Hi, the following code results in an empty output when typeset by MKIV on my system: \usemodule[bib] \setuppublications[criterium=all] \setupbibtex[database=mypublications] \starttext \placepublications \stoptext \end The same code typeset with MKII produces the list of all bibliography items in the .bib file, as expected. Is it a bug or is MKIV different in some respect? If it is a bug, is there a workaround?

\placepublications[criterium=all]
Shouldn't that have the same effect as \setuppublications[criterium=all]? In any case, I still get no output. I have also run (again) luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make but I get no output yet. Then, I have tried to typeset with my ConTeXt Minimals installation (ConTeXt ver: 2010.06.10 15:24 MKIV), with the same result (no output). But with ConTeXt Minimals MKII, the output is fine (even without following your suggestion). Btw, in both versions of MKII, the following does *not* produce a list of publications: \usemodule[bib] \setupbibtex[database=mypublications] \starttext \placepublications[criterium=all] \stoptext \end What can I check next?

You could try adding some text or even a section command. At some point it should start working (probably even without an explicit \cite anywhere). Nevertheless, it looks like a bug. Best wishes, Taco

Unfortunately, adding text or sectioning command doesn't help. Today I have updated ConTeXt Minimals as usual, using sh ./first-setup.sh, but the version I've got is 2010.05.24 (whereas I had 2010.06.10). Why? Needless to say, I don't get any output yet. Since nobody has confirmed that the problem I have described can be reproduced, I must infer that it is something related to my particular setup. So, I will provide more details on my configuration (sorry for the verbosity), hoping that someone will spot something that should be fixed. Under the latest Mac OS X, I use both (stable) ConTeXt from TeX Live 2009 and an installation of ConTeXt Minimals (beta) in ~/Library/texmf/context-minimals. This is how I update ConTeXt in TeX Live, step by step: 1) update the ConTeXt distribution to the latest stable release: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/ 2) Update LuaTeX executable: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/luatex/osx-universal/bin/l uatex /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin/ 3) Re-build LuaTeX format files: cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c/luatex sudo luatex -ini luatex.ini sudo luatex -ini lualatex.ini sudo luatex -ini dviluatex.ini sudo luatex -ini dvilualatex.ini 4) Update XeTeX executable: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/xetex/osx-universal/bin/xe tex /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin/ 5) Re-build XeTeX format files: sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt xelatex sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt xetex 7) Update MetaPost executable: sudo rsync -av rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/bin/metapost/osx-universal/bin /mpost /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin/ 8) Update MetaPost format files: sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt mpost sudo fmtutil-sys --byfmt metafun cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-var/web2c/metapost/ sudo mpost -ini mfplain dump 9) Fix permissions of some executables (I always have to do this: is it a known bug?) cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/lua sudo chmod +x luatools.lua mtxrun.lua cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/perl sudo chmod +x *.pl cd /usr/local/texlive/2009/texmf-dist/scripts/context/stubs/unix/ sudo chmod +x * 10) Update MKII format files: sudo mktexlsr sudo -H texexec --make --all sudo -H texexec --make --xtx --all (here I use -H because I want the format files to be written under /usr/local/texlive and not in ~/Library/texmf/web2c) 11) Update MKIV format files: luatools --generate context --make Note that these last two commands are run without sudo, because I have chosen to have luatex-cache under ~/Library/texmf, so I have added export TEXMFCACHE=~/Library/texmf to my .profile. And here is how I update ConTeXt Minimals: 0) Move to the right directory: cd ~/Library/texmf/context-minimals 1) Update first-setup.sh: curl -o first-setup.sh http://minimals.contextgarden.net/setup/first-setup.sh 2) Update ConTeXt Minimals: sh ./first-setup.sh --extras=all 3) Set environment variables (I do this every time before using ConTeXt Minimals of course): source ./tex/setuptex export TEXMFCACHE=$TEXROOT/texmf-cache Note that I also change TEXMFCACHE, not to conflict with stable ConTeXt. 4) Re-build format files: mktexlsr texexec --make --all texexec --make --xtx --all luatools --selfupdate mtxrun --selfupdate luatools --generate context --make texexec --make mpost That's it. A last remark: I have noticed that I have a .texlive2009 folder in my home folder, with the following content: texmf-var/texdoc/cache-tlpdb.lua texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdftex.fmt texmf-var/web2c/pdftex/pdftex.log Is it safe to delete?
