\placeinitial used to work but now does not with the latest beta.

Try the example from http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Initials.

\setupinitial[color=red,font=Bold sa 4,distance=3pt,state=start,n=3]

\starttext

\placeinitial \input knuth

\stoptext

fixed in next beta (we can now probably assume the garden has luatex 0.81 for all platforms)
