Hi! The site https://distribution.contextgarden.net/ uses an invalid certificate: echo | openssl s_client -servername 'distribution.contextgarden.net' -connect 'distribution.contextgarden.net':443 2>/dev/null | openssl x509 -noout -ext subjectAltName X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: DNS:4tex.ntg.nl, DNS:mailman.ntg.nl, DNS:mysql-admin.ntg.nl, DNS:ntg.nl, DNS:www.ntg.nl This makes connections fail. distribution.contextgarden.net has to be added to the Alternative Name list.

Even if it used the right certificate, it would not work right now because of the move: there is nothing behind the connection. Best wishes, Taco

I used that server to check for the latest context version. What's the recommended way to check for the latest version? Basically the output of the \contextversion command? Marco

The command

context —version

gives the local installed version.

That lists the *local* version, not the most current available version.

Not sure whether there is a clean way to see if there is a remote newer update without actually doing an update.

This is how I check for the remote version: curl --silent --connect-timeout 5 \ 'https://distribution.contextgarden.net/current/context/latest/tex/context/ba...' | sed -ne '/\\edef\\contextversion/s/.*{\(.*\)}/\1/p' Not pretty, but has been working for a decade or so (except the minimals → standalone change a while ago).

You can check the mailing list, all new releases by Hans are now reported on the ntg-context list

That's not practical, I'm afraid. Marco
