Thank you, I only tried \usemodule[old-columnsets] before.

It’s really annoying if ConTeXt proves unreliable time and again. I’m trying to replace InDesign in my workflows as often as possible, but if I need to check and rework my environments with every other beta, it’s no fun and costs a lot of time.

Clearly you haven't understood the meaning of “beta”. If you don't want your documents to break, don't update.

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.
