Hi,
I uploaded a new beta. The usual fixes (as reported to/suggested on this list) and an updated unit mechanism. I'll also upload the new (but yet incomplete) units manual.

Thanks from me too. Yes, I think we are pretty close with this. A few problems (and possible enhancements) are detailed in the attached (source and pdf). (Hans: this supersedes the one I sent you privately). Robin

- concerning unicode celsuis and fahrenheit symbols: lm has only one of them hence the inconsistent rendering. I now check for both being present and fallback in case one of them is missing. - dB (A) : I've added that feature () sounds ok to me. - Are succesive per's always to be collapsed? 10 a/b/c or 10 a/bc? - I'll see what I can do with multiple units.

I thought it might be a font thing
- dB (A) : I've added that feature () sounds ok to me.
Great!
- Are succesive per's always to be collapsed? 10 a/b/c or 10 a/bc?
Well, I was thinking about that last night. Technically, yes: one is only supposed to have one per or / in a unit, and any subsequent ones have no effect. But actually I now think that if an author wants that, there may be reasons, so let's leave it as it is. Then you can actually write \starttext It is correct that \unit{1 metre per second per second} is \unit{1 metre per second second} and is also \unit{1 metre per square second}. \stoptext
- I'll see what I can do with multiple units.
Thanks. Not an urgent one for me. I'm thinking about the numeric formatting capability now ... I will write something and send to the list for comment. Robin

That should work in the copy I sent you (at least minutes and seconds do).
