[***SPAM***] Updating Context or "Never change a running System"?
Hello, I did my last Context-Project 15 months ago - a small book. Now I want to write the next book. Do you suggest to update my Context-installation? I have installed ConTeXt Standalone (Minimal?) My versions are: Contextversion: 2011.11.04 14:15 Contextversion -Number: 201111004 14:15 MKIV Textengine LuaTeX Textengine-Number: 0.70.1 Which are the new versions? Are there important changes in the new versions? Where can I find an actual changelog? Regards Janis

Hello,
I did my last Context-Project 15 months ago - a small book. Now I want to write the next book. Do you suggest to update my Context-installation? no, just make another standalone into a different folder and then try to port the project into the new one.
I have installed ConTeXt Standalone (Minimal?)
My versions are:
Contextversion: 2011.11.04 14:15 Contextversion -Number: 201111004 14:15 MKIV Textengine LuaTeX Textengine-Number: 0.70.1

The release notes here seem to be old: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes What nice new things can I find in the new version? Or is anywhere an actual changelog/release_note? Regards Janis

Taco normally made those when a new current showed up but it's a tedious job and he's quite busy now. (the current current is a pre-current that will get frozen when tl 2013 freezes) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Janis, The closest you will get to a changelog, at the moment, is the git mirror of the source: http://repo.or.cz/w/context.git That is not so useful if you want to know what new features have arrived in the past year, but I thought I should mention it anyway. I think one could also find a reasonable subset of feature announcements by looking at e-mails to this list with the following properties * from:pragma@wxs.nl (that's Hans) * "new in" OR "next beta" OR "new beta" * after:2011-11-04 * (possibly: first in thread) Unluckily, I can't convince my Gmail to search for that --- it ignores the quotation marks, so I get buried in false positives. Cheers, Sietse

depends on how advanced your docs are ... for a typical 'uses 10 ,ost popular commands' document an older version is probably quite ok but, if you update luatex, you also need to update context (and vise versa) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
