Hi all, I've just downloaded and installed the long-expected TeXlive 2008:). My question is: is it's ConTeXt up-to-date? What about ConTeXt upgrades? (TeXlive 2008 can upgrade it's packages automatically; does anyone know how long will it take for new ConTeXt versions to propagate to TeXlive?) It would be much more convenient not to have two distinct TeX installations: one for LaTeX and one for ConTeXt... Thanks in advance -- Marcin Borkowski (http://mbork.faculty.fmcs.amu.edu.pl) Jesus is alive. What about you?

Do you need MKIV? I fear it is too new and changing too rapidly for TL, even with updates. I've just been trying to get my ConTeXt stuff working, so while I can't comment on the plans of ConTeXt's authors, I can tell you what works for me, namely, MKII but not MKIV The latter says it can't find lm fonts. The version of luatex in TL2008 is: $ which luatex /usr/local/texlive/2008/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu/luatex $ luatex --version | head -1 This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.25.4-2008081616
From the linux minimals:
$ luatex --version
This is LuaTeX, Version snapshot-0.28.0-2008071500
MKIV from minimal is working for me (Fedora 8 32-bit).
The environment modules system makes it easy to
have multiple TeX systems installed.
The current luatex version (from http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/luatex)
is 0.29.

No, but you can update it yourself.

I have promissed not to spend too much time for TeX, but there might appear dedicated updates. Until then you can set rsync updates to the existing or local tree. Mojca
So, which ConTeXt version *is* in TeXLive 2008 then?
