Context 2010.05.08
As Hans wrote already, there is a new context current. The short news summary: * Many of the stubs for the ruby tools have gone away. If you want one of the old command names back, just create a link from mtxrun to the required name, e.g. copy mtxrun.exe to mptopdf.exe on windows. Eventually all perl and ruby scripts will be gone. Most functionality is already provided by lua variants. * The hyphenation patterns for German, German (old), Hungarian and Spanish have been updated from the tex-hyphen project. * New versions of the ancientgreek, letter, and simplefont modules are included. * New modules (mkiv only): barcodes and punk * Support for shockwave flash has been updated (mkiv only). The backend code has been rewritten and currently only pdf is supported. * The split between mkii and mkiv is getting more complete. Only a few mkii bug fixes have taken place. * Typescripts are now split completely and no definitions are shared; loading of a mkio/mkiv file takes precedence over a tex file. As always, there is a detailed changes file on the wiki: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2010.05.08 This current context is meant for texlive 2010, but there is a little time before the final freeze of the texlive repository, so there will be a bugfix update in a week or so. If you have pending urgent bugs (especially in mkii) this would be an excellent time to report them. You could try the mailing list, but a better approach to bug reporting is to simultaneously create a tracker item at this url: http://tracker.luatex.org/search.php?project_id=2 Best wishes, Taco

done that http://tracker.luatex.org/view.php?id=393 it seems pdfboolean function akways returns true if default argumennt is true. Sincerely, Michail

is it worth trying to fix 3D annotations now? I have a patch I have posted here (3D annotations thread), but it is both a fix for errors (like == used instead of = ) and a work-around for missing base features (bitmap preview done "by hand" while, it seems, the authors dalayed the question till something is implemented in luatex/ConTeXt the right way) - so it may not classify exactly as just a bugfix. Sincerely, Michail

some things were fixed, so best first check against the latest beta and then summarize the problems Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

first - it does not work due to typos like local name = viewname local name = pdfunicode((view.name ~= "" and name) or "unknown view") - likely someone started to write code, but dropped the idea and never tested Or local subtype, subdata = "U3D", io.readdata(foundname) or "" if find(subdata,"^PRC") then subtype == "PRC" elseif find(subdata,"^U3D") then subtype == "U3D" elseif file.extname(foundname) == "prc" then subtype == "PRC" end it seems == is used instead of =, io.readdata instead of file.readdata - again, some one wrote the code but had no time to read the result Second, more important - no preview image is created. patch and test case attached Sincerely, Michail

well, i'm that someone but indeed i didn't test it (as i have no test files on my system anyway) .. are those tests you sent free? i.e. can i add them to the testbed?
patch and test case attached
patched roughly that way ... new beta on the website Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Already? MTXrun | current version: 2010.05.13 12:15 has old version of lpdf-u3d.lua Tests are free (made by me in free Asymptote tool). BTW, there were u3d test files sent to you some time ago (their names can be seen in back-u3d.mkiv). I'll try to put them together with back-u3d.mkiv into a usable test case. One more 3D related questoin - support for attaching files to PDF. It seems that instead of embedding 3D annotation into main PDF file sometimes it is better to attach to it a separate file with just an annotation in it and have a picture that will launch that file when clicked on. It is done in LaTeX via attachfile2 package, like as in http://www.iaas.msu.ru/tmp/u3d/m117_old.pdf at page 194 Is it posiible to have something like it in ConTeXt? Sincerely, Michail

i think that it's still embedded but the annot is defined as a pop one (open in other window is a generic property) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
