#ConTeXt in #TeXlive was only updated on release so far and didn’t even receive bugfixes.

Max Chernoff has now taken over ConTeXt maintenance for TeX live, so that it will lag only a few days behind the standalone #LMTX distribution from now.

For a few “exotic” platforms there are no current #LuaMetaTeX binaries – but they’re easy to compile yourself, and you’re better off with the lean LMTX distribution anyway.

The latest #ConTeXt #LMTX updates fixed some issues with Chinese and right-to-left languages (Persian months and RTL tables). Also the math manual got an update.

Several detail discussions on the mailing list lead to another bugfix release of #ConTeXt #LMTX.

There’s a new update for #ConTeXt #LMTX, it should fix a few bugs that were discussed on the mailing list.

Today’s update for #ConTeXt #LMTX fixes a few minor bugs.

#ConTeXt #LMTX update warning:

“The next upload is kind of special so best save the old tex tree if you update.

The most significant "change" is that columnsets are in the process of being replaced which involves a "change in approach". As a consequence, when you use that mechanism – we're not sure how many actually do – and want the old code to kick in you need to load the "oldcolumnsets" module.
