ConTeXt versioning system unvisible to the users (user interface is the same), distinguishing the developement of ConTeXt low level interface and the use of different TeX engines. Most of the files are same for all versions, but some of them (fonts, encodings, file handling) may be different and they come with different suffixes (somefile.mkii, somefile.mkiv). Read more on internal versioning in ConTeXt, mkii & mkiv.
