Hi, Taco and I have decided to release a beta now. Officially there should have been a current end of december but there were too many things going on at the mkiv/luatex end to make that happen. Most changes concern mkiv anyway as we've kind of frozen mkii. Also, due to the number of changes in the lua code making a diff now would take too much time and not gain much. The next current will be in the second half of februari. Before that we will have a series of alphas that use the new structure related code. They're alpha because for a while there might be some compatibility issues (solving them depends in testers noticing them). This is also the first big deviation between mkii and mkiv, since it opens up the way to new functionality.

OK, I have removed the lock in minimals, so the beta in minimals reflects the state on your site again. The current version is "the old patched beta" since the official current version doesn't work with the latest luatex. In theory one should not need to use luatools --selfupdate any more when switching to older or newer versions of ConTeXt with mtx-update (first-setup), but I would like to fix that in a slightly different way one day. Three less common platforms still lack tha latest luatex. (If that includes your platform and you would like to use it, you can send me a new binary.) Mojca
Hi, Hans:
what about math font? I am eager to use Asana Math, and cambria in my document:)
btw, is it really difficult to write a fontforge script to convert all
the math tfm/pfb into opentype MATH table?

currently the math part of luatex is being opened up so in a few month you will see support for cambria showing up concerning the ff script ... well, you can give it a try (if for the moment we forget about extendible symbols it should be doable) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
