but Wolfgang has to double check it for side effects.

Hi,
Thanks Hans for the upload! MetaFun's new 3D features look really
impressive, and in many cases seem to give better results than
closed-source (and expensive) solutions!
I also noticed what looks like a small bug with `location=right` for
captions (or maybe a bug in the way I'm using it): the following
modification to the Wiki example (https://wiki.contextgarden.net/
Command/setupcaption <https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Command/
setupcaption>) produces a caption for Figure 2 that overlaps with
Figure 3.
```
\starttext
\definefloat[rightfigure][rightfigure][figure]
\setupcaption[rightfigure][location=right]
\placefigure{\input{ward}}{\framed{figure 1}}
\placerightfigure{\input{ward}}{\framed{figure 2}}
\placefigure{\input{ward}}{\framed{figure 3}}
\stoptext
```
Cheers,
Florent

Thank you!
Unfortunately, I see changes WRT floats:
captions that used to be left aligned are now centered,
combinations are wider than textwidth, and their captions are
even wider.
I found a MWE for caption alignment, but so far not for the
combination
problem:
\useMPlibrary[dum]
\setupcaptions[figure][
align=flushleft,
number=no,
]
\starttext
\startplacefigure[location=top,title=Some caption]
\externalfigure[dummy][width=1tw]
\stopplacefigure
\stoptext
