I really had no idea that ConTeXt is so strict when assigning values.
I always used this notation, since it helps you to _not_ forget any
commas. I always thought the value-string would end with the last '}'.
Thanks for pointing this out, Aditya. That is really good to know.

Hello together,
my old set-up was an Ubuntu/tex-live installation, but I recently (finally) did a reset-up, and I am now running ArchLinux together with the context-minimals-git from AUR [1]. This should contain the latest build.
Yes, context-minimals-git is just a wrapper around first-setup.sh to make it easier to install and uninstall the context package.
As I understand it, there has been an update to the letter-module, but there is currently no updated documentation available. Is this correct?
Please have a look at the following minimal example
------ >8 ------ min-ex.tex \enableregime[utf] \mainlanguage[de]
\usemodule[letter]
\setupletter [ toname={Max Musterman} , toaddress={Musterstraße 10} , fromname={Me} , fromaddress={Muster Weg 10} , phone={0123-45678} , mobile={0175-31689} , date=\currentdate , list={phone,mobile,date} , subject={This is a minimal example with missing reference list} , opening={Sehr geehrter Mustermann,} , closing={Mit freundlichen Grüßen,} , signature={Me} ]
Note that ConTeXt has a very strict way of specifying key-value options. You need
\setupletter [ .... key=value, .... ]
You cannot have any space around the "=" sign **or** the ",". For the last option, you must either have a comma on the same line or the closing bracket on the same line. So, use
\setupletter [ .... signature={Me},
]
\startletter \input knuth \stopletter ------ >8 ------
$ texexec min-ex.tex
or
$ context min-ex.tex
will only display the current date on the very right, but no phone or mobile number.
Perhaps because the list is set to "{phone,mobile,date}\n".
1) What is the new way of setting up the reference line? 2) Please also note the "space" between the addresser and his/her address in the addressee field. Is there a way to get rid of this space?
