Hi, We have worked furiously all day kicking-out extra code, and are pleased to present a lean-and-mean version of luatex with your favorite ConTeXt. Same good taste but only half the calories and a new name: luametatex and ConTeXt LMTX. No more Mk-whatever, no more dependencies for we can now stand on our own. Of course, good-old luatex and MkIV (as well as MkII) will continue to coexist and be maintained. However, now you will be able to run ConTeXt lmtx on your smart thermostat or on your refrigerator for the Internet of Things - the dawn of a new era! Stay tuned, Alan and Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

That sound like a very good thing indeed ! Is it available for download already? .F

I would have already published the link on the server in Slovenia, but it seems that there was a bug on the thermostat in the server room (I was apparently too exhausted yesterday to properly test before I fell in bed) which lead to some hardware failures. You'll probably need to wait for another server to be set up. I hope the delay won't be too long. (I'm really sorry for the inconvenience.) Mojca

I hacked into Hans’ home automation server via the SpiritInTheSky interface of my dead badger, running Vüdü Linux 6.66, and borrowed the latest omega version. I thought I got it to run, but now the badger is moonstruck and my documents are full of moon phase symbols and fnords. I wouldn’t recommend to try this early version without vaccinating your hardware first. I guess it’s just too meta.

I get an error when using pgfplots: \usemodule[pgfplots] \starttext Hello \stoptext gives tex error > tex error on line 1 in file /opt/luametatex/tex/texmf-modules/tex/generic/pgf/libraries/decorations/pgflibrarydecorations.pathreplacing.code.tex: ! Undefined control sequence <write> ... set (\string \pgfplotsset {compat=\mostrecent }). The error is coming from the following code in pgfplotssysgeneric.code.tex: \pgfplots@message{Package pgfplots notification 'compat/show suggested version=true': document has been generated with the most recent feature set (\string\pgfplotsset{compat=\mostrecent}).^^J}% where \pgfplot@message is defined as: \def\pgfplots@message#1{% \immediate\write16{#1}% }% To me, it seems like an error in pgfplots (I think that instead of \mostrecent, the error message should use `\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/compat/mostrecent}`) and is easily fixable by setting `\let\mostrecent=\relax` before loading pgfplots. What is interesting is that for some reason the error message does not show up in ConTeXt MkIV. I couldn't make a minimal example to show the difference between the two. Aditya

if i grep the pgf path then indeed there are files with forward slashes and in few plaes with backslashes
What is interesting is that for some reason the error message does not show up in ConTeXt MkIV. I couldn't make a minimal example to show the difference between the two. maybe a different file is loaded based on some check ... hard to see with so many files loaded
