[edit] Context 2009.11.26
- The context command now supports --autopdf
- Mark IV now has a new method for font selection in addition to name: and file:, called spec:. This uses heuristics to find a font based on the requested properties, for example: times-normal-italic
- Mark IV now supports line notes and proper \formulanumbers
- and a bunch of bugfixes, of course
[edit] Context 2009.10.27
This release fixes a fairly large number of bugs and oversights in mkiv, and few in mkii.
[edit] Context 2009.08.19
This is the context version on TeXLive 2009.
Note TeXLive 2009 ships with a broken MkIV, because the luatex on TeXLive is too old. Hans and I apologise for that, but it was just not feasible to include a newer luatex. Once TeXLive is released, we will write down a recipe to upgrade its luatex binary.
This is the first actually documented release for 2009 after a very long time of no release (and no release notes).The reason for that is that ConTeXt is now split quite rigurously into source files for mkii and source files for mkiv. Also, many of the core functions in context mkiv have been rewritten to make extensive use of lua. Unfortunately, this means that there is a massive amount of changes, and there is just no way I can create proper release notes. Just follow the link for a (long) list of new, old, and renamed source files. Taco 14:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
