Hi Hans,
maybe after the current is made (which happens sometime within the next two weeks)
best make sure that we have no serious bugs (experimental features apart)
I think it's better to start a new thread for this issue. I maintain a small list of bugs and quirks which I would like to share. I don't know if the issues are considered bugs or not. I posted most of them to the mailing list at some point, but AFAIK they have not been fixed for whatever reason. Usually there are simple workarounds or I have some code which fixes the issue. Others are still unresolved.

well, if something really crashes due to some 'programming' error it's indeed a bug (i tend to add such tests then to the test suite so that it gets checked) other cases depend a bit on how complex it is to deal with it given the tex language, take this one:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
%% Newline after \placelegend fails \starttext \startplacelegend
\startcontent Foo \stopcontent \startcaption Bar \stopcaption \stopplacelegend \stoptext
If you want that, you also want \starttext \startplacelegend \startcontent Foo Bar \stopcontent \startcaption Bar Foo \stopcaption \stopplacelegend \stoptext That's actually a side effect of how such a mechanism is implemented but in this case it can be catched (at the cost of a bit less efficiency). The problem then is that after a while one wonders why the particular lines of code were there. (you can test / look into the zip on the ftp server) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

tricky given the meaning of spaces ... I've sent you something to test (keep in mind that in these example there are leading spaces but they happen to be gobbled by tex; the new strip option wil front/back strip spaces) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

ok, that's a real bug, it should be pair Location[][] ; % second [] was lost in mp-page.mpiv the initialization of those variables was made delayed when i found out that mp needed 4 seconds instead of < 1 on a manual; in th emeantime mp's mem management has been improved much but i'll keep the delayed code as it's more efficient anyway - but also a bit more complex 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

It's already the second time you warn me about this. Should I be concerned?
... upto you and wolfgang to check it
Actually I used a patched version for months in several projects without issues. I replaced the kern with an hskip. That said, it's unlikely that *I* will run into issues. And I'm curious about an example where this fails and yields unacceptable results (like the unpatched version does). Thanks Hans for taking the time to look into that. Marco
