Hi,

We're getting close to tex live freeze and part of that process is a luatex release as well as a context snapshot. There have been no betas for a while and the reason is that I've been cleaning up some code as well as optimizing some bits. As a consequence it could be that there are some issues with an upcoming luatex / context pair but because there has been no real fundamental changes in the typesetting part problems will be easy to sort out (like using an undefine lua function or so).

Anyway, if you are not that adventurous or depend on the current version, you can best make a copy or not update from the garden too eager, just wait till the lists reports no crashes.

We will try to fix luatex/context things as fast as possible,

hi,

it _might_ be that I have been just bitten by this (or it is completely unrelated ;-)): I have previously installed standalone context on a mac w/o problems and am using it just fine.

but today I moved my current document project to a ubuntu machine for testing purposes. since there seems to be only an ancient `context' provided via apt-get (from 2015) I just installed the standalone on the ubuntu machine, too, following the instructions as good I could. context and luatex point to the executables in /usr/local/context/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin etc.

so it _seems_ to be set up correctly: but the compile run for the document (compiling just fine on the mac/older context installation) crashes on the ubuntu with a last line:

clearontext | fatal error: no return code, message: luatex: execution interrupted

(w/o trailing linefeed, too...).

if I can provide further info, please let me know.

it depends ... we're talking about luatex 1.0.3 (not on the garden yet) and a not yet published context update ... so it must be something different at your end

ok, thanks. so I misunderstood... any advice how to proceed regarding my problem? the error message doesn't mean anything to me, so I do not have any idea how to fix this (even if it were a stupid oversight on my part) ...

Hans
