Hello, dear Hans. I have a Lua module that doesn't work in the latest version 2024.08.16 16:30. After investigation, I found that the errors first occurred in the appendaction. It could be appended normally in the version 2024.04.01 08:59, but failed in the latest version. So, I made a minimum runnable example for the appendaction problem, mini-try.lmtx, as ```ConTeXt \startluacode Moduledata = Moduledata or {} Moduledata.vtypeset = Moduledata.vtypeset or {} function Moduledata.vtypeset.rotate_all1(head) print(">>>>>> HERE IS ROTATE_ALL1") return head, done end function Moduledata.vtypeset.rotate_all2(head) print(">>>>>> HERE IS ROTATE_ALL2") return head, done end nodes.tasks.appendaction("processors", "after", "Moduledata.vtypeset.rotate_all1") nodes.tasks.appendaction("shipouts", "after", "Moduledata.vtypeset.rotate_all2") -- fails here \stopluacode \starttext try \stoptext ``` Compiled the mini-try.lmtx and got outputs in terminal: ```text D:\ah21\TEX\vertical-typesetting>cd d:\ah21\TEX\vertical-typesetting & chcp 65001 & context d:\ah21\TEX\vertical-typesetting\mini-try.lmtx Active code page: 65001 resolvers | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': luametatex --jobname="d:/ah21/TEX/vertical-typesetting/mini-try.lmtx" --socket --shell-escape --fmt=D:/venvs/context-win64/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.fmt --lua=D:/venvs/context-win64/tex/texmf-cache/luametatex-cache/context/5fe67e0bfe781ce0dde776fb1556f32e/formats/luametatex/cont-en.lui --c:currentrun=1 --c:fulljobname="d:/ah21/TEX/vertical-typesetting/mini-try.lmtx" --c:input="d:/ah21/TEX/vertical-typesetting/mini-try.lmtx" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="D:/venvs/context-win64/tex/texmf-win64/bin" system > system > ConTeXt ver: 2024.08.16 16:30 LMTX fmt: 2024.9.15 int: english/english system > system > 'cont-new.mkxl' loaded open source > level 1, order 1, name 'D:/venvs/context-win64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl' system > beware: some patches loaded from cont-new.mkiv close source > level 1, order 1, name 'D:/venvs/context-win64/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkxl/cont-new.mkxl' system > files > jobname 'd:/ah21/TEX/vertical-typesetting/mini-try', input 'd:/ah21/TEX/vertical-typesetting/mini-try.lmtx', result 'd:/ah21/TEX/vertical-typesetting/mini-try' fonts > latin modern fonts are not preloaded languages > language 'en' is active open source > level 1, order 2, name 'd:/ah21/TEX/vertical-typesetting/mini-try.lmtx' fonts > preloading latin modern fonts (second stage) fonts > 'fallback modern rm 12pt' is loaded

If so, how to do it? Best regards, 黄复雄(Huang Fusyong)
