The columns environment uses now the newer mixedcolumns mechanism which is the reason for the differences in your document.

To use the older columns mechanism add \usemodule[old-multicolumns] to your document.

In the last days I recognized that some of my ConTeXt projects behave differently WRT spacing, not only with \framed, but also with heads - everywhere there’s more space induced than before.
The attached screenshot shows an example of before and after.

The headings are set up like

\setuphead[section,subject][page=no,
	before={\testpage[7]\blank},after=,
	previousnumber=no, sectionsegments=section]
\setuphead[subsection,subsubject][style={\bf},
	before={\testpage[7]\blank[small]},after=,
	sectionsegments=section:subsection]

"1 Aufnahme" is a section, "1.1" is a subsection; I always use the start/stop version.

To get back to the old behaviour, I need to replace the \blank commands with a negative vskip of font size!
And then there’s still space inserted if the heading starts at the top of a column.

I tried to come up with a MWE – headingspacetest.tex shows at least that there’s always space inserted before section headers.

It might be related to some font handling, since the spacing changes affect different "things" in different projects – frames with my label stickers and on my magazine covers, headings like here. Or maybe the changes are unrelated.

This change happened between ConTeXt versions 2018.07.27 and 2018.09.01. I didn’t change my code.

Unfortunately there are no older versions of ConTeXt to go back to any more.
