Hi, No functional changes this time: - some more consistent usage of new primitives instead of helper macros, also a bit of a look and feel related effort as well as getting even less tracing clutter (the kind of changes for Wolfgang to check -) - as aside effect there is some performance gain (there is not that much more to gain now unless we go ugly); this all depends on usage of course - at some point some of the more obscure middle level helpers (dating from mkii) might move to a module as i don't think anyone uses them in lmtx There are quite some files affected (all is tripple checked but who knows). If there are issues, they should be easy to fix. We're now moving into page builder (another side effect of math tuneup) mode and have some new features coming there.

Hi Hans, Page puilder mode sounds interesting! What are you plans for that? Best, Denis

Things like: - overflow area - vertical expansion - more detailed tracing - more accurate \testpage - initial and as-we-go stretch/shrink manipulation Most is already there but in the process of being documented and tested. Atached is an example (from the manual) that shows somethign that can be handy for those who typeset novels and such. (vz is a variant on hz and is something that Hermann Zapf suggested long ago when we discussed vertical expansion.) Other tricks are: \setupalign[vertical,height] .... \setpagelooseness[-2] .... and such which can be used to influence the current page.
