Hi,
The latest upload has:
- a few fixed cf posts around 2025/2026 crossover
- a new parinject feature, that Hraban likely will abuse, see https://
tex.stackexchange.com/a/758011/52406 for the rationale and an
explanation / example by Mikael.
- a new (experimental) tabulate preamble key 'P' that is mostly 'p'
compatible but uses a different split paragraphs across page approach;
it is a side effect of upgrading the alignment mechanism in luametatex
in addition to already present extensions
- we also now enabled shaping penalties thatwas already enabled in my
local cont-exp for a while for testing interferences; it prevents breaks
inside shapes and hang (unless configured otherwise)
- a few improvements in \column uses in column sets but we're working on
making that more relable (not that trivial)
- gaelic language and patterns (more work needed there)
- a bit more documentation here and there (there is some more pending)

% another example, one of our tests

The new mechanism produces wrong result for right to left paragraphs
(page 2) and narrow paragraphs (page 3):
\setuppapersize[A4][A3]
\setuplayout[location=middle]
\showframe
\startbuffer
\samplefile{lorem}
\leftparinsert
[lines=3]{\blackrule[color=red,width=2cm,height=1sh,depth=1sd+2lh]}
\samplefile{lorem}
\rightparinsert[lines=3]{\blackrule[color=red,width=2cm,height=1sh,depth=1sd+2lh]}
\samplefile{lorem}
\stopbuffer
\starttext
\title{Default text direction}
\getbuffer
\title{Reverse text direction}
\startalignment[r2l]
\getbuffer
\stopalignment
\title{Narrow paragraphs}
\startnarrower
\getbuffer
\stopnarrower
\stoptext
