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.

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

I have no idea what this is supposed to mean. Thomas
