Hi!

Has something changed regarding the installation/update procedure?
ConTeXt seems to be stuck at 2020.01.30 and downloading the newest
version results in that very version.

Steps to reproduce:

  rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
  sh ./first-setup.sh
  . tex/setuptex
  context --version
  → current version: 2020.01.30 14:13

According to

  https://minimals.contextgarden.net/current/context/

the directory “latest” seems to contain the latest version, rather
than the “beta”. first-setup.sh however uses the “beta” directory.

Has something changed and first-setup.sh hasn't been updated to
reflect that change? Or is something else going on? Adapting
first-setup.sh to mirror from the “latest” directory seems to fetch
the latest version:

  rsync -ptv rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/setup/first-setup.sh .
  sed -s '/\/bin\/mtxrun/s/--context=beta/--context=latest/' first-setup.sh
  sh ./first-setup.sh
  . tex/setuptex
  context --version
  → current version: 2020.04.30 11:10
