columns in footnotes broken

The manual describes a way to set footnotes in columns: \setupfootnotes[n=number] (Context: the manual (Nov. 12, 2001), pp. 101-2) That has caused errors for me in the 2008-10-23 or 2008-10-31 releases. mjg TEST DOCUMENT: \setupfootnotes[n=2] \starttext First sentence here.\footnote{Note one.} Second sentence here. \footnote{Note two.} Third sentence here.\footnote{Note three.} \stoptext ERROR MESSAGE ConTeXt ver: 2008.10.31 13:58 MKIV fmt: 2008.11.1 int: english/ english [snip] fonts : using map file: original-public-lm {/Users/michaelgreen/Applications/context/tex/texmf-context/fonts/map/ pdftex/context/original-public-lm.map} !

Context release 2008.10.31
by Taco Hoekwater 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi, Most of you have probably deduced this, but Hans has released a new version of ConTeXT past friday. New features: * There now is a Persian interface (format) * The whole multilingual subsystem is rewritten and is now generated by a script from a single lua database table. ** Note: ** External modules that define or set system constants ** and system variables will need updating. * New versions of the greek, vim and bib modules * More files have been split into mkii+mkiv parts * The old, dvipdfm style font mapfiles have been removed because newer versions of (x)dvipdfmx support the pdftex-style map format * mkiv now has support for 'special' features like knockout vs overprint and spot colors via attributes For pdftex users, there are not that many changes, but users of xetex of luatex are advised to update a.s.a.p. The wiki page is here: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2008.10.31 It is clear already that there are a few issues with the new release (esp. wrt. external modules) but it still makes sense to update *now* so that all these problems can be resolved in the next few days. This release is already included in the ConTeXt Minimals distribution http://wiki.contextgarden.net/ConTeXt_Minimals If you use a different distribution, you can download the cont-tmf.zip from Pragma ADE directly: http://www.pragma-ade.com Have fun, Taco

Last current
by Wolfgang Schuster 02 Nov '08

Hi, the last current release still contains \latetua in core-two.mkiv for \savetwopassdata and the two modules m-subsub and m-educat use the old mutiligual interface. The collection of third party modules cont-ext contains a too old version (with startconstants/variables) of the letter module, I put a newer version on the garden a few days ago. Thanks and regards, Wolfgang

external figure extension name PDF not supported
by Zhaopeng Xing 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Hi, There is a problem about a figure name. When I use pdf figures, capital "xx.PDF" can not be identified, while only "xx.pdf" is supported. I hope it can be fixed because my odf printer always give extension name "PDF". Thanks. -- Zhaopeng XING Tinbergen Institute

\item doesn't work with ConTeXt (works with LuaTeX/TeX)
by Mildred Ki'Lya 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi, I have a strange error with ConTeXt. This error isn't produced using LuaTeX. The error seems to be in one of the CoTeXt files but I can't understand it. I hope some of you will be able to help me there. The code is as simple as that: ===== test.tex ===== 1 \begingroup 2 \item{1} test 1 3 \item{2} test 2 4 \endgroup 5 6 \end 7 ==================== Now, if I run 'context test', I get at some point the following error: ! Missing } inserted. <inserted text> } <to be read again> \endgroup \stopitemgroup ...mdepth }\egroup \else \endgroup \global \advance \itemdept... l.5 ? Attached, the complete log. I hope you'll be able to understand that strange error. Thanks.
