ConTeXt 2006.04.27 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. The current release has version 2006.04.27, and it is on the wiki as http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Context_2006.04.27 The most important news items are (I guess) * the addition of some modules to cont-ext.zip: - t-construction-plan - t-degrade - t-french * Support for leftpage and rightpage floats. * Of course, there are also a number of bugs fixed. Happy TeXing, Taco Hoekwater

t-french: Looking at http://dl.contextgarden.net/modules/t-french/doc/context/third/t-french/t-fr... shouldn't the \enableregime[utf] be moved to the bottom (mode = demo)? Otherwise one always enforces UTF, which one may not want. t-degrade: Shouldn't one use texutil instead of epstopdf? They should be able to to the same, but texutil is in fact installed on ConTeXt systems, epstopdf may not. Tobias

indeed, up to the author ...

better: newpdftops (will replace pstopdf soon) which is part of context and does a bit more than the converted built into texutil 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

indeed, so you have a mismatch (do a recursive delete of the fmt files) and remake again 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Since that worked, the old formats must have been in ~/texmf itself (not in a subdirectory). Lucky! But if they are in a subdirectory, then "rm -r *.fmt" won't get rid of them. You'd instead want: cd ~/texmf && rm -f `find -name '*.fmt'` && etc. And it can be worse: my old ones were ~/.texmf-var/web2c/*.fmt -Sanjoy `Never underestimate the evil of which men of power are capable.' --Bertrand Russell, _War Crimes in Vietnam_, chapter 1.

I think that, although the format files were probably remade, they are not in the location where texexec finds them, so it is finding the previous set. If that's the case, a short-term hack is to figure out where texexec put the new formats and then copy them over the old formats. However, that means doing so every time you upgrade, and it's better to let computers deal with such matters automatically. Not sure if you are using Unix or Linux, but if you are, these directions may be useful (even if it's not Debian): http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Debian_installation#Steps_to_finish_a_first_co...

Hi Johannes, Please check, whether the new format files are in the correct place. There were problems with the automatic placeing in the right place. May be that they are placed in the current path in a separate folder. Kind regards Willi Johannes Graumann wrote:
