Hi all,
during last several months I came accross three non-critical problems
worth reporting here:
1.
Empty lines at the beginning of the main file generates an error:
-----------------------------ERR
This is LuaTeX, Version 1.13.0 (TeX Live 2021)
  system commands enabled.
**
---------------------------------
and compilation crashes. Detected at TL 2021, at two or three month old
garden installation is does not appear (maybe it has been fixed yet).
------------------------------MWE
\starttext
xxx
\stoptext
---------------------------------
weird error ... smells liek an engine issue
...
2.
When an error during compilation of "xxx.tex" appears, the file
"xxx-error.log" is generated. But sometimes happens that file "-error.log"
is created. It makes troubles for Linux command line processing --
if user writes some mask later, "-error.log" string is interpreted by default
as list of options of a particular command.
It would be very useful if a test preventing an "empty" filename will be added.
-----------------------------LOG (file -error.log)
return {
  ["filename"]="",
  ["lastcontext"]="\n<*> c\n   ont-yes.mkiv --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname=./pokus-1.tex --c:input=./pokus-1.tex --c:kindofrun=3 -- --c:maxnofruns=1 --c:once -- -- --c:texmfbinpath=/usr/local/texlive/2021/bin/x86_64-linux",
  ["lastluaerror"]="?",
  ["lasttexerror"]="! Interruption",
  ["linenumber"]=0,
  ["offset"]=10,
}
--------------------------------
i'll try to catch that
...
3.
When simpleslides module is used, interactive element BottomSquares does not
change if the file is compiled by ConTeXt from TL2021 whereas with ConTeXt
from TL2019 it works.
-----------------------------MWE
\usemodule[simpleslides][style=BottomSquares,font=Schoolbook,size=20dd,]
\starttext
\setupTitle[title=Title]
\placeTitle
\SlideTitle{A+B} blabla
\SlideTitle{CCC} blabla
\SlideTitle{D+E} blabla
\stoptext
--------------------------------
Examples attached.
dunno
