[edit] Note

Since the 2005.11.09 release was a bit of a problem child, I have made this page a merge of Context 2005.11.09 and Context 2005.11.11.orig. This contains the news compared to the previous stable release that was dated October 27, 2005.

[edit] Changes since 2005.10.27

[edit] Removed files

The information file context.rme

  • doc/context/general/allkind/context.rme

IIUC, it was removed following a request from the distribution maintainers, but it was outdated and increasingly incorrect anyway.

The big fallback map file

  • fonts/map/pdftex/context/context-base.map

It should not be needed anymore. If you run into trouble, ypu can load a encoding-specific base map instead, like ec-base.map.

[edit] New files

Latin Modern Maps

A set of map files for Latin Modern, added by request of the tetex/TeX-Live maintainers:

  • fonts/map/dvips/context/ec-lm.map
  • fonts/map/dvips/context/el-lm.map
  • fonts/map/dvips/context/qx-lm.map
  • fonts/map/dvips/context/t5-lm.map
  • fonts/map/dvips/context/texnansi-lm.map
  • fonts/map/dvips/context/ts1-lm.map

Waldi Symbol font files

Two support files contributed by Henning Hraban Ramm.

  • fonts/map/pdftex/context/original-wasy.map
  • symb-was.tex

Please read the symb-was.tex file for usage help and the actual symbol names.

[edit] Changes

Metafun

mp-spec.mp:

  • A preliminary bugfix in add_special_signal from Taco Hoekwater; externalfigures sometimes went missing. (Note from TH: This fix is not 100% reliable, but it will do for a while)

Perl scripts

mptopdf.pl:

  • exchange the order of some pdfetex arguments (to counter a change in the latest web2c compiled executables)

texexec.pl:

  • new commandline switches --paper (alias for --paperformat) and --offset (alias for --paperoffset)

Ruby scripts

ctx.rb:

  • bugfix in filter code (wrong variable was used)

tex.rb:

  • fixed a typo from 2005.10.27

texutil.rb:

  • bugfixes in index processing code

texmfstart.rb:

  • version 1.7.0
  • add a predefinition for runtools
  • file search reporting improved a bit

Macro files

context.tex:

  • context version is now 2005.11.11
  • new macro: \fmtname

core-ntb.tex:

  • a hook for the \type fix in core-ver.tex
  • bugfixes and a patch from Vit Zyka allowing the setting of intercolumn whitespace (columndistance, leftmargindistance, rightmargindistance).

core-reg.tex:

  • bugfixes, code cleanup, converted to low-level english

core-tbl.tex:

  • a hook for the \type fix in core-ver.tex

core-ver.tex:

  • fix to allow the use of \type in some weird places (like natural table cells) while still supporting colorization.

font-ini.tex:

  • bugfix for EC encoded text accents in math mode.

m-narrowtt.tex:

  • documentation typo fixed

supp-mis.tex:

  • use of \fmtname added (test added for use in eplain)

syst-ext.tex:

  • three new macros are added to help processing in the m-bib beta: \robustdoifinsetelse, \robustaddtocommalist, \robustpretocommalist

syst-gen.tex:

  • New macro named \expandparameters, that can be used as a prefix to \getparameters, and thereby allows additions to be made to the current value of a parameter. The new macro \currentvalue behaves as a placeholder for this current value. The 'expand the current parameter values' internal state only applies to the following use of \getparameters, it will be automatically reset. Usage: 
 \getparameters[taco][name=taco]   
 \expandparameters \getparameters[taco][name=\currentvalue\space hoekwater] 
 \message{\taconame}

verb-ini:

  • extra space in \doverbatimnobreak (bugfix)
