Context 2006.07.13 released
Hello all, I am pleased to announce that the new ConTeXt release from Hans Hagen can be downloaded as of now from the Pragma ADE website or one of its mirrors. http://www.pragma-ade.com/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://context.aanhet.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip http://mirror.contextgarden.net/context/current/cont-tmf.zip The current release has version 2006.07.13 A very short list of changes is given below. As usual, there is an html page with more detailed release notes available on the Wiki, see: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Release_Notes New features since 2006.05.11: * The use of \sometxt in MetaPost figures (instead of \textext) can remove the need for indirect "texexec" runs, resulting in a massive speed improvement for heavy documents. * Table splitting is reimplemented and improved * Initial support for the new TeXGyre font families * A new release of the bib module, with better support for interaction and per-chapter bibliographies * Some small extensions to \framed * The database module now supports ASCII (non-TeX) files with CSV quoting * \setupformulae accepts a conversion parameter now * More built in math support (matrices etc.) * A prerelease of the "koeieletters" font * A new module for R integration * Itemizations can be randomized (for multiple-choice courseware) * Support for typesetting OpenMath (via MathML) Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

Do I understand correct that this is meant to generally replace \textext from inside metapost figures? Is the following change correct, for example: % prevent wobbling of text boxes with uneven depth pic := textext("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); into: pic := sometxt("\setbox0=\hbox{"&labeltext&"}\dp0=0pt\box0"); Are there restrictions? When to use \sometxt and when is there need for \textext? Hans van der Meer

this should work
Are there restrictions? When to use \sometxt and when is there need for \textext?
when such texts are used in e.g. mp loops, you should use textext 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Hi Hans, The problem is apparently due to \useencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] without it works well... All I can say is: It was working well before updating (ConTeXt 2006.06.09 + bib beta 5)...
