Dear list,

although latest beta seems to be from 2016.09.20 21:12, I get updated to beta from 2016.09.12 18:27 when I run:

The official download still has the 2016.09.12 timestamp: http://pragma-ade.nl/download-2.htm How did you get that other date? I hope the git mirror isn’t scraping the wrong page ;)

Philipp,

I know that there is a new beta reading the metadata from http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf.

Here is the revealing field:

True, this means there exists a new version of context somewhere. But what you do not know is that there is a third context release state. Besides 'current' and 'beta' there is also 'latest'. 'Latest' contains experimental and/or in development code that needs to be shared for further testing or development. The easiest way for Hans to do that is to upload a new version to the website, and whenever any version of context is uploaded, the qrcs are uploaded as well. An easier and safer way to check for a new context release is to browse through the 'download' section of the Pragma website, which is always auto-updated in the release process. Or just run first-setup whenever you feel like it ;) Best wishes, Taco

When a new beta is realeased, this is the easiest way for me to know.

But probably Hans is busy with the ConTeXt Meeting next week and he didn’t upload the beta.

Many thanks for your help,
