Hi,
Since a module nesting check has been introduced in file-mod.mkvi, the TikZ modules provoke "module wrapping error" messages in the log file. May I kindly ask the maintainer of the TikZ modules to insert the missing \startmodule command in the following files:
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgf.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgfbim.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgfcor.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\frontendlayer\t-tikz.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\math\t-pgfmat.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\systemlayer\t-pgfsys.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfcal.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgffor.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfkey.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfmod.tex <context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfrcs.tex

Thanks for the report. I suspect that the maintainer of TikZ might not be reading this mailing list (and is certainly not a ConTeXt user himself).
I'm CC-ing him. The issue tracker is here: https://sourceforge.net/p/pgf/bugs/
In the past Hans and Aditya wrote a number of patches for TikZ (potentially even fixing this particular issues, I'm not sure), but not all of them were included.
So ... we need some more persistence in making sure that things get fixed. This list might be the best place to get the patches, but then you need to make sure that the patches are actually included upstream. (This reminds me that I probably need to check if TikZ is still properly synchronized with upstream in our distribution. As far as I know SF is dropping support for CVS and I need to check how we sync the sources now.)

Thank you Mojca, I hope that Christian will take care for this. Keep up the good work! Cheers, Christoph
Hi, thanks for making me aware of problems with ConTeXt and TikZ. I will look into it, probably after christmas. I would appreciate it if you could make a detailed report, especially containing the missing statements or the suggested modifications. The report can be a mail; ticket is also fine with me.

Hi Christian,
Thank you for your support. I think you should insert a line
\startmodule[<name>]
after \unprotect in the following files
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgf.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgfbim.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\basiclayer\t-pgfcor.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\frontendlayer\t-tikz.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\math\t-pgfmat.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\systemlayer\t-pgfsys.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfcal.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgffor.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfkey.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfmod.tex
<context-base>\tex\texmf-modules\tex\context\pgf\utilities\t-pgfrcs.tex
The <name> should be the file-name without the leading "t-" and
without the extension ".tex".
E.g: \startmodule[pgf]
Please anybody correct me if I am wrong or missing something.
Kind regards,
Christoph
