I cannot get a PDF/A document produced with the latest MkIV beta 2020.05.18 16:46 (LMTX works without issue). Using the example from the wiki (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/PDF/A) I get the error stating:

<inserted text> ... \p_file {\backendparameter {xmpfile}}\ifempty                                                   \p_file \else \clf_setxmpf... \setup_backend ...end [#1]\the \everysetupbackend

l.11 ...ISO coated v2 300\letterpercent\space (ECI)] mtx-context     | fatal error: return code: 1

Removing either of the \setupbackend instructions still results in the same error.

Same issue for PDF/X.

Is it a bug, or is it me?

It's a bug, there is a check in the MkIV version of the code which should be only in the LMTX version. I uploaded new versions.

We're also redoing some low level support macros; these were (and have been) okay so there is no real need to replace them but by using some new features they could be done a bit nicer and they even became a bit faster cq. have less imprint on memory usage, but that will only be noticed in extreme documents that rely on them, like maybe thomas 1000 page natural tables or Massi's configuration extensive applications; we'll see. Wolfgang and I are checking these modules and related core code which will take a while (the test suite runs ok) but any issues, if any, will be solved fast. In due time it might bring some additional options.
