Hi, A week ago we had the (nice and pleasant) annual context meeting and as usual some new stuff has been presented there which was not yet in the distribution at that moment. Some pending code is now being moved into the distribution. Part is font related (lmtx only, not relevant for most users), most is metafun (luametafun or metafun xl or whatever name suits) related (including a new preliminary manual) which uses some new interfaces and therefore (currently) is lmtx only. At the meeting Mojca and Harald did some experiments with the whole range of raspberry pi's (as part of upgrading the compile farm with a pi 4). The outcomes can be found at https://meeting.contextgarden.net/2019/talks/2019-09-20-harald-pi/to_pi_or_n... (There are some more slides there.) Because running tex on a 4 (with plenty of memory and an external ssd) is more reasonable than on the older models, I've added an lmtx installer for the pi. Some measurements with (really) simple runs show that performance is 3-4 times less than my laptop, which is not that bad (it helps that the 4 has a decent ethernet and usb3 bus); I don't know about more complex tests.

Hi Hans, I just updated. I had to delete the cache for context to work again, got weird errors compiling a file that works normally. So my question: since creating a new cache and format takes only a few seconds, wouldn't it make sense to include it in install.sh ? All best, thanks for the new version Thomas

I've added that feature but one needs the new install.sh script then (from the zip).

Hi, Hans—
The latest lmtx now processes my docs as it should when texmf-cache was
deleted before installation. So, where is this zip that has the revised
install.sh script?

You can add to the end of the install script: echo "Removing luatex-cache/context" rm -r tex/texmf-cache/luatex-cache/context dr. Hans van der Meer

I reinstalled 64 bit Linux from http://www.pragma-ade.nl/install.htm and now it works again. Thanks a lot for supporting debian stable again. One thing, with: mtxrun --autogenerate --script context as suggested by the install script I get unknown script 'context.lua' or 'mtx-context.lua' The command "/home/juh/context-linux-64/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/context" works. Any hints? TIA juh

you need to have /home/juh/context-linux-64/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin in your path or use fully qualified paths 'mtxrun' and 'context' are aliases of 'luametatex' Hans -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.nl | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
