As far as I am concerned, I have a little file named « basic-test.tex » containing the lines below: eveytime I update the minimals (well… almost everytime), before doing so, I proceed as follows:
3) I typeset the file « basic-test.tex »: if everything works I keep a zipped archive of the old installation and I delete the backup copy. If the new installation doesn't work I delete the updated context-minimals and go back to my old installation (and I complain to Mojca, Hans, Taco, and the list…).

\section{Testing a section\footnote{Actually for testing footnotes in a section header\dots}}
An elementary identity: $(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2$. And a well-known identity due to Leonhard Euler in which the five most important numbers appear:

\startformula
{\rm e}^{{\rm i}\pi} + 1 = 0.

By the way, $\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin(x)dx = 0$, while
\startformula
\int_{0}^{2\pi} \sin^2(x)dx = \pi.

\startitemize[r]
\item Testing items and footnotes\footnote{This is a silly remark\dots}
\item\footnote{This is a silly remark, inside an item\dots} testing items and footnotes
\stopitemize
And a final test\footnote{This is another silly remark but outside items\dots} of a footnote.
