Hello, I am using external cross-references (across multiple files) and this seems to have been broken for a few months. Here is my minimal example: % file test_crossref1.tex \starttext \chapter[lorem]{Lorem} Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit \in{Chapter}[lorem]. \stoptext % file test_crossref2.tex \useexternaldocument[xref][test_crossref1] \starttext Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit \in{Chapter}[xref::lorem]. \stoptext I get the correct reference "Chapter 1." in test_crossref2 with a ConTeXt version from March: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.78.2 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4746) ConTeXt ver: 2014.03.22 15:31 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.3.22 int: english/english With more recent versions (including the last one downloaded this morning), the chapter number doesn't appear in test_crossref2, I only get "Chapter .", not even "??". There isn't any error message in the log file. The internal cross reference (in test_crossref1) still works fine. I have the same faulty result with these three versions: This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) ConTeXt ver: 2014.07.30 10:31 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.8.9 int: english/english This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) ConTeXt ver: 2014.09.06 20:59 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.9.11 int: english/english This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.79.1 (TeX Live 2014/dev) (rev 4972) ConTeXt ver: 2014.12.05 11:11 MKIV beta fmt: 2014.12.5 int: english/english Is this a bug or did something change in the way to build references from external files.
