I have in the past relied on
         \setpenalties\brokenpenalties{1}{10000}\
    to set the penalty for a page break after a hyphen. But with the
    latest LMTX, when I run the file, I get the error message
    Error	count has to be 1 for \brokenpenalties
Any advice on how to fix the file would be most welcome.

Probably only Hans (or Wolfgang) can give a complete answer here. But
\startsetups [*default]
   \directsetup{*reset}
   \frozen\brokenpenalties 1 10000\relax
\stopsetups
works here.
/Mikael
currently \brokenpenalties only takes one setting
\permanent\protected\def\setpenalties#1#2#3%
   {\ifdefined#1%
      \frozen#1\ifx#1\brokenpenalties
        \plusone#3\relax
      \else
        \numexpr#2+\plusone\relax\space\expandedrepeat\numexpr#2\relax
          { #3}\zerocount\relax
      \fi
    \fi}
...
PS
An interesting new feature is the possibility to set penalties depending 
on left and right page, by using options. For example
\startsetups [*default]
   \directsetup{*reset}
   \frozen\clubpenalties   3 options 4 1500 3000 250 500 0 0 \relax
\stopsetups
sets club club penalties 1500 for first line and 250 for second for 
going from left page to right page (and then 0 for the rest) and 3000 
for first line and 500 for second (and rest 0) for going from right page 
to left page.
I hope this helps a bit.
