Maybe this is my fault. The simpleslides module works just fine these days and I "accidentally" updated the ConTeXt to the latest version:

context --version

mtx-context     | ConTeXt Process Management 0.60
mtx-context     |
mtx-context     | main context file: /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/context.mkiv
mtx-context     | current version: 2013.02.13 18:06

and this small piece of code failed to compile:

\usemodule[simpleslides][style=BigNumber]
\starttext
\SlideTitle{Test}
test
\stoptext

This must be a consequence of the new MP instance code. I can reproduce the error, but I can't isolate it. I think the lines

metapost        > initializing instance 'metafun' using format 'metafun'
metapost        > loading 'metafun': /opt/context/tex/texmf-context/metapost/context/base/metafun.mpiv, using method: default
metapost        > initializing number mode "scaled"

point to the source of the error, but I don't know where to look.

With older version:
ConTeXt ver: 2013.01.02 18:19 MKIV fmt: 2013.1.7 int: english/english
works too! (Win7 64b).
In actual TeXlive 2012 version this example work too.


It seems that we gradually stop working other variations simpleslides
module.

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean.
