What version of context are your referring to, i.e. what its the output of context --version? texlive 2012 is just around the corner. We had to adapt some code to recent changes in context, so it is indeed possible that this is not backward compatible with older versions. I can only speak for myself, but I don't think that it's worthwhile looking into problems with older versions; texlive 2012 should be released within the next few weeks (maybe Aditya has different opinions on this). So if you need this urgently, best install the context-suite, aka minimals, or wait for TL2012. All best Thomas
Hi Thomas, Thanks for your quick response, here's the version of my ConTeXt, joshua@msh-pc1983:~$ context --version mtx-context | main context file: /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/tex/context/base/context.mkiv mtx-context | current version: 2011.05.18 18:04 Best regards, Zhiguang On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 8:29 PM, Thomas A.

Hi Zhiguang, yes, that's as I suspected: there was an overhaul of some core components last December or January, I think, so this version is unlikely to work with a recent simpleslides module. It should work with the current standalone version. All best Thomas
Hi Thomas, Do you know how to upgrade ConTeXt package from texlive 2011 or tlcontrib? I can not find the latest ConTeXt version for texlive 2011. Best regards, Zhiguang On Fri, Jun 15, 2012 at 8:07 PM, Thomas A. Schmitz < thomas.schmitz@uni-bonn.de> wrote:
