=== mark version ===
: 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 [[#engine|engines]]. Most of the source files are the same for all versions, but some of them (fonts, encodings, file handling) may be different and they come with different suffixes (<code>somefile.mkii</code>, <code>somefile.mkiv</code>).

=== version tag ===: Due to rapid ConTeXt versioning system unvisible to development its versions are marked with date & time stamp. You can print the users (user interface is actual version in the same), distinguishing the developement of ConTeXt low level interface and the use of different TeX document with [[#enginecmd:contextversion|engines\contextversion]]. Most of the files are same for all versions, but some of them (fonts, encodings, file handling) may be different and they come or you can check vesrion more thoroughly on commandline with different suffixes (<code>somefile.mkiitexmfstart texexec --check</code>, <code>somefile.mkiv</code>). Read more on internal versioning in [[manual:mk.pdf| ConTeXt, mkii & mkiv]]. : ''See:'' Developers sometimes speak about [[#mkimark version|mkimark version]], . It is related to different TeX [[#mkiiengine|mkii]], [[#mkiii|mkiii]], [[#mkiv|mkivengines]]and regular user should be aware only of date & time stamp.
