I have found entries on \widowpenalty, \widowpenalties, \orphanpenalty, \orphanpenalities and look forward to learning about vertical expansion. Many thanks, Hans.

+ \widowpenalties

one works top down, the other bottom up and when they colide they add up

there are some more new ones, like \orphanpenalty (and \orphanpenalties)
as well as \todlerpenalty as well as multriple parpasses

another new feature is vertical expansion

some is documented alreaydy and more details will follow (probably after
the ctx meeting)
