hello all, what is the status of the minimals? i'm still using 0.30.0 (i think), and $ luatex --version This is LuaTeX, Version beta-0.40.1-2009051315 didn't have protruding support. is it safe to upgrade? Mohamed

If seriously in doubt, just create a parallel tree and try to use the parallel tree for some time. If it fails you can still fall back to the old tree. Mojca
is hanging still broken or is there new syntax? i'm also getting an a white background with and no bullet points with; \usemodule[simpleslides] [style=HorizontalStripes, color=blue] ... \startitemize \item Demo. \stopitemize Mojca Miklavec wrote:

It's supposed to fetch the following version: http://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/modules/t-simpleslides/tex/context... (around end of June) Did we miss any version? Mojca

You can try to regenerate the metafun format. no that results in an empty page. aren't the formats generated when i run first-setup.sh?

They do, so I am guessing that something is going wrong. Can you try by redownloading first-setup.sh afresh and trying again? Aditya

I seriously think that something is wrong with luatex formats (if I remember correctly due to seemingly different paths). Hans, would it be possible to generate metafun format on the fly, the same way as luatex format? That would be the best solution. But we need to figure out what exactly is or was wrong with luatex formats. Mojca

so, add the "if not mpsformats then .. end"
Hello Hans, Thanks a lot, but for some reason this doesn't help. I'll take a closer look once I'm back (in October) for both mkii and mkiv. Mojca PS: I don't dare to claim anything, but from my faint memories I think that metafun format doesn't regenerate once a new version of metapost comes out (I may be wrong, I would need to test, this really happens in extremely rare cases). For mkii the above solution doesn't work in circumstances where I expected it to work (or maybe I don't understand how it's supposed to work), but I'll try to check later. PPS: I need to test for the behaviour being claimed in this mail; once I'm back.
Hi (not yet back but back) Mojca,
PS: I don't dare to claim anything, but from my faint memories I think that metafun format doesn't regenerate once a new version of metapost comes out (I may be wrong, I would need to test, this really happens in extremely rare cases).
in mkiv i check the version when i load metafun but in mkii this cannot be done conveniently (at least not at the cost of much more runtime)
For mkii the above solution doesn't work in circumstances where I expected it to work (or maybe I don't understand how it's supposed to work), but I'll try to check later.
it should force a metafun remake whenever you remake a tex format Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I find long lowercase filenames to be hard to read. By error prone, do you mean chances of a human typo, or potential filesystem errors on Windows (which does not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase filenames)? Aditya

in general such long names are probably not read (and in mkiv i do a lookup for lowercase anyway in case of no match) (also, the above name looks funny as it's no SimpleSlides) it's no problem to use HorizontalStripes in you ruser interface and lowercase in filenames but indeed the fact that we have case-insensitive filesystems are also a reason Hans ps. in project my experience is that quite some problems come from filename mismatches in sources and resources (mixed case, funny chars, one of more spaces in a row, etc) esp third party graphics ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
