much work to (re)enable this? I'm aware that all things configuration files have undergone a massive overhaul recently but this feature would really be nice to have again :-) Best, Oliver

Hans, I was away for a while. What exactly is the current status of ConTeXt beta and what exactly do I need to change? Is the change for "selfautoparent:" ready now? Is there anything else that I should do right away? Mojca

beta
by Hans Hagen 07 Feb '11

07 Feb '11

Hi, I uploaded a beta to the ftp server. Changes are: -- cleaned up logging, consistently using logs.new -- this makes it possible to disable log categories (using --silent or using directive logs.blocked) -- cleaned up regime code (also a hack to force loading under utf) -- as a side effect some code moved to lfg files I probably made some types as logging happens all over the place. I hope that it does not break third party modules.

\nonknuthmode breaks _ in protected mode
by Wolfgang Schuster 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Hi Hans, the \nonknuthmode in core-def.mkiv breaks _ in modules: \starttext \the\catcode`\_ \unprotect \the\catcode`\_ \protect \the\catcode`\_ \stoptext It helps when you enable \nonknuthmode with \everystarttext (or \everyjob), e.g. \appendtoks \nonknuthmode \to \everystarttext Wolfgang
